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 contract.

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 don't want to cover it, your enrollment will be canceled.
Bad cheeks are a problem at KU especially during enrollment, said Roger Liebst, general accounting supervisor for the comprother's office. At the end of enrollment last semester, the comproeller's office had almost $60,000 in bad cheeks, 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.
Schneider says he's loved sun for 14 years The 'Tan Man' of KU has devoted his life to worship of the sun
By ALBERTO SALDARRIAGA Staff Reporter
Most people think he is crazy. Some say he was a soldier in Vietnam who ruined his nerves and was dropped somewhere in the United States by the Army. There are people who think he is a sun monk. Many say he has skin cancer and is waiting for his death in the sun.
MONDAY MORNING
Most people think he is crazy
The one thing true about the Tan Man,
according to the Tan Man, is that one day,
nearly 14 years ago, he decided he had fallen
From that day on, he devoted his life to that love - the sun.
HIS REAL NAME is John Schneider, 426 Rhode Island St., and he says he has been subbathing in front of Wescue Hall for almost 15 years.

"All those stories about me are false. I just love the sun. That's the only reason why I spend my time, my life, sunbathing," he said.
He was born 40 years ago in Wichita where his mother, three brothers and one sister still live.
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 punis, 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 three years.
