Members of the Graduate Em-
ployees Organization (GEO) pro-
posed a 9 percent salary increase
over the next two years and a cost-
of-living adjustment in a negotia-
tion session with University bar-
gainers Wednesday night.
The GEO proposal was revised
from an earlier economic package
which called for a 12 percent salary
increase in 1991-92 and a 9 percent
increase in 1992-93.
"They (the University) moved
up from 3.5 percent to 4 percent so
we compromised too," said Alan
Zundel, a member of the GEO bar-
gaining team.
GEO and University bargainers
signed an agreement for a union rep-
resentative to sit on a new commit-
tee to evaluate childcare opportuni-
ties for faculty and staff.
"We reached tentative agree-
ments to have a GEO representative
on the Family Care Resources Pro-
In compromise proposal, TAs
ask for 9% increase in 2 years
gram which is a new program to
provide resources on family care is-
sues," said University spokesperson
Colleen Dolan-Greene.
Despite agreement on the child-
care committee, several issues were
dropped from the bargaining table.
The issues of dental insurance in
the first year of employment, addi-
tional information about class size
and TA positions available in each
department were dropped because
"no agreement was reached," said
Zundel.
However, the issues of two-term
notification for TAs and other eco-
nomic issues remain on the bargain-
ing table.
Zundel said the other main issue
discussed at the negotiation session
was the rationale behind the Uni-
versity's refusal to meet GEO's
economic demands.
"They presented a lot of evidence
about state cuts in education, but
only 25 percent comes from the
state.What about the other pieces of
the revenue pie?" asked Zundel.
"Tuition is going up and they are
trying to raise money. And, the ad-
ministrators are getting raises. We
don't see that the budget is suffer-
ing as much as they say it is," he
added.
GEO organizer Ingrid Kock
speculated about where the Univer-
sity funds for undergraduate educa-@
tion are going.
"Where is the money going?
They are trying to raise approxi-
mately $700 million dollars to im-
prove the undergraduate experience,
but none of that money is going to
limit class sizes or to give TAs
more prepartion time for classes,"
she said.
Dolan-Greene refused comment
on the $700 million, but did ac-
knowledge that attempts are being
made to improve the undergraduate
experience.
Metro air controller guessed visibility before crash
killed.
Gonzales had rated the visibility
at a quarter mile shortly before the
crash. Pilots testified visibility in
spots was as low as 100 feet.
Gonzales told the hearing he
didn't use a Federal Aviation Ad-
ministration chart for estimating
visibility, nor did he rely on any
specific check points on it because he
was familiar with the area.
His supervisor, Marcia Boliard,
testified next that she was unsure if
controllers generally rely on the
chart, "but if you don't use it, you
better darn well know those check
points."
At 1:45 p.m. on Dec. 3, a Pitts-
burgh-bound DC-9 with 44 people
aboard made two wrong turns and
crossed Runway 3 Center on which a
Memphis, Tenn.-bound Boeing 727
was speeding toward takeoff.
The 727's wing cut through the
body of the DC-9, spilling fuel that
caught fire. A flight attendant and
contact the pilots had before the
crash, he said.
-He called that "a very pivotal
point," and said investigators will
examine how the two planes wound
up on a collision course.
Howard said it was believed 13
crew members were aboard one P-3
Orion and 14 on the other.

probably would be made.

protests," Green said. "MSA has an
obligation to facilitate debate on is-

"MSA should be turned into an

said.

for both sides of the issue," she said,
"We didn't know what to expect. I
think it would be better to have a
moderator not affiliated with
UAC. We tried to, but it fell
through."
"If I believe in something, I'm
going to fight for it," Stempein
said, basically agreeing with the.
Common Sense party's platform of
combining negotiation and activism.
"I think that protesting is a radi-
cal solution. I think a good rapport
with the administration is needed
and I think that should start with
respect," said Julie Davies, CC's
vice presidential candidate.
