FRIDAY
Life is often charactcrijcd by misunderstanding -- misunderstanding
between race*, between people and between generations.    Perhaps now
norc than at any previous time in our history, we need to pursue with
renewed vigor that elusive atmosphere of understanding and compassion
for one another in all  that we do.
On Friday, "lay :,   1<17£, Central Michigan MFH,  in cooperation with
other student and university groups on campus,  is sponsoring a special
Jay which seeks to renew and  refresh the kinship that binds us,  one
to another.
Therefore,  I, 1','illiam C.  Milliken,  Governor of the S.tatc of Michigan,
urge all nenbers of the Central Michigan University community to join
inappropriate observance of this day and to actively participate in
efforts designed to promote goodwill between faculty*,  students and the
aJninistration.
Riven under ny hand on this twenty-ninth

Students not included
Bargaining starts today
by STEVE MORSE
LIFE Managing Editor
No students will be present
today when the University and
Faculty Association (FA) meet to
reopen wage and fringe benefit
contract negotiations in the
President's Council Room at 3 p.m.
However, the bargaining teams
are expected to discuss the matter as
part of the session, which will
establish ground rules for the
negotiations.
More than two weeks ago
Student Body President Bill Pilchak
proposed one student sit on each side
of the bargaining table and act in an
advisory capacity. With this kind of
participation, Pilchak (in a letter to
both parties) said, students would
have the opportunity "to address
those issues that involve them."
HOWEVER, NEITHER
University nor FA officials have
commented on the matter other than
to say they expect it to be a topic of
discussion.
When contacted early Thursday
afternoon, President William B.
Boyd refused to comment on the
University's position on student
involvement in bargaining, although
he acknowledged there has been
discussion on the matter.
Neil Bucklew, vice president for
administration, said Thursday he
would not comment on student
involvement until he had discussed it
with the union and conferred
"adequately" with members of the
administration.
Although he said he has
discussed it with Boyd, Bucklew, the
Registration
ends today
Today is the last day for advanced registration for Fall
• semester, 1975. Any student who
has not registered yet may do so in
the University Center Ballroom until
3 p.m. Students failing to register
will be required to participate in
Delayed. Registration Aug. 22 or 23
or in Late Registration, Aug. 25
through 28.
The probability of increased
enrollment for next year makes
Advanced Registration even more
important now than in the past,
William Dunham.associate registrar,
said.
University's chief negotiator, indicated he would be talking more
with the president before formulating any hard stand on the
issue.
He also said he expected it to be
discussed today.
IN LIKE MANNER, James E.
Hayes,, chairperson of .the union
bargaining team, believed the
matter should be discussed with the
administration before the FA
reached a position. "That matter will
probably be discussed at the first
session establishing negotiating
procedures," Hayes said.
Before Thursday, Hayes had
discussed student involvement with
Pilchak, but neither have revealed

the outcome of that discussion.
Pilchak had planned to contact
Hayes Thursday about the matter,
but was unable to reach him. And
according to Pilchak, no one from the
administration nor the FA has
contacted him about student involvement.
In his original letter, Pilchak
pointed to arrangements in Montana
and Massachussetts, which allow
students in the bargaining
processes. Considering issues entering the* realm of collective
bargaining presently, he believes
there is "justification" for student
participation.
ACCORDING TO his letter,
however, Pilchak said the student
role would be limited because he or
she would be able to discuss the
"impact and ramifications" of certain
provisions which neglected the
needs and interests of the students.
As stipulated in the current
faculty contract, negotiations may be
reopened during the spring of each
year during the three-year
agreement upon request of either
party. However, bargaining is
restricted to wages and fringe
benefits during these annual
reopening sessions, unless otherwise
agreed upon by the two parties.
The first negotiating session
will be Used to set ground rules,
including when bargaining will take
place among other items.
