To p industry executives promised to study the proposal. Their answer is to be made known to the union here late today. An industry counteroffer would surprise nobody, since the union proposal for ending the 94-day strike reportedly left unsatisfied the management demand for more freedom in changing work prac tices to achieve manpower econo mies. Highly placed sources said the union proposal contem plated a 21-cent-an-hour in crease for the workers over a two-year period. This would include no wage boost but substantial insurance, pension and supplement unem ployment benefits during the first year, plus a sizable pay hike of about 10 cents an hour in the sec ond year. This amounted to roughly 10 cents an hour extra a year in contrast to the earlier union de mane for approximately 15, cents an hour additional each year. Be fore the strike began, steelwork ers averaged $3.11 an hour. Lewis 'Divorce' Satire To Be Staged Monday The United Student"Tellolrship will present C. S.

Terrier coach Steve Sinko looks for a real good ball game this afternoon. "This is the best State team I've ever seen, but our boys will play a good game and I'm sure they'll give a good account of themselves," Smko said yesterday afternoon after watching his team go through a practice ses sion on Beaver Field.

"Last season they were more of a ball control team but this year they've got a powerful passing attack and a terrific running game. "But I think my squad has definitely improved and their win over West Virginia last weekend shows it," said the amiable Ter rier coach. Sinko plans to start a team composed of ten lettermen and a top sophomore prospect against the Nittanies today. Heading the list of Terrier let termen are end Gene Prebola, halfback Paul Cancro and quar terback Emo DiNitto. Prebola is BU's top candidate for All-Ar4!erican honors this year.
