State mediator John Vale met briefly with media represen tatives around 9:15 p m., stating that bargaining teams were at dinner and negotiations were at a “standstill.” “There's been a lot of discus sion. but no settlement and cer tainly no issues settled at this point...The major issues are still out there, and we're discussing those and trying to find solutions to them, but we have no solutions at this point.” he said.

The two bargaining teams ex changed proposals earlier in the day. but very little progress had been made since a 6 p.m. state ment by Vale. Teachers will return to work today, however, if the two teams are able to reach a settle ment by H a.m. If a settlement is reached, students will return to school on Thursday. School will bo canceled until further notice if no agreement is reached. In the meantime, substitute teachers in the area face the dif ficuIt decision of whether they will cross picket lines. Every substitute is bound by contract with the school district to teach in the event of a strike. One substitute teacher, who asked not to be identified because of the potential impact on future employability, ex plained that substitutes an? caught in the middle of the strike. "If we honor the contract, we offend the faculty. If we honor the strike, wo could jeopardize our position with the school district in the future." the substitute explained.

In addition, the Survival Center received funding for an additional stipend position and received a $200 increase for of fice supplies in another appeals hearing. During the original budget hearing, questions were raised about the groups “political” nature, and the committee did not feel comfor table allocating funds for nine stipend positions. Five stipend positions were approved, and in a 5-0-2 vote, the committee allowed for one more. Munion and Armando Morales had the abstaining votes. The IFC also granted a special request for phone service to the Sister University Project and ap proved an appeal for $500 in the phone budget line item in next year's budget. The committee also dealt with an Executive veto of three line items in the Masters of Business Administration Assocation's budget. The IFC originally had failed to overturn the veto last Thursday, but because of some procedural dif ficulties had to reconsider the veto. Needing a two-thirds ma jority vote to override, the mo tion failed 4-2-0. Jeff Wheeler and Hob Baldwin dissented. Chairwoman Jodie Mooney then moved to allocate $333 to cover postage, printing and duplication and advertising. This motion passed 4-0-2 with Muni o n a n d M o rales abstaining.

This is the same provision Kerans refer red to as a “pure comparative standard.” “There’s not going to be anything come out of this ses sion and signed by the governor that is anywhere near what this coalition (C1ELS). . .wants. It's not fair to the people of Oregon, and it's just not going to happen." Frye said of the lobbying effort by C1ELS. The bill is scheduled for reconsideration in the Senate today, but Frye does not expect the vote to change. The Senate has several op tions when reconsidering the hill, according to Dan Field, a press aide to Senate President John Kitzhaber, D-Roseburg.
