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.

Judges visit schools across the country and choose three students to attend the national competition, one each from indications of problems at the other schools being investigated; inquiries will be made for fact-finding purposes. "The purpose is to get a representative sample of the practices and purposes of universities in spending government research funding," he said. Although resource limitations seven passengers on the DC-9 were killed. All 153 people on the 727' escaped serious injury. In earlier testimony yesterday, ground controller John Eby said he didn't realize the DC-9 was in im- minent danger. The NTSB investi- gating committee will report its findings later this year to the full five-member board, which will rule on the probable cause of the crash and make recommendations on how to prevent a recurrence. the east, west and midwest.

"Many universities have been prompted by the hearings on Stanford to take a closer look at their cost recovery," Fitzgibbons said. 338 SOUTH STATE STREET, ANN ARBOR 996-9191 ~ s SEARS!

"I think it had the potential to turn into something ugly and it protests," Green said. "MSA has an obligation to facilitate debate on is- sues. It should refrain from dictat- ing debate." "MSA should be turned into an organizing center. We have to fight to make this University open to working class people," Carmouche said. Current MSA Vice President Burks said that if elected she would use methods of negotiation and ac- tivism. "MSA belongs to the students.

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.
