Page 8 Lion's Eye September 27, 1979 DCCC Opens . . Finally Delaware County Community College (DCCC) officials made a final contract offer to members of the faculty last week. The new contract was accepted - by a close majority - and the four-week walkout was ended. The fall semester at the college, delayed since Sept. 4, began Wednesday, Sept. 19. According to a college spokesman, the new pact will give a flat $1,000 increase to instructors and $1,700 to full time professors this year. Next year they will get an 8 per cent increase, and the third year, the contract contains a wage reopening clause and the right to strike. A 48-hour sit-in which was planned by students at the campus was cancelled as a result of the settlement. According to a Student Government Association spokesperson, 6.500 letters were mailed to students asking them to participate in the protest, and to bring sleeping bags and games for the two- night sleepover in the main building. School officials had approved the protest. ‘The administration feels the students have a right to express their concern and would be allowed to do anything within reason to make their point,” a “school spokesman said at the time. The semester was scheduled to be cancelled if school did not start by Sept. 24. Trustees pointed out to students that they ap- proved a tuition and fee refund policy in June 1979 if a semester had to be canceled by the college's inability to provide one lasting 15 weeks.

Memphis State. Last year the Tigers were 4-7, their first losing season since coach Richard Williamson took over in 1975, ‘and this fall will seem like a replay of 1978.

Weaver of the Pennsylvania State Universi- ty says the reason many of today's college students can't write easily is that they don't learn it early enough. Weaver says teachers should start pupils writing in the second grade. “You have to start kids off writing things they read. You find good models for them, and they will fill copy books with writing, and this is one way to learn to write and spell. An hour or so daily devoted to this over a period of years will give children the confidence and ability to write," comments Weaver. Cat Scratch Fever Denton, Texas (AP) — Eight North Texas State University students, a campus policeman, and two area animal control officers are taking anti-rabies shots after being exposed to a rabid kitten. Campus officer Tom Newell said the rabid cat was one of two kit- tens that ran wild among about 50 lunar-eclipse spectators Sept. 6. “I know four students were scratched and one had an open wound exposed to the kitten's saliva,’ he said.
