TYSON CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 per week. This approximates to $160 per month for premium insurance and $108 for the basic family plan. Tyson said that the increase is necessary to cover skyrocketing health care prices and that Tyson would be paying the remaining $540 per month for a premium family insurance package. During contract negotiations, the United Food and Commercial Workers local 538 (UFCW), alleged that Tyson was engaging in unfair labor practices said Ed Nichol son, a Tyson representative. The National Labor Relations Board found that the company bar gained in good faith. "This is not something the company wanted," said Nicholson. "We have 110,000 team members and this is the only union contract that we have not reached an agree ment on since Tyson purchased IBP." IBP is the company that was housed at the Jefferson plant before Tyson purchased it. Tyson has 55 union contracts in 27 states, with Jefferson being the only contract that has not been settled. "We have a number of stake holders and must make sure the company delivers on the promis Post photo by Mackenzie Renner es of those stake holders," said The Student Senate discusses a resolution to support Tyson's striking workforce.

A bulk of the games will be moved to downtown at the US Cellular Arena with some games still to be played at the Klotsche Center. Last year at the US Cellular Arena, the Panthers drew a record 10,115 fans for the Horizon League champi onship game against Butler. The regular season will begin on Saturday, Nov. 22 against Big Sky conference favorite Montana. The following week, the Panthers will host the Salukis of Southern Illinois at the US Cel lular Arena, who they lost to in the ESPN Bracket Buster game, 66-64 in Carbondale, 111. Then, the Panthers will embark on four-game road trip with a visit to Houston to take on SWAC regular season champion Prairie View A&M. The road trip will conclude with trips to North Carolina State, Valparaiso and Wisconsin. The conference schedule will begin on Dec. 23 as the hated Illinois-Chicago Flames come to town. Illinois-Chicago returns their entire starting line-up from a year ago and is an early favorite to take the league title. The league tournament championship will have the same format as last season, but this time it will be Butler with the opportunity to host the big games in Indianapolis. The league tournament will be held March 6-9. —Nick Dettmann VOLLEYBALL In a thriller against cross-town rival Marquette, the Universi ty of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women's volleyball team came out on top in a five-game series that went back and forth until the end. The Panthers (11-3) claimed their sixth consecutive victo ry against the Golden Eagles (3-11), 30-28, 28-30, 30-23, 27-30, 15-11 at the Klotsche Center. Sarah Potts led the way by scoring a career-high 24 kills to go along with her 16 digs to give her a double-double. Karen Fruit followed closely as she recorded 18 kills and 21 digs, while Rachel Kuebbing scored 12 kills and Larissa Cattanach had 11. Once again, Lindsey Spoden created much of the offense by recording 64 assists to go along with nine digs. In a game where there were 36 ties and 17 lead changes, the Panthers proved to be the better team in the narrow victory. With the win, they look to hold strong at first place in the Hori zon League as they start conference play.

The Panthers jumped out to a 10-7 lead in the final game, before going on a 6-0 run to cause Cleveland State to call a time-out.

The goal came on the assist from Evann Franklin in the 96th minute. The win improves the Panthers to 2-5-1 and made it their second win in a row. The Panthers did not allow a goal in the first period for the fifth straight game, but the story of the game was the offense. Coming into the game, the Panthers had scored only one goal the entire season. In this game, they scored three. Ginny Graczyk and Evann Franklin both scored goals in the first period to give the Panthers a 2-0 halftime lead. The Golden Eagles dominated the second-period scoring goals in the 47th and 59th minutes on Panther goalie Molly Schneider, but Schneider had a nice save with 44 seconds left in the game to force the extra frame. The win ties the all-time series between the two teams at 4-4-3, but it was the first UWM victory over Marquette since 1998. —Mike Wirkus Brewers improving By Ryan Julson National League leaders in Staff Writer these departments.
