Executive Council last night suggested

making public the facts surrounding an
accidental discharge of an officer's
pistol as he was preparing to hand it in.
The council indicated the University
had not done anything to punish Stormer
for what they considered improper
behavior. Organization for Town In

CLEVELAND (AP) City Council President George
L. Forbes offered a proposal yesterday to bail
Cleveland out of its short-term financial mess as layoffs
loomed for police and other public employees.
Meanwhile, two public employee unions went to court
in an attempt to avert the scheduled layoff Friday of 400
of the city's 10,000 public employees, including 275 of
Cleveland's 1,875 police. A third union considered
similar action.
Collegian ups distribution
More copies of The Daily Collegian are
now being distributed free on campus.
Beginning with its Jan. 3 issue, the
Collegian began printing an additional
2,000 copies, bringing its total circulation
to 20,000. One thousand of the additional
copies will be distributed to both the
HUB and Willard.
"One particular reason for increasing
circulation is to increase our service to
our readers and advertisers," Collegian
adviser Gerry Lynn Hamilton said.
Readership surveys have shown that
students can not be assured of obtaining
copies of the Collegian in the morning,
Hamilton said.
Cost of the additional copies will be

dependent Student President Glenn
Meyer said, "You make a mistake, you
pay for it."
Council agreed Stormer hadn't been
properly punished.
Meyer also said "one concern of mine
is that it (a cover up) won't happen
again."

Students President Jeff Glazier said the
gun incident occurred before any
guidelines had been set up for the
discharge of the guns. Now that the
guidelines have been set up, Glazier

Forbes' proposal would raise up to $l5 million in the
next 2 1 / 2 months for the embattled city through the
prepayment of property taxes by Cleveland businesses.
Forbes said he has the support of Gov. James A.
Rhodes, state legislators and the business community.
But the plan, which would require the approval of the
Ohio General Assembly, is in conflict with Mayor
Dennis J. Kucinich's stategy for lifting the city of
625,000 out of default.

Several council members also said
they were not happy about the ad
ministration's response to their request
for a public investigation. Instead of a
public investigation, the administration
set up an advisory board with student
representatives on it.
Goodwin said it seemed to him that the
advisory board merely was there "to
appease them."
Linda Williams, the assistant to the
student trustee, asked what another
advisory board would do. Meyer called

about changes the mall will bring, Kauhl

A representative of the Oxford Co. was

In other business, the commission
elected a new chairman, Thomas Pelick
of Ferguson Township.
"Rather than gamble on George's plan, we are going
to go ahead with the layoffs," said Andrew M.
Juniewicz, the mayor's news secretary.
Kucinich has said that unless the council approves the
sale of $5.2 million in city property, the layoffs would be
implemented. But he has said that as soon as revenue is
available, idled workers would be returned to their
jobs.
According to Edward Klevans,
chairman of the Intra-University
Relations Committee, "Over the last
decade the quality of the faculty at
the branch campuses has really
improved and as a result they want
more autonomy."
. Klevans said he
believed a centralized administration
was necessary.
