Town meeting
draws support
Citizens of Mt. Pleasant gathered Saturday to reflect upon the
city's past, present and future at a Bicentennial Town Meeting

answers to today's problems. *
Sessions were conducted to discuss current issues including
taxation, pollution, sewage control, public participation in government,
local communication, information dessemination and problems'of the
elderly.
The results of the seminars were put together into a booklet which
outlines proposed solutions and topics of concern by those participating
in the meeting. '. '     -
More than 250 citizens participated in the day-long series of
events, which also included performances by-the Isabella County
Senior Citizens Kitchen Band* the Mt. Pleasant Community Players
and the Institute of Cultural Affairs.
According to several of the meeting's organizers, the event was a
"smashing success" and plans include to continue the meetings on an
annual basis'. Discussion of Mt. Pleasant's past, they said, has helped to
identify future problems and concerns.
Student bargaining ok'd
University develops propose
by PAM KLEIN
UFE Ass't. News Editor
The University has formulated a
proposal for student participation in
collectitfe bargaining and will-
present it to the Faculty Association
(FA) and Student Association
representatives when contract
negotiations begin.
John Weatherford, chairperson,
of the administration's bargaining
team, said the first meeting between
the three parties probably would be
conducted May 21. At this
"housekeeping meeting" the three
groups would refine their proposals
and attempt to reach an agreement,
he added.
WEATHERFORD, director of
'libraries,   said   the   University
proposal essentially is the same as
tha,t   submitted   by   the   Student
Association, "What, we've basically
done is tighten up some of the
wordingr" he said.
Weatherford said the. wording
changes affected points number one
and seven in the two proposals,
Point one of the Student
Association proposal called for
representatives of the FA and
University bargaining teams to meet
with & small committee of students
to discuss the bargaining process, he
said. :
Weatherford said the administration's revision of that point
called for the persons on the student
committee to be the same
throughout negotiations, because
"continued participation by each
student is dependent on that
student's   continual   participation."
"We didn't want to start with a
new person unfamiliar With, the

201 people presently are CMU faculty members, while the remainder'have
since left teaching at the University.
WEILER said the specific people named in the Suits would first be
served with summons to appear in court, then those listed as "others in the
same situation" would be served. He said the summons would be served "as
soon as possible" but declined to give any set date.
"George Stengren, brie of those named in the suits, said he received a
summons Saturday, giving him 20 days to respond to the charges. After that
time the suits will go before Circuit Court Judge Paul O'Connell.
Stengren, professor of philosophy, said the summons was served by a
plain-clothes deputy sheriff. "I'm delighted to be sued; by the same people
who sued Katherine Ux," he said, "I take it asquite an honor to be put in the
same category as her." ,
STENGREN said six other people were named in the suits. He said
they, were' Robert Anthony, professor of business and administration;
Robert Croll* associate professor of business and administration; Darius
Conger, assistant professor of economics; John Mitchell, instructor in
business- and administration; Mary Obuchowski, assistant professor of
English; and Harold Zeoli, professor of mathematics.' .    /
>  Earlier Hayes had said six people would be named in the suits instead of
seven and. Mitchell, Zeoli and Stengren were not included in the orginal six.
The original six to he named included Anthony, Croll, Conger, Obuchowski,
. Dennis Alexander, temporary assistant instructor in physical education; and
' Clara Lee Moodie, assistant professor of English.
■ Hayes said hfe was not sure why some of the original names were
changed or why seven instead of six people were named. "The lawyer is the
clearing house for these suits, so I really can't tell you the reasons," he said.
Weiler said he would not comment on the change of names until he
spoke to Hayes.
through the negotiations,"
Weatherford said, "That's why we
called for the same students to serve
on the committee throughout
negotiations."
• The other change in point seven
"clarifies the length of student
participation," Weatherford said. He
aaid the Student Association
proposal called for the bargaining
agreement to remain in effect "until
a .contract-has been ratified by the
faculty bargaining unit for the 1976-
7f academic year/'
THE. ADMINISTRATION'S
revision of the point toil! allow
participation to remain in effect
"during 1976 until a contract has
been ratified by the (faculty
bargaining agent." Weatherford said
this will allow the agreement to
carry on until ratification, whether
that' ratification occurs during th&.
academic year or not. "■'■.'
The other points of the
University's proposal remain
basically the same as those submitted by the Student Association,
Weatherford said. He said students
still would submit a series of position
papers on bargaining issues, provide
those papers to representatives of
the FA and University bargaining
teams, meet with representatives
from each team to discuss progress
of the negotiations and have the
right to view all official and supporting documents pertaining to the
negotiations.
