HIGHLAND PARK, Mich. —
Bargainers for the United Auto
Workers and Chrysler Corp. worked
Monday to end a costly U.S. strike as
1 (),()()() Canadian Chrysler workers
ended their 6-day-old walkout and
headed back to work.
Seventy thousand workers walked
out Wednesday in the United States
at the same time the strike began
across the border. Analysts have esti
mated Chrysler’s after-tax strike
losses at $ 15 million a day.
But negotiators for the newly in
dependent United Auto Workers of
Canada made an agreement with the
lautomaker Sunday, and union mem
bers overwhelmingly endorsed it
Monday.
UAW-Canada spokesman George
Ehring said 97.2 percent of about
8,000 members voting in local meet
ings Monday supported the con
tract.
The company said the strike’s end
in Canada would allow Chrysler
plants there to schedule abbreviated
shifts for the rest of the week, but
that layoffs would come by then if
the U.S. strike continued.
U.S. bargainers, who resumed
their sessions Monday at Chrysler
headquarters here, were mum on
whether progress was being made.
UAW President Owen Bieber and
Chrysler’s chief negotiator, T homas
Miner, convened their bargaining
teams several hours earlier than
originally planned, but neither made
public comments.
But after recessing the talks last
week, both said they were confident
the strike could be settled quickly.
Bieber said over the weekend that
wage parity and job security re
mained sticking points. He also has
said he would ask for “something
special.” Union officials said he was
referring to a special lump sum to
make up for concessions. The Ca
nadian pact includes a payment of
$ 1,000 Canadian — about $730 U.S.
— to help make up for concessions
granted since 1979 when Chrysler
was in financial trouble.
Rural, urban schooling compared
(continued from page 1)
class had 16 people.
Monroe came to Texas from
Alaska, which is known for its out
standing education system. He says
his education stagnated during the
next two years because his high
school did not offer classes more ad
vanced than the ones he took in
Alaska.
Monroe’s school was in an area
based on agriculture. He says the
school rarely encouraged continua
tion of education, but tailored its
classes to agriculture and homemak
ing — not to more academically
oriented subjects.
Dr. James H. Copp, professor of
sociology and rural sociology, says
he believes the worst problem for
those from rural areas involves a
lack of exposure to a wide variety of
experiences. Most emphasis is on
athletics and vocational studies
rather than on science, math and
English composition, he says.
He cites studies from the 1950s to
the 1970s, which show' a greater con
cern for rural education than is
shown today. Rural schools have had
a problem with the high cost of edu
cating a small group of people, the
lack of resources to pay teachers and
fewer classes to offer.
“Many of the studies that were
done in the Southern Youth Study
found that the guidance counseling
in high school was not working very
well,” Gopp says, “. . . and often
guidance counselors were as guilty
as anyone of not encouraging kids to
reach very far.”
The career choices of urban and
rural youth show to some extent
their experience in the real world,
he says.
“The urban youth have a chance
to see people performing a wider va
riety of occupations, while the rural
youth may see only the rancher, the
truck driver and some of the local
merchants and doesn’t see as wide a
range of occupations doing ‘their
thing,’ ” Copp says.
Is there a difference in the num
ber of rural students attending col
lege now?
“We think there is, although I
can’t cite any recent studies,” Copp
says, “but the historical tradition has
that to be true."
Copp says that in general, rural
as well i
students are not as well prepared for
college academically, compared to
urban students, because of resources
and environment. But there are
many exceptions to the rule.
More often than not, rural youth
are at a greater disadvantage than
urban youth in preparation for col
lege, Bayliss and Copp point out, but
there are exceptions. T hey are not
bad-mouthing rural education, they
say, but pointing out some possible
problems from what they have seen.
Still, the problem remains that
few recent studies have been done
and there is little evidence to sup
port either side.

Brazos Beautiful takes the educa
tion task seriously, beginning with
kindergarteners and moving up
through high school. Nancy Cal
houn, another Brazos Beautiful
board member, emphasizes the in
volvement of the organization in the
classroom.
“We’re working with principals in
all of the area schools and asking
that they appoint a liaison teacher to
work w'ith us,” Calhoun says. “Th
rough that teacher, we get the cur
riculum into the school. It’s all set up
for the schools with their particular
requirements.”
Diane Mills, executive coordinator
for Brazos Beautiful, deals directly
with the liaison teachers at the
schools and teaches them to incorpo
rate discussions about the environ
ment and litter into their lesson
plans. Each program is different de
pending on the age of the students.
Contests are held at the schools to
promote the awareness of the clean
community as well as comprehensive
school projects, such as planting
trees and cleaning up areas that
need it.
Calhoun says Texas A&M stu
dents get involved with Brazos Beau
tiful through various student organi
zations.
Miller says funding tor Brazos
Beautiful comes from several
sources.
“It comes from memberships,”
she says. “We also depend on sup
port from our governmental bodies.
We receive annual support from
Brazos County, the City of Bryan
and the City of College Station.’
