said only a negotiating committee
was formed, which produced no con
crete results.
Because this strike was so close to
the end of the term, Hinson said
universtiy officials were more willing
to have a bargaining session. A 24-
hour bargaining session between the
university and the student group pro
duced, among other results, a $l,OOO
base stipend increase and a subsidy
and space for day care.
Hinson said overall the strike has
produced positive results.
“We still have grievances, but I feel
that the administration is more in
clined to listen to us and include us
more than they did before,” Hinson
said. “The strike was also a success

The rest will remain at Oakdale,
where they will reside in four unda

more than 40 other federal lockups

At Sacred Heart Church, where
families of the hostages had been
keeping vigil, relatives began
screaming and crying as they
watched a closed-circuit television
picture of the captives being re
leased.
When the bus carrying the hostages
to the hospital passed by the church,
many of the relatives ran out of the
church, jumped ditches on the side of
the road and started following it.
Ron Thompson of Mobile, Ala.,
began screaming the name of his twin
brother Donald, when he caught sight
of him getting off the bus. “Oh, God!
Thank you!,” he yelled four times
before breaking down crying.
Inmates initially had said, by post
ing banners, that they wanted to see
Roman in person. Inmates had asked
that Roman be allowed to participate
in negotiations, but federal authori
ties rejected the proposal.
Roman’s taped message was shown
to inmates on closed-circuit television
sets set up around the perimeter of
the 40-acre detention center, said
Mark Sheehan of the Justice Depart
ment.
“The past will end and the future
will begin,” Roman told the inmates.
“Sign the document. You can be sure
that what you will have done is good.' ’
Negotiations continued yesterday
with Cubans prisoners in Atlanta.
Authorities reported some hopeful
signs but said there was little
movement.
Federal authorities said they might
ask Roman to make a similar appeal
to the Atlanta inmates.

dialogue on campus.”
Robert Lichter, vice provost for
Research and Graduate Studies at
Stony Brook, said he was not sure if
the strike had improved communica
tion between students and the admin
istration.
But he said, “It’s vitally important
on any issue that avenues of commu
nication remain open so strikes are
not necessary. I think we have moved
substantially in that direction.”
“The willingness must exist on both
sides to discuss any issues, so people
do not go off in mistaken directions,”
he said. "In my experience, that has
been the case. Students have been
willing to communicate (griev
ances)."

But all graduate assistants at the
University of Florida have union fees
deducted from their salaries and the
contract negotiated by the union also
applies to non-union members.
The union negotiates for student
interests each year with the Board of

Regents is a 10-person committee

Asked if the junta's decree amounted
to a coup, he responded, “The coup
was this morning,” referring to the
violence at the polling places.
In Washington, the State Depart

cutting off all non-humanitarian aid
to Haiti and would remove all of its

The electoral council canceled the
elections less than three hours after
the polls opened at 6 a.m.

From Saturday night into yester

But the gunmen began disappearing
after the election was canceled and
by midmorning the streets were de

Lichter said the base minimum
stipend has been raised this semester
at Stony Brook, and will be further
increased in Spring Semester 1988.
Hinson said graduate assistants at
Stony Brook are now concentrating
on forming a union for graduate stu
dents.
Graduate students at Syracuse Uni

over wages and class size, said Jo

Syracuse’s School of Information
Studies.
He said the strike resulted in grad

imum stipend level. Presently at
Syracuse, no graduate assistant re

Joann Campbell, coordinator in the
Office of Human Resources for the

Board of Regents and Graduate As

“Certain articles mutually agreed
upon, such as salaries and tuition fee
waivers, are negotiated each year,"
she said. “But the whole contract is
open for negotiation only every two or
three years.”
