GEO presented its economic proposals at the last meeting Feb. 25 and is waiting for the Univer- sity's response today. "I think the University will try to propose a settlement package so we could possibly resolve the whole issue," said GEO President Chris Roberson. GEO proposals include a 15 percent wage increase next year, 10 percent the following year, au- tomatic Cost of Living Adjust- ments, and subsidized child care. Roberson said if GEO is unsat- isfied with the University's eco- nomic package, the union and the University could go into a period of unofficial mediation to resolve the economic issues. MSA Continued from page 1 the fight first," Clowney said. According to police reports, the officers tried to end the fighting by shouting instructions to the crowd before using the mace. The letter states that Vice Pres- ident for Student Services Mary Ann Swain "initiated an investiga- tion into the incident" Jan. 23. It said by the afternoon of the same day she was unable to contact anyone who had heard the "racial slurs." Some of the proposals agreed upon at the Feb. 25 meeting in- clude stipulations that all costs of instruction materials will be paid for by the University and that TAs will be consulted before any grade changes are made by a department chair. 'Nothing is going to unite TAs faster then salary issues' - John Robb GEO bargainer One issue that will be further discussed is specifications on salaried pay for TAs. Currently, TAs are not paid for preparation time activities - such as reading texts or viewing films for a class. As a result, GEO wants to be paid for a more specific accounting of work under the contract. "They (the University) don't want to admit that people aren'@ getting paid for work they are do- ing," Roberson said. "The point of.; work is to be paid." Roberson cited the English Composition department as one example of the problem. "TAs as- signed to grade composition papers aren't required to read the books which the papers are based on. Not only is this unfair to the TAs, bu also to their students," Roberson said. John Robb, a member of the GEO bargaining team, said the ; University's refusal to specify pay was an attempt to settle negotia- tions quickly. "Nothing is going to unite TAs , faster then salary issues," he said. "They want us to give up things (like overtime pay) so we can fin-4 ish negotiations quicker." University administrators were unavailable to comment on the GEO proposals. GULF Continued from page 1 But the flight from Saudi Ara- bia was scrubbed because of poor visibility there and high winds in Baghdad, U.S. military officials said. Weather permitting, the swap will take place today, they. said. So far this week, at least 40 service people have returned to Michigan from duty in the Gulf. At K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base near Gwinn, 36 personnel landed on Sunday. Two air force personnel arrived Monday at Selfridge Air National Guard Base near Mount Clemens. 1/2 roundtrip from Detroit Guatemala $275 +London $285 Paris $349 Madrid $375 Tokyo $799* Restrictions may apply.

Developments that worry some on Capitol Hill and elsewhere in- clude: A notification that the United States intends to sell $1.6 billion in new weapons to Egypt, a leading ally in the Gulf War. The list includes 46 F-16 fighter planes, 80 air-to-ground Maverick missiles and 240 cluster bombs. It also includes 48 guided glide bombs of the type the United States used to hit targets in Baghdad; A recent classified report to Congress listing $33 billion in pro- posed weapons sales this year to American allies around the,~world, with more than two-thirds of it des- tined for Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates, and; The administration's apparent intention to reimburse Israel and Turkey for hundreds of millions of dollars in military costs associated with the Gulf War, and indications that some U.S. weapons may be left behind when troops withdraw from Saudi Arabia. Continued from page 1 said. "The volunteers learn to be flexible and resourceful." Dean said the program has al- ready been implemented in 12 other colleges since 1985. Cecil Miskel, dean of the School of Education and in charge of the program, said he is excited about the new prospect. "The program will recruit highly motivated and talented people who have a unique perspec- tive that will help the Detroit school system as well as the School of Education," Miskel said. Miskel said the volunteers will help the School of Education in developing new teacher education "The University officials said they were investigating the inci- dent, but they weren't," Clowney said. "They just said that to pacify the students." On Feb. 22, Rackham student Carmel Morgan asked the Ann Ar- bor City Council to investigate the incident as well. The students asked MSA to write a resolution because "it has been a very closed issue. We just wanted to get it out to all the stu- dents," Clowney said. Law School Rep. Michael War- ren said if the group really wanted CORPS programs for graduate students. The University has agreed to grant in-state tuition for the partic- ipants. Miskel said the Peace Corps will also help indirectly with funding by identifying potential donators for scholarship funds to cover tuition and fees. "We are excited about the op- portunity to implement the pro- gram at Michigan since this was where John F. Kennedy first an- nounced the Peace Corps 30 years ago," said Dale Gilles, another University program coordinator for the Peace Corps. Coverdell and several Peace Corps volunteers will also speak at Rackham Auditorium at 7:30 to- day, and a reception afterward will allow students to speak with past Peace Corps volunteers. GROUPS Continued from page 1 year law student Michael David Warren, Jr. commented on the fu- ture of his group. "We supported the principles and decisions that undergirded Desert Storm. We believed it to be essential that America, as the leader of the free world, oppose tyrannical aggression." "We are especially proud and happy that the Gulf War ended, even before we were able to orga- nize our activities," he said. "We will have a final organizational meeting on Thursday with the offi- cers, and it is probable that we will disband." action, it should take its com- plaints to Student Legal Services to find out if it has grounds to sue the University or the AAPD. He said it probably wouldn't affect the-: administration if MSA passed a@ resolution. "Whatever MSA says; no one is going to listen to us," he said.
