Tentative contract ends AT&T strike
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Union leaders approved a tentative contract yesterday to end a 15-day-old telephone strike by 675,000 Bell System operators and service technicians.
The three-year contract, which still is subject to completion of local bargaining and ratification by the rank-and-file, provides for a 16.4 percent average wage increase during the life of the company.
The document was signed last night by Glena

Bad-check write
By SUSAN WORTMAN Staff Reporter
The check policy at the University of Kansas is simple. You do not have to go through the usual ritual of showing two pieces of identification. If you wish, you can not cover it. Your enrollment will be canceled.
bad checks are a problem at KU especially during enrollment, said Roger Liebert, general accounting supervisor for the comproller's office. At the end of enrollment last semester, the comproller's office had almost $60,000 in bad checks, he said.
"people will write a check knowing full well that they don't have the money to cover it," Liebst said. "Often they will do it to hold their enrollment."
A BAD CHECK is treated as a late enrollment and carries an extra $10 charge. This year University officials have added an extra charge for writing bad checks.
"We now have an $8 charge for bad checks. That became effective as of late July," Liebst said.

"All those stories about me are false. I just love the sun. That's the only reason why I spend my time, my life, bathing," he said.
He says he never was a soldier. He likes religion, but he is not a monk. And, he says, he is as crazy as any other human being.
"About those skin cancer tumors, I think they also are false. I feel fine. I don't have any
Watts estimated that $3 billion worth of improvements were in the contract. He said the agreement would raise the current average hourly base wage of $12.33 to $14.33 over the contract.
