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.

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.”

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.”
