·Master Tech Pact Now Ratified "Serving ·the_men who move the ear!h!" \ * * * 0 ENGINEERS· 'NEWS Union Gains Top PUBLISHED TO PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE OF ALL ENGINEERS AND THEIR FAMILIES • Wage Agreement GUAM, WHERE AMERICA'S DAY BEGINS HAWAII, THE 50T H STATE NORTHERN CAliFORNIA, THE GOLDEN STATE NORTHERN N EVADA, SILVER STATE UTAH. HEART OF THE ROCKIES One of the best Technical Engineer Master Agreements ever ne­ 1, ,.· gotiated went on the books this month following ratification by members of Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3, International Union of Vol. 27-No. 8 SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA ~® August, 1968 Operating Engineers, AFL-CIO. The new agreement will cover mem­ bers working in the forty-six Northern California counties and Northern Nevada. International Vice President and Local 3 Business Manager AI Clem said the new contract went into effect the 1st of August, 1968 and would expire on the 15th of June, 1971. Mr. Clem said he felt both signatories, Bay Counties Civil Engineers & Land Surveyors Associa­ tion, Inc. and the union, had worked hard to hammer out a, fair Master Agreement. "We are satisfied that this is a contract that both the union and the employer can live with," said Clem, "and our main objective now is to • advocate at every level of government and industry the need for non­ stop construction programs that will keep our .economy moving ahead and provide jobs for all our members." Local 3 President Paul Edgecombe worked diligently and on a very short deadline to gain current coverage for the city and county person­ nel working within the jurisdiction of the new technical agreement. Edgecombe's last minute efforts (he had twenty.minutes left for inclu­ sion of the new wages in the annual budget) gained a maximum increase in wages and fringes for some $950.00 annually. , · The new Master Agreement will provide a wage increase of approxi­ mately seven-a:nd-half percent (7J~ %) average per year plus sixty-five cents ($0.65) fringe benefits plus vacation pay, previously based on straight hour computation, will now be based on· gross annual earnings under the new agreement and can boost this f1inge benefit dramatically. For example: By the end of this contract a Party Chief with the reason­ able average of 100 hours oveltime would gain $298 of vacation pay •• more than in the previous contract. Other highlights of the Master Agreement include acceptance of the "test qualifying pl:()cedur!:t ratified. by the membership in February andoih:oviding pi·otection fbr the present labor pool. .2.07 NON-DISCRIMINATION.

    Florida Best & Brightest Scholarship ACT Information on ACT Percentile Rank In light of the recent Florida legislation related to Florida teacher scores on The ACT, in order to determine whether a Florida teacher scored “at or above the 80th percentile on The ACT based upon the percentile ranks in effect when the teacher took the assessment”, please refer to the following summary. 1. The best evidence is the original student score report received by the teacher 2. If a teacher needs a replacement score report, a. Those can be ordered either by contacting ACT Student Services at 319.337.1270 or by using the 2014-2015 ACT Additional Score Report (ASR) Request Form at http://www.actstudent.org/pdf/asrform.pdf . Reports for testing that occurred prior to September 2012 have a fee of $34.00 for normal processing and can be requested back to 1966. b. The percentile ranks provided on ASRs reflect current year norms, not the norms in effect at the time of testing. c. The following are the minimum composite scores that were “at or above the 80th percentile” at the time of testing based upon the best available historical norm information from ACT, Inc.’s archives. For the following test date ranges: • September, 2011 through August, 2016 : 26 • September, 1993 through August, 2011 : 25 • September, 1991 through August, 1993 : 24 • September, 1990 through August, 1991 : 25 • September, 1989 through August, 1990 : 24 • September, 1985 through August, 1989 : 25 • September, 1976 through August, 1985 : 24 • September, 1973 through August, 1976 : 25 • September, 1971 through August, 1973 : 24 • September, 1970 through August, 1971 : 25 • September, 1969 through August, 1970 : 24 • September, 1968 through August, 1969 : * • September, 1966 through August, 1968 : 25 *ACT, Inc.

Theseyoung men,none of whomwere sanitation workers,used the sticks to smash glass storefronts onboth sidesof the street. Looting ledto violent police retaliation.

All the weapons in the Soviet arsenal for exercising political control over a brother socialist state were employed at one time or another. The Soviet leadership emerges from the story as fallible in its tactics but certain in its objectives and unrelenting in pursuit of them. Moscow paid a political price in bringing Prague again to heel, but the price was almost certainly less than Moscow was prepared to pay. Analysts from the Office of Strategic Research, the Office of Current Intelligence, and the Central w Reference Service contributed to the study and the text has been coordinated with those components. The Sov/Eur Staff of the Office of National Estimates also reviewed the study and is in general agreement with it. The research analyst in charge was James Ogle. hn Kerry Ki W TOP\ CRET~ SUMMARY The story of Czechoslovakia in 1968 can be told from many perspectives~asit reflects on Soviet Politburo decision making and reaction to crisis, for the significance of.

CARLSON National Hurricane Research Laboratory, Environmental Research Laboratories, NOAA, Miami, Fla. ABSTRACT An analysis of sea-surface temperatures over the tropical Atlantic for the past 5 yr shows a correlation between the number of tropical storms formed between July 10 and September 20 and the ocean temperatures over a wide area centered near 10"N and 35OW. In a recent article by Carlson (1969) it was suggested subsequent tabulations will refer primarily to an area that the frequency of tropical storm formation from box located between 10" and 20"N and between 30" and African disturbances is dependent upon the sea-surface 40"W. temperatures over the tropical Atlantic west of the Table 1 is a version of the sea-temperature data for African Continent. Evidence in support of this included the past five Augusts (1965-1969), showing the area a comparison of the August 1968 sea-surface temperatures average and area maximum values over this box. The over the tropical North Atlantic with those of August years of data are listed from bottom to top in the table, 1966. The earlier year was one in which several African in order of the increasing number of African disturbances disturbances developed into tropical storms, whereas 1968 to develop into tropical storms or hurricanes in the was a notably inactive hurricane season.
