BY JOHN D. GONZALEZ

A 10-year-old dispute between Faculty Association and non-FA members may be resolved Dec. 3 by
Isabella County 21st Circuil Court Judge Paul F.
O'Connell.
FA President Ed McKenna said OConnell will
make the final settlement on a nuit the FA filed in
1976. charging some 200 faculty members did not
pay agency shop fees.
Although faculty member* are not required to join
FA. non-member* mu->t Kt ill pay 90 to 95 percent of
thr agency .-hop fees or union dues. McKenna said.
A notice appearing on page 2 of today's CM LIFE
Male*   those   non-member*   who   have   not   been
notified about the settlement, because they did not
have or seek legal counsel, still can question the
settlement. But any petitions must be written and
addressed to O'Connell by Nov. 28. A copy also must
be sent to the non-FA faculty member's attorney
Reynold* Campbell. 215 W. Broadway.
If O'Connell accepts the settlements from both
side*. non-FA members will receive 60 percent of
their money from an escrow account that currently
haa the non-FA members' money from 1974 to 1986.
Non-FA members also will receive 50 percent of
the union due* — which cover collective bargaining,
filing grievances and negotiating a contract — from
1986-87.
McKenna said in a previous interview, union dues
are $343 this year snd were about $130 in 1974.
The non-FA faculty members were ordered to put
agency-fee money into an escrow account once FA
filed the suit, said George L. Stengren, a non-FA
member named on the suit against the union.
McKenna, professor of sociology, anthropology
and social work, said he did not know if anyone
would petition the settlement, but added not many
non-FA faculty do not have representation.
The notice reads a faculty member "who does not
challenge the form of the proposed judgment in
writing.. .will be presumed to have no objection to
the form of the proposed judgment."
Stengren said the settlement between the FA and
non-FA faculty says unions must become more
adherent to faculty needs.
Things sre coming to an end," said Stengren.
professor of philosophy. "Labor unions have to
become responsible members of society like the rest
of us.
"Fm really not anti- or pro-union.. .because
unions can be valuable and useful, but they slso
have to restrain themselves," he added.
In May, the FA originally proposed the faculty pay
70 percent of the dues owed with interest waived,
but in June the faculty countered with an offer of 40
percent. That eventually was accepted.
"(The FA» knew damn well they couldn't have
proved it in court." Stengren said. "If it had gone toi
trial we would have won and (the FA) wouldn't have
gotten a penny. They're glad to get what they did."

Allocation committee to
wrap up budget review,
approval this weekend
BY CHRIS MURRAY
LIFE Stafl WfFiei	
All but two student organizations may have their budgets
approved by the Student Budget Review and Allocation Committee
by Sunday.
Orchesis Dance Theatre is scheduled for a hearing Sunday to
explain their proposed budget, SBAC Chairman Dennis McCarthy
said, however approval is not expected before Monday.
The Women's Center is the only other organization out of the
approximate 40 groups that may not get SBAC and administrative
approval until after Sunday, McCarthy, Rloomfield Hills senior,
said.
SBAC probably will finish budget allocations about two weeks
earlier than last year. The committee and Susan Repp, assistant
vice president of Student Affairs, did not finish last year's allocation
process until December 1985, he said.
After organizations file to receive University funds, SBAC
reviews the proposed budgets and sets hearing dates for larger
organizations. In the past, each organization was required to attend
a hearing, but this year SBAC decided to hear only certain groups.
After each hearing, the SBAC's recommendations are submitted
to the Office of Student Life for Repp's approval.
Communication problems between SBAC and organizations and
complications scheduling meetings between Repp and the
committee caused last year's delay, McCarthy said.
McCarthy said he expects Repp to approve nine budgets this
weekend.
Many organizations are not aware of their budget proposal's
standing, he said. McCarthy said he has had problems reaching
organization representatives in their offices and homes to inform
them of their allocations.
Many representatives that have been contacted are from smaller
departmental groups, he said.
Student Government Association has not heard from McCarthy
about their budget request. SGA President Pam Weaver said.
After SGA officials hear about the group's budget allocation, the
funds will be placed in the organization's account. Weaver. Warren
senior, said. SGA submitted a budget request of $12,000. Weaver
said in an earlier interview.
Program Board Chairman Don MacLeod said the organization
has to submit a budget with the Office of Student Life. Because PB,
the student  entertainment organization,  is one of the largest
Pair of dean searches underway;
selection scheduled by summer

Although in different stages,
two separate searches should
result in two permanent University deans by next summer.
Acting Provost Janice Reynolds
said the application deadline for
dean of Health, Education and
Human Services candidates waa
Nov. 7. The search committee
organized to replace Douglas
Friedrich, former dean of the
school of Graduate Studies, will
meet for the first time today.
The HEHS Search Committee
Chairman Jerold Misner said the
12-member committee, formed
last winter to find a replacement
for retired dean William
Theunissen.   is   reading  support
material from each of the 75
candidates and will meet after
Thanksgiving to pare down the
number.
Misner, physical education and
sport department chairman, said
when it meets, the committee will
use a balloting process to determine which candidates will be
retained.
By mid-December. the
committee will narrow the candidates down to "probably 12 or
15. . .to get where we can investigate their credentials in greater
depth." Misner said.
This group eventually will be
narrowed down to three to five
candidates who will be recommended to Reynolds in early
February.
"(The committee) will forward
names to me for review. I would
make a decision, share it with
President Arthur Ellis, and make
a recommendation to the Board of
Trustees." Reynolds said.
Selecting a new dean during the
winter who will not begin until
July is not a problem. Reynolds
said.
"It's reasonable to expect people
would be selected the first half of
the winter semester. It gives them
ample time to wrap up (other
responsibilities'." she said.
Even with the search just beginning for a permanent graduate
dean, who would also fill the
position of associate vice provost
for research, Reynolds said there
is enough time to select someone
by July 1. She added it is easier for
people in the  academic field to
