finally
over
A year and a half of hard-fought
negotiations came to an end Fri
day morning when Graduate
Teaching Fellow Federation
Pres. Charlie Aker and University
Pres. William Boyd signed the
first contract between the two.
GTFs were satisfied with contract
provisions regarding work load, a
grievance procedure, discipline
and rehiring, but GTFF
negotiators were unable to gain a
strike vote to push their demand
for a 19 percent wage increase
over two years. The final contract
calls for a 14 percent increase re
troactive to Sept. 15, 1977, as is
the entire contract. The pact ex
pires on Sept. 15, 1979.

why its so hard to move when we
know very clearly what needs to
be done in South Africa; what
needs to be done in Iran; and what
needs to be done in the Middle
East."
Although Young criticized the
U.S. involvement in Iran, he em
phasized that Carter has no other
choice but to support the Shah.
'What's going on in Iran is a
painful torment in a nation that has
accomplished over the past 20
years what it took us hundreds of
years to accomplish,'’ he exp
lained. "But it probably will ulti
mately result in a a far more
humane and democratic country
for the people of Iran."
Democrats from all over
Oregon paid $10 to hear Young
speak during a chicken dinner at
the Eugene Hotel.
Young, whose talk was often in
terrupted by applause, praised the
late Sen. Wayne Morse for his
political independence during the
turmoil of the 1960s and said
Oregon politicians today still
adhere to the idea of voting con
trary to established trends.
Morse personified the essence
of the democratic process, Young
said, by bringing together many
factions to form some sort of ac
tion. Pres. Carter compares with
Morse because of his attempts to
bring about political action
» " "T
through compromise, Young said.
“The entire process is a strug
gle," Young said. “All that diver
sity somehow comes together to
struggle to find a framework which
we can all live with.,,
That's the dilemma of Pres.
Carter, who is trying to “pull to
gether a concensus of all factions"
to form political action, Young
said.
Referring to a line of pickets set
up outside the Eugene Hotel by
the People for South African
Freedom, who are calling for di
vestment of University stocks in
companies doing business in
South Africa, Young said the U.S.
could only use it's “diplomatic and
moral power" on South Africa to
bring about a peaceful change.
Economic sanctions against
South Africa would have to come
from "an enlightened population"
and not from a minority of people,
no matter how moral they may
seem, he said.
“South Africa is scared. They're
scared because they know they’re
wrong," Young explained. But a
showdown in that country could
only come when the Carter Ad
minstration understood all the
problems South Africa faces.
On another subject, Young
criticized the recent tax revolt as
the product of "frightened peo
ple."
