Schoenman said the worst reports he heard in Najafabad came from the hospital, where "doctors told us that Savak agents kept storming the wards, cutting tubes giving the wounded in travenous feedings and dragging the wounded away." He quoted the doctors as saying police told the arrested wounded, "We didn't shoot you so you could live. We shot you so you would die, and you will die." "Najafabad is a little town of about 15,000 people," Schoenman said. "Last week at least 100 people died there and more than 1,000 were wounded or are simply missing."

Borough tree surgeon Jim Evans said, "We've had a lot of problems with the damaging of trees. They are susceptible to damage from pedestrians ripping branches off." Tree vandalism is not a seasonal occurance. It is a problem that exists year round. Two weeks ago, five trees were ruined on Calder Way. Branches were ripped off and one tree was destroyed completely. "There was one instance where someone had broken a tree five inches in diameter," Evans said, "and I have replaced one tree four times this year." , In business areas, where there is a good deal of pedestrian traffic, new trees have a hard time trying to survive. "The area that gives us more trouble•than anywhere else is the 100 block of East Beaver Avenue," said Evans. Evans said that most of the damage is done late at night, making it difficult to catch the vandals, and that the amount of damage increases on weekends and nights after a . big CATA to begin managerial internship The Centre Area Transportation Authority agreed to begin a managerial internship program at its Dec. 15 meeting.

The government said most of the 67,000 workers returned to their posts in the oil fields and' refineries across Iran yesterday and production rose to 2.2 million barrels still far short of the nation's norm of 5.9 million barrels a day.

No other bids for the bus were made. The board also agreed to accept bids University about possible rate hike The University is not too concerned about the recent request by West Penn Power for a 19.5 percent rate increase from the Public Utilities Commission, Vice President for Business Ralph Zilly said. Zilly said that he does not think West Penn will receive the full in crease and that the University has "nothing unusual" in the way of energy conservation planned. Zilly said the University's ongoing con servation program under J. Carroll Dean has already improved the ef ficiency of the University's heating system. "We're already doing all we can," Dean said. "As each week goes by, we get better," Dean said. Zilly said the conservation 'issue Worker involvement is studied WASHINGTON (UPI) A new study concludes that productivity increases as much as one third when employees are involved in management or ownership of the place where they work. The study, released Saturday by Worldwatch Institute researcher Bruce Stokes, examined worker participation experiments in both Europe and the United States. It said the experiments usually lead to better economic per formance, more cooperative labor management relations and an improved work life. "The traditional tools of economic mananagement stand impotent in the The Daily Collegian Monday, Dec. 18, 1978- celebration. "Last year after graduation three trees were snapped off on Hpister Street," Evans said. Up until now, four stakes and string surrounding new trees were their only protection. "We don't like the idea of putting cages around trees to protect them," Evans said, "we are trying to discourage vandals by planting bigger, stronger trees in high use areas." Idgrid Holtzman, municipal council president, said she sees tree vandalism as a major problem, but believes there is no practical solution. "We can't put a foot patrol at every tree, in the borough," she said. "I find it so strange that there are people whose sense of right and wrong lets them do this sort of thing." Carl B. Fairbanks, manager of the borough, said "Of all the acts of vandalism, this is one that troubles us the most. Trees are an irreplacable commodity. They take a while to grow, and once damaged, we lose a year or a lot of money." A case is scheduled to appear before the district magistrate involving an instance of tree vandalism that occured in late September of this year. Fairbanks said he hopes the magistrate will deal with this case carefully. "This is a serious and severe act, and it should not be treated lightly." unconcerned West Penn Public Relations Director Bob Van Atta said approval of the 19.5 percent increase by the PUC is unlikely considering recent rate requests. In 1974 West Penn received a 4.9 percent increase from the PUC in response to a 12.3 percent request, and in 1976 it received a 3.8 percent increase in response to a 16.8 percent request. face of worker alienation and growing economic stress," Stokes said. "An adversary relationship between labor and management only seems to aggravate this situation. New actors and new forms of management and ownership are needed." Stokes said more than 1,000 U.S. firms have some form of employee ownership. He said government should be ready to financially aid worker participation experiments "because these are public investments in improving the quality of work life, job preservation and the revitalization of local economies." for up to three more buses. CATA will advertise for the buses in January. In other business, Collins proposed that a bus sign be placed at Park Hill on the corner of Aaron Drive for those who want to ride the W bus.
