The administration is expected
to seek a strike-halting cqurt in
junction early next week in the
event industry-union negotiations
collapsed or became deadlocked
again over the weekend.
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.

Phi Kappa Tau won third place
with an "electronic" display dem
onstrating how students may get
their degrees in the machine age
of the future.
A Nittany Lion stood beside
a pledged powered "IBM ma

small slot for depositing the

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
