Labor Council postpones strike sanction - USF waits On April 24, the Office and Professional Employees, local No. 3. broke off negotiations with the University of San Francisco and voted 63 to 7 to ask the Central l.abor Council to sanction a possible strike. According to George Davis, president of OPE, the strike vote occurred after all the other options of the Union had been followed. He said that "economic pressure" was the only really potent weapon the union can wield, although "every other reasonable means" had been used in previous negotiations. The vote was prompted by a meeting last week that never occurred. At the last negotiation meeting on April 19, the OPE said that they would gladly meet with the University sometime before Thursday, but not later due to other commitments by Davis. The University insisted that William Grommesch, Director of Personnel at USF, could not have any figures necessary for the meeting before Thursday. The Union believed that the University had had more than enough time to prepare such material (negotiations began in November, 1973) and felt that this was a delaying tactic. Following this incident, the Union decided to break off negotiations and seek the Central Labor Council strike sanction. While seventy people voted on the strike issue, the Union local has a membership of 120 to 126. This raises the question of the amount of support within the local on the matter of the strike. According to Davis, however, the vast majority among the people who voted indicates the great support within the local. As Pat Beish- No News Yet The Central Labor Council has decided to withhold its sanction until after the negotiating session held yesterday. As this was far too late to meet the Foghorn's deadline, we will report their final decision, and the decision ofthe Union as to whether or not to use the sanction if it is given, in next week's paper. euvel, English department secretary and a member of the negotiating committee for the Union, pointed out, "after all, 63 out of 70 ii 90%." Next Tuesday, the Union will decide whether or not to use the Central Labor Council's sanction to organize a strike at USF. The results of that decision will be announced in neft week's Foghorn. Dr. Anthony Seidl. University Provost and head of the administration's delegation to the negotiating committee, was not surprised by the decision to seek strike sanction, calling it "normal procedure" in such matters. He was hopeful that the contract could be settled without striking, expressing the view that "people of good will interested in settling issues" would reach an agreement favorable to both sides. If the local does go on a CLC-sanctioned strike, it is very likely that other USF unions, such as plant employees and food service employees, would honor the picket lines. Should this occur, the University is making "contingency plans" to try to continue services, according to Seidl. Management personnel would try to continue services on at least a reduced basis. The Foghorn mistakenly reported last week that one major point of contention between the University and the Union was whether the Union would completely control hiring of staff. This was inaccurately termed a "union shop", but is in fact a "closed shop". In a "union shop", which is what the Union is requesting, no restrictions are placed on hiring, but employees must join the Union within one month of their hiring.

After completing its investigations as the Committee of the Whole, the Senate passed the budget, which was based on the assumption that the student activity fee will be raised to $35. It presently is charged at $32 per year. The increase must be approved by the administration before it can go into effect. The budget sessions produced a document notable for its lack of certain traditional services. While some organizations' budgets were increased, others were virtually eliminated. Both the Don yearbook and the Quarterly literary magazine were funded only one dollar, since neither publication had selected an editor or had a staff for next year. They could be given funds next semester if ASUSF coffers are filed with extra activity fee money by an unexpectedly large enrollment. If the activity fee is not raised, new budgetary plans will have to be drawn up, and services provided by the student Association will have to be drastically reduced. In the approved budget, the publications generally fared well, if they were funded at all. KUSF radio station was reduced from this year's $8,300 budget to a $7,800 for next year. Both the Foghorn and the Daily Don, however, received increased funding. The Activities area did much better.

Senior class, received more funds than this year, and the La Raza Unida, and Town Hall remained at the same levels. The tight budget was necessitated by several factors, including increased costs of materials needed to provide some services, increased number of services sponsored by some organizations (ie more SEC concerts and films), and by increased requests by some organizations. Most importantly, the declining enrollment dictated the utilitarianism of the budget. Only 3,000 undergraduates are expected to enroll next semester, according to the Office of Institutional Studies, a decrease of approximately 10 per cent. The budget for student offices located on fourth floor University Center was increased, owing largely to increased telephone expenses, lobbying costs, and incidental expenses.
