University. Emerald Murphy, AUCE local 1 president, said the two sides met Thursday for their seventeenth negotiating session and "nothing important has come up yet." She said AUCE's first contract was negotiated in 32 sessions last year. "So far in 17 sessions we've discussed bulletin boards and getting off work for jury duty," Murphy said. "One wage offer was made and it's pretty good as a starting point for further negotiations, but it barely covers the current cost of living and makes no provision for the future." Murphy said that she personally feels wages are not the main issue in the negotiations. "Current negotiations are going badly because of the ad ministration's philosophy. They are interested in management rights and want to control everything," she said. "They feel a clerical worker is not responsible for her own job, and is not capable of making decisions." The important issues, according to Murphy, are vacations, union security and a restructuring of the wage schedule. In last year's contract, AUCE members won three weeks vacation after one year of work and five weeks after eight years. The administration says it now wants to cut vacations to two tfc • ill ^^m-m weeks after one year of work, and —doug field photo —matt king photo to five weeks after 12 years to bring STICKS AND STONES may break bones but they are also very handy sapling — honoring former administration president.

Some expectation. There hasn't been a peep, publicly at least, demanding ft***?.. any type of look into the appointments of new veeps Charles "Chuck" Connaghan and Michael Shaw. Both Shaw and Connaghan sat on a committee appointed by the board of governors and senate to help select veeps for academic development and faculty and student services. After candidates had submitted their names, Shaw decided to resign from the committee and toss his name into the hat. Could it be that having seen the names he thought he had a good chance and quit? Or did administration president Doug Kenny, the committee chairman, eye the names and, not liking what he saw, ask Shaw to join the contest? Then, after Shaw was picked, Connaghan got a piece of the action when Kenny appointed him veep for non-academic affairs. There should be an independent inquiry into the series of events surrounding the selection process, perhaps sanc tioned by the board of governors or even the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT).
