All Welcome! iBIENVENIDOS! DEARBORN, Mich. — Ford Mo tor Co. and the United Auto Work ers reached tentative agreement Sunday on a “pattern” contract giv ing 1 14,000 workers wage and job security provisions similar to those in a new UAW-General Motors Corp. pact. Voting on the GM pact concluded at locals across the country Sunday night, with the informal tally show ing the contract winning approval from about 59 percent of those vot ing. Ford’s contract was extended last month when the union chose GM as its strike target. The union did not invoke its right to strike on 72 hours notice, nor did it call local walkouts, a tactic used at GM when the two failed to reach agreement by their Sept. 14 deadline. Ford bargainers had said they would not “walk in lockstep” with the GM pact. Stanley Surma, Ford executive director of labor relations, acknowledged Ford did follow the GM pattern in some areas, but said the No. 2 automaker’s specific needs were also addressed. “The tentative agreement follows closely the pattern established by the UAW at General Motors Corp,” said union President Owen Bieber. “As a result of this tentative settlement, the UAW workers at Ford will have greater job security than ever in his tory.” Bieber apparently won assurance from Ford chairman Philip Caldwell that a new small car will be produced in North America. The auto is be lieved to be Ford’s version of GM’s Project Saturn model. The Ford contract is believed to run for six years, the same as the GM contract. Bieber said the undisclosed Ford contract also includes the same three-tier wage increase system in the first year as in the GM pact. The union has called a meetingol its 160-member Ford Council foi Wednesday in Detroit. The group, made up of local presidents and plant representatives at 54 locals, must endorse the agreement befort it is goes to the membership for rati fication. mor 300 international students compete >A< ^k^pdahJju.

SO o/ruct lI By ANN CERVENKA Reporter Despite poor weather conditions this weekend, the second annual Texas A&M International Students Olympics was a success, Luis Rodri guez, International Students Asso ciation social secretary, said Sunday. The ISA organized the Olympics, which were held on the University campus during the past two week ends. About 300 A&M students from more than 20 countries com peted in ten events. Last spring the Vietnamese- American Student Association orga nized the Olympics. “Vietnam took the initiative (in originating the Olympics),” Rodri guez said. “I knew what went on last year and 1 wanted to make some changes.” Unit* BRIGH vestigatn ■jme Mir arned Su si a step) rror on tl Thatche her cou ass at tfr nil Chur curity an ie top o my hit li: “The d hatcher a it was ta alh of B< ght (HU . _. | li-T the prepare tor the next Olympics.

SMU coed murdered United Press International DALLAS — The mystery- shrouded stabbing death of a 20- year-old Southern Methodist Uni versity coed, described as beautiful, ambitious and trusting, left friends and classmates stunned and groping for answers Sunday. “She’s absolutely the last girl you’d every expect to have sometning like this happen to her,” said George Boehme, a friend of the victim’s boyfriend, the man who discovered Angie Samota’s body Saturday. Two weeks earlier, Samota left the security of all-girl campus dormitory for an off-campus condominium. “That place had three entrances, and it was right on the street,” said an ex-roommate, who asked to re main unidentified. "It was stupid of her to live there, a 20-year-old with so little security around her.” She apparently was preoccupied with her new kitten and her role in an upcoming charity ball, friends said, and thought little about suspi cious noises coming from just out side her apartment early Saturday morning. But when she told her boyfriend, Ben McCall, he rushed over to see if she was safe. He found her body sprawled naked across her bed with five to 10 stab wounds. Authorities were uncertain if she had been sex ually assaulted. Police were following several leads Sunday, but admitted they had no suspects in mind. Classmates described Samota as a person who had it all: nice clothes — “a closetful of clothes Neiman-Mar- cus would want to buy out,” an ex pensive car, a good job lined up when she graduated. At Texas Instruments, where she worked during the summer, super visors were so impressed with her drive and efficiency they asked her to come back to work permanently. “She was outstanding in every way,” said John Mazola, an Amarillo neighbor. “Very outgoing. Alwaj made top grades. She was an American girl.” I'ays all- Council to receive MSC’s fiscal report By KARI FLUEGEL Staff Writer The Memorial Student Center (Council will receive the 1983-84 fiscal year report at its meeting tonight at 7:30 in 216T MSC.
