Graduate Teaching Fellows
protest wages at rally
Nearly 50 graduate teaching fel
lows and supporters rallied on the
steps of the University’s administra
tion building Thursday, protesting
what they called low wages and ask
ing for fair contract negotiations.
“We are below the federal
poverty level,” graduate teaching fel
low Jey Strangfeld said during the
rally, which included a march
through Johnson Hall and the Lillis
Business Complex. “We got a 2 per
cent increase this fall, but the past
two years we’ve been put under a
wage freeze. ”
University President Dave Frohn
mayer said he hopes the cordial and
friendly relationship between
the administration and the Graduate
Teaching Fellows Federation
will continue.
“We hope for a contract that will
be helpful to everyone,”
Frohnmayer said.
The current GTFF contract offi
cially expires in March.

In Wilma's wake, people
line up for necessities
MIAMI — Many Floridians strug
gled another day to find food, water
and fuel after Hurricane Wilma on
Thursday, with lines of people and
cars forming around home improve
ment stores and gas stations.
President Bush arrived in Miami
to visit the National Hurricane Cen
ter and boarded a helicopter to get
his first look at the damage wrought
by Wilma in Florida, where about 2
million homes and businesses were
still without power.
Many gas stations that had fuel
were without electricity, and others
that had power ran out of supplies.
Shouting matches started at some
stations when people tried cutting
in line.
“Get gas down here. This is crazi
ness,” Connie Rodriguez, 23, said
Thursday while she and her fiance
tried to get gas at two stations
across the street from each other.
Progress was being made: Port
Everglades had power back for most
of its fuel depot, which supplies sta
tions across South Florida. About
700 trucks will be picking up gas
there to deliver to stations Thurs
day, down from the normal 1,000,
said Carlos Buqueras, director of
business development at the Fort
Lauderdale-area port.
Clash between Shiites,
Sunnis leaves 15 dead
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Sunni Arab
militants killed 14 Shiite militiamen
and a policeman Thursday in a
clash southeast of Baghdad — an
other sign of rising tensions among
Iraq’s rival ethnic and religious
communities. The U.S. military re
ported three more American sol
diers died in combat.
The Shiite-Sunni fighting oc
curred after police and militiamen
loyal to radical Shiite cleric Muqta
da al-Sadr raided a house in
Nahrawan, 15 miles southeast of
the capital, to free a militiaman tak
en hostage by Sunni militants, ac
cording to Amer al-Husseini, an
aide to al-Sadr.
After freeing the hostage and cap
turing two militants, the Shiite mili
tiamen were ambushed by the Sun
nis on their way out of the
religiously mixed town, al-Husseini
said. Police Lt. Thair Mahmoud said
14 others — 12 militiamen and two
policemen — were wounded.
The incident underscores ten
sions among hard-line elements in
Iraq’s rival religious and ethnic
communities at a time when the
United States is struggling to
promote a political process seen as
key to calming the insurgency so
that U.S. and other foreign troops
can go home.
