A petition of 250 signatures was presented to representatives of building owner Alex Waskob, who is currently vacationing in Puerto Rico. "-fw 'The petition stated the “disgust and discontent (of the residents) concerning the conduct and politics of D & D.” The residents' suggested Waskob cancel his contract with D & D and appoint members of his own staff to take the responsibility of patrolling the lot. The major complaints of the residents were the methods of distribution' of parking tickets and the collection of fines. Residents charged that Dean Wagner, owner of D & D, and his workers “refuse to be reasonable.” They complained of being insulted, harrassed, and threatened on numerous occasions. After hearing of several accounts of resident abuse, councilman Allan Patterson of the safety.committee, said: “The safety committee will look ipto this if the matters are reported to the police:” i Patterson said if in the process of ticketing a car, “an officer uses profane or obscene language, physical violence, whether force or chemical mace, except Jim Rodden and Ray Domanski, one of to defend himself, the offended person the Park Hill residents, organized a list may and should report this incident to , of demands to be presented to Waskob, 7 the police.” • The demands called for the immediate “If a citizen is abused or assaulted, he ‘ termination of the existing contract with has every right "to have D“&D, the formation of a security force person arrested,” Patterson said. made up of Park Hill staff, the allocation Patterson_ urged residents who had of -a plainly marked visitors parking received abusive attacks to submit their area, and lines to be painted on the lot as complaints' in writing to the police, if soon as possible.

At several points during 'the evening, the meeting dissolved into a shouting match, as both the residents and management representatives tried to make themselves heard.

Both Misses Ozer and Fitterling said Wagner had followed Miss Fitterling out of her office, calling her a “nigger bitch.” Miss Fitterling commented, “Actually, I am Caucasian but I do have a dark complexion.” A Collegian reporter' yesterday con tacted three police officers, all of whom declined to comment on D and D\ Last year, Chief of Police Herbert Straley said the department had received numerous complaints about them.

M. Zelem said she will ap peal a recent decision by the Penn sylvania Labor Relations Board even if she must take her case to the'Supreme Court. ' - The PLRB has just reversed a decision originally favoring Ms. Zelem, a lab technician in the University’s Depart ment of Veterinary Science since 1966. The case centers around a contract negotiated between the University and the teamsters, effective July 1,1970. Ms. Zelem was told by both the union and the University she must pay the equivalent of union dues although not a member or lose her job. Believing the new contract to be un just, she embarked on her own “power struggle” case to the PLRB and won. In a 2-1 decision the-Board found the University and the union guilty of unfair labor practices and ordered the team sters to reimburse Ms. Zelem the s4o.she had paid in dues and initiation'fees. Last Jan. 10, the Teamsters filed an appeal with the board, and according to the board’s most recent decision, they won. ca mpi i s n ear autonomy amendment was passed with this revision. University President Oswald remarked “that the Capitol Campus is emerging as a first-rate institution, and whether or not it’s on the diploma wouldn’t make much difference.” ' In further business, theJSenate voted in favor of changing Rule F-l of Senate Policies and Rules for Undergraduate Students.

The initial decision favoring Ms. Zelem was based on Act 195, a provision of the new state Public Employe Relations Act. Section 904, as in terpreted by those voting in Ms. Zelem’s favor, states that an employe of an organization hired before Jan. 1, 1970 who was not required to join a union may not be forced to do so'after that date. .

Both Ms. Zelem and her attorney, Thomas E. Sterling attributed the board’s reversal to the views of the two new appointees of Gov. Shapp to the PLRB. One new member, Raymond Scheib, is an attorney who is reputed to be pro union. The other appointee, James H. Jones, is a retired union official of the United Steel Workers. In regard to the validity of- the reversed decision, Sterling said, “It is astounding to me. It certainly does seem inconsistent.” He said the unions are seeking to control labor by firing the very people they were established to student under 21 wishes to withdraw from the university, he must initiate withdrawal actions five business days before final dispensation of the action.
