By John Chambers ADM INISTRAT ION ED ITOR

Faculty negotiations ended in a tentative agreement Thursday. "We're all exhausted," University Professionals of Illinois chief negotiator Charles Delman said after close to 14 hours of negotiations Wednesday and continued unmediated talks Thursday. Thlks with federal mediator Jerry Carmichael on Wednesday ended at 5 a.m. the next morning, and the meeting later that day was to continue discussion on final details, said UPI president David Radavlch. Both sides have agreed to not comment immediately on specifics of the contract, but there will be a scheduled meeting with the 450-500 union members next week to discuss the agreement, Delman said. The union executive committee has not set a date when balloting among union members will be conducted to rat­ Ify the new four-year contract. "A summary of the agreement is expected to be released in the near future. The agreement will be sub­ mitted to the faculty and Eastern's Board ofllustees for ratifications as soon as possible, • a university press release said Thursday. The union has identified the Issues of faculty and staff compensation, workload and online and distance educa­ tion as primary Issues In negotiations.

Although the watch was not a perfect match to the mark Retiree left on McNamara's arm, James Kreiser, a retired Illinois State Police crime lab analyst, said the mark definitely could have been made by the watch.
