The last of three proposals
giving faculty a free choice, and
in most cases first choice, of off-
campus teaching assignments
was tentatively agreed to
Monday by CMU and Faculty
Association (FA) bargainer's.
The'teams came to terms
Monday on a FA counterproposal on courses taught
by the Institute for Personal and
Career Development (IPCD).
The IPCD proposal makes
teaching assignments in the
Institute voluntary for CMU
faculty and gives academic
departments the right to review
credentials of ail individuals
teaching IPCD courses.
It also allows CMU faculty to
indicate interest in teaching for
IPCD by sending their
credentials to their department
and ,the IPCD. The Institute
would then consider, these
credentials when filling teaching
assignments.
However, the proposal does
not assure CMU faculty first
choice of IPCD assignments as
the FA had wanted it to.
When the FA presented its
proposal early in the session,
negotiator William Hawkins told
CMU one of his team's main
concerns was that preference be
given to bargaining unit
members in the assignment of
IPCD courses.
CMU wanted only the principle of preference for CMU
faculty to be contractualized so
that, among other reasons, it
would not be "hammered with
grievances," University Attorney J. David Kerr said.
"It's rare that somebody
wants to teach for the Institute
and doesn't get to," chief CMU
negotiator John Weatherford
said during a break in
bargaining.
"It's not a question of the
Institute not wanting faculty;
it's just that we didn't want to
be tied down to giving local
faculty first choice every time,"
he said.
Weatherford said the IPCD is
like a private enterprise* and
that "unless it moves fast to fill
teaching assignments, it dies."
The FA wanted to know why
preference could be assured for
courses taught by the School of
Continuing Education and
Community Services arid not
IPCD.
"Continuing Education is a
delivery of on-campus programs
off-campus," Kerr said. "The
IPCD is a degree-granting institution which delivers its own

Department  of Public  Safety
(DPS) said Tuesday.
Total damage was estimated
near $900 by a University official and a representative from
General Telephone'Co.
DPS Det. Sgt. Les Bonstelle
said the perpetrators apparently were trying to steal
something of value from the
concession stands. Paper
products and soft drinks were-
the only items in the stands.
The perpetrators took an
unknown amount of money from
the telephone.

The two, roll-up windows on .

Physical Plant director, said.
Long estimated damage to the
windows at $500.
DPS Officer Ronald Griffiths,
who answered the damage
complaint,   said   the   vandals
apparently attempted to pry
open the windows, causing the
damage.
The only window pried open
far enough for a person to enter
was on the southeast end of the
stadium, Long said.
A pay phone located along the
concession stand on the west
side of the stadium was
demolished and thrown into a
nearby dumpster, Griffiths said.
A General Telephone Co.
representative said the phone
was worth between $325 and
$400.

The extinct |sraeli village of
Tel Michal may hold the key to
an Unsolved puzzle about ancient civilization - and Frederik
Brandfon is trying to find thai
key.
For the past five years,
Brandfon and his wife Jane* have
been digging and sifting out
artifacts with a joint Israeli-
American archeological team.
The Brandfons, who share the
position and salary of one
temporary instructor of religion
at CMU, spent recent summers
at various digging sites in Israel,
working through Tel-Aviv
University,
Brandfon is searching for
indications of the main event
which marked the end of the
Bronze Age. '
He believes Tel Michal was
the site of one of a series of
fortressess on the Israeli coast
and had a tremendous amount of
trade at times. If a disaster had
occurred in a,nearby country,
that port also would have felt
the impact, he said,
"For the Bronze Age to end,
there must have been a series of
catastrophes,," he explained.
"We hope to find evidence of
that castastrophe at the sites;"
Last summer was the most
exciting, Brandfon said, as the
foundations of a seaport city and
significant remnants of various'
cultures were uncovered.
"We discovered & port city
which was occupied between the
early Bronze Age to early
Islamic times, which was. about
the years 3000 B.C. to 800 A.D.,"
he said. "We have only pieces 0
go on* hut soifle of the finds were
veryexcitiiig.'*
Some of the more notable
finds were silver pieces dating
back to an Egyptian king, a
Persian seal going back to 400
B.C. and pieces of pottery and
gambling beads used by the
Israelites in biblical times, he
said.
Uncovering evidence of
humans from distant
generations is a unique sensation, Brandfon said.
"Some of this stuff hasn't seen.
light in 3,000 years," he said.
"Archeologists are taught not to
show much excitement, but
wheri a student uncovers
something, I can't help myself."
Brandfon said he supervises
20 American students on the
project.
Currently Mrs. Brandfon
teaches a class in religions of
various cultures, white Brand-
fon's half of the instructor's
position   includes   teaching   a
course on witchcraft and the
occult.
"I personally don't know
anything about archeology," she
said. "I work with Fred because
I wanted to be part of the excavation.
"It's a real challenge to make
sure the showers are working,"
she said joking. "In this
situation, Fred's the brain and
I'm the brawn."
"Archeologists tire taught not to show much excitement, but when a student uncovers something, I
can't help myself', said Frederick Brandfon about the archeological expeditions in Israel in which
Brandfon and his wife Jane participated. The Brandfons share a temporary instructor of religion
position at CMU (LIFE photo by Mike Thoraby).    . ~ ,
