Representatives of the University and Teamsters Local 8 announced
yesterday that a tentative agreement has been reached on a new three-year
contract.
Union President Earl W. Lutz said the proposed contract is a very good one
"It's the best contract this union has ever obtained," Lutz said.
The tentative agreement includes a wage package that will increase union
members' wages 30 percent by July 1983, Lutz said.
The proposed contract also "corrects problems in the University that have
been nagging the union for years," Lutz said.

LONDON (AP) Two leaders of a
60-nation association of air
controllers' unions said yesterday
their members have been asked to
consider refusing to serve U.S.-
registered aircraft and to stop
clearing 'any planes on flights to the
United States.
Ted Bradshaw, one of five board
members of the International
Federation of Air Traffic Controller
Associations, issued a statement in
London calling on unions in member
nations to "consider refusing air
traffic control services to U.S.-
registered airplanes."
In Edmonton, Canada, federkion
president Harri Henschler said the
group also is asking member
associations not to clear planes of
any nationality across U.S. borders

The Italian controllers' union said
its members would stage a "work

regulations even if they slow down
the system, to "underline their
opposition to the unjustifiable
actions of the American government
and their support of the right to
strike."
The action, which began
yesterday afternoon, had no
immediate effect on Italy's air
traffic.
British air traffic controllers
reacted angrily to the firing of their
striking colleagues in the United
States and one union official said the
British controllers would carefully
consider any request for support
from the U.S. controllers. "We are
entirely behind them in this
dispute." There was no indication of
what form the support could take.
Call for peace sounds
745-mile

PARIS (AP) Miles-long lines of marchers converged
in Paris yesterday, joining thousands of Hiroshima
anniversary observers worldwide in protesting the spread
of nuclear arms.
Many of the estimated 10,000 who paced themselves to a'
slow drum beat under rain-darkened skies had started the
"March for Peace" in Copenhagen on June 22 and carried
their message across five countries a 745-mile route.
As bystanders applauded and cheered the procession,
the marchers carried roses and banners calling for
nuclear disarmament and sang out "Vive La Paix!"
"Long Live Peace!"
In cities across the United States, nuclear weaponry
opponents marked the 36th anniversary of the Aug. 6, 1945,
atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan, with marches, sit
ins, pray-ins and other activities.
About 40,000 people gathered at Hiroshima's Peace
Memorial Park in Japan to send burning candles afloat in
the Motoyasu River and watch the release of 1,500 doves,
symbols of peace.

He would not comment further about the problems.
Lutz said the union and the University have also reached an agreement on the
status of "non-regular, employees" students.
"The University now knows that the union never had any intention of going
after student jobs," Lutz said.'
Bargaining had been delayed because both the union and the University had
filed unfair labor practice charges.
The union filed its charge because the University refused to release
information on the number of students employed at the University their
hours or their jobs.
The union refused to negotiate until the University released the information

The stri

WASHINGTON (AP) Ignoring widening
rumbles 'from big labor, the Reagan
administration continued to fire illegally
striking air controllers yesterday as their
union declared the government could "put our
people in shackles and put them in jail we
will not go back to work."
With about three-quarters of the nation's
scheduled flights operating normally in all but
the 22 largest airports, White House
spokesman David Gergen said officials were
sending out notices of dismissal "as rapidly as
they administratively can."
As far as President Reagan was concerned,
said Gergen,,"this is Day One of rebuilding
the system"' without the strikers. 'The
administration has said that process could
take as long as two years.
The biggest airports still were limited to
half their normal traffic.
Outside of Miami's regional control center, a large group of air traffic controllers walks the line yesterday. Strikers were joined by family
members in the third day of picketing.
Prime Minister Zenko Suiuki reiterated Japan's pledge
never to make, keep or introduce nuclear weapons, saying,
"As the only nation which has suffered the conflagration of
nuclear weapons, there is no limit to our rage toward
nuclear war."
The U.S. bombing marked the first use of atomic
weapons in warfare, and was followed three days later by
the bombing of Nagasaki. It is estimated that 100,178
people died in the attacks and yesterday, the names of
2,757 Hiroshima victims who died in the past year of
radiation-related diseases were added to the roll of the
dead.
Vatican Radio, in a special anniversary program,
decried the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
"Since that long-ago August of 1945, already forgotten by
many, the situation has become more critical," Vatican
Radio said. "Thanks to a vast technology aimed at
destroying humanity, the nuclear weapons of today make
the ones used 36 years ago seem like harmless toys:"
The broadcast, without naming specific countries, said,
"The number of countries with these tools of death has
increased."

The University counterfiled in May to protest the union's refusal to negotiate.
Lutz said the University has released some information on its student
employment. It is going to release more information about the students at a
later date, he said.
University Director of Personnel James M. Elliott said the University had
agreed not to comment on the tentative agreement while the union was
informing its members about the proposed contract.
"We can't afford to say anything about it 'iow," Elliott said.
Lutz said he expects the union to pass the tentative contract by a large
majority. No date has been set for a ratification vote, he said.
James A. Yute, dining hall supervisor, said union employees in the dining
halls knew very little about the agreement because it is tentative.
ke goes on
administration still
Meanwhile, the 15-million-member AFL
CIO and a host of other unions rallied to the
support of more than 12,000 strikers and their
union, the Professional Air Traffic Controllers
Organization. And the International
Association of Machinists and Aerospace
Workers flirted with the idea of keeping its
approximately 90,000 airport workers off the
job. They are the men and women who keep
much of the commercial fleet refueled and in
working order.
However, Larry Rubin, a spokesman for the
1-million-member Machinists Union, said no
decision has been made.
"We have not received a request yet from
PATCO to give them any aid at all," he said
However, at late afternoon, PATCO sent a.
telegram to all AFL-CIO affiliates, asking
them to "publicly join our fight. Please
request your members to honor our picket
lines."

Outdoor pool may

As summer draws to a close, construction has begun on the
University's outdoor pool. And barring a - siege of bad weather, the
pool should be opened by Sept. 1, said William L. Hetrick, director
of the Office of Physical Plant Administration.
"We're shooting for Sept. 1," Hetrick said. "That looks fairly
good."
But Mary Dunkle, director of the news, bureau of the University
Office of Public Information, said, "As far as I know, it's just a
possibility."
The concrete surrounding the perimeter of the pool and
connected to its sides has been eroded over the years by moisture
that froze during the winter, Hetrick said.
Each year the University has done patchwork repairs on the
concrete, but this year the damage was too extensive for the basic
repairs, he said.
"Patchwork just wasn't going to make it this year," Hetrick said.
Funding for repairs, which Hetrick estimated will cost just under
$lOO,OOO, will come from the Office of Gifts and Endowments
through private contributions, Dunkle said.
She said the bid for the project was awarded to G.M. McCrossin
Inc., Bellefonte.

federation supports the strike but is leaving it
to member unions whether to honor picket
lines set up by the controllers.
"It's all very well to be a midnight-gin
militant, to stand up and call for general
strikes," he•said. But Kirkland added that
member unions will have to make their own
decisions.
"I am not going to make that appraisal,"
said Kirkland, who marched with picketing
controllers at Chicago's O'Hare International
Airport on Wednesday.
Several other labor organizations, including
the American Federation of Government
Employees, United Mine Workers, and
Bricklayers Union assailed the
administration for its handling of the strike.
FAA Administrator Lynn J. Helms said 75
percent of the regularly scheduled air traffic
'is flying and he said he is freezing the level of
operations at the present level until Sept. 8.
