academics even more than many believe.

The halt in ongoing curriculum development also could harm the University's
effort to gain rcaccreditatioii for teacher-
education next year.
Since A-Senatc's 27 standing committees are not meeting, any proposals for
such changes would echo in empty
meeting rooms. All course changes and
additions are due to respective committees
by late October. Moodie said. The bulk of
A-Senatc's membership consists of faculty.
Normally, faculty members and department chairs begin to discuss changes now.

"I hope that doesn't happen," said
President Kdward B. .Jakubauskas. referring to the talked-about delays in registration "1 hope negotiations will be resumed
so we can get back to the job of educating
our students."

the   Bulletin    must    reach   completion   by
early February.

This includes course proposals for the
Centralis scholar program, which now
only offers courses for freshman. Finck
said proposed courses for sophomores
must go through the undergraduate curriculum committee and A-Senate for
approval.
Since the committee and A-Senate annul meet ing. curriculum addit ions are at a

In addition, the spring course offering

President: bargaining
strife fault of faculty
by KAREN EMERSON
I  :l  >     ' .[,. .   ..I  t'icje,  ! .  I ,!-!,,!
As CMU professors take steps loxvaul a strike. CMU's president
blames slow bargaining in part on the faculty union's openness about
ingot iat ions.
President Kdward B. .Jakubauskas said the way faculty members
are putting pressure on the administration to get a contract is not
"productive."
"If theie xxas less bargaining to the press and the public we could get
tilings done." Jakubauskas said. "We had agreed we would not talk
about  all these things in public and then they stalled doing it
"They're trying to gel as much as they can."
Members of the Faculty Association already began taking steps
toward a job action invest igal ion. which is rei|uired by the Michigan
Kilucation Association for teachers to strike. FA Piesident fitly Meiss
said.
"You'll probably hear more about that in the week to come." Meiss.
associate professor of journalism, said
The faculty's bargaining team twice lowered its salary increase
proposal. Meiss said, adding that t he most recent rciiucsl was for a 7..r>
percent salary increase and a 15 percent increase for benefits,
including health care, life insurance and vision and denial coverage.
Jakubauskas said some faculty members argued for a higher salary
increase because of his salary increase last summer.
"They use me like I'm some sort of scapegoat." Jakubauskas said.
"That's not the way to bargain.
"It'll he so much better to sit down and talk it out. They need to stop
bargaining to the public — that needs to cease and desist — so we can
