THE MUNCIE STAR SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1988 PAGE A-3 Teacher Contract Unsettled Rubin will issue a fact-finding report that is not binding on either side. After both sides have studied report for 10 days, it might be made public. Should either side reject the fact-finder's recommendations, negotiations would start all over again, teachers might decide on a more dramatic step. "Any time you get to this point, some kind of job action is in the back of your mind," Davis said. "A strike has not been talked about, but we have talked about withholding our services for after-school and extra-curricular activities." Negotiators have been unable to reach a middle ground after long months of negotiation.

Teachers rejected a tentative agreement in October. Teachers want a 1-year contract with an 8-percent increase in base salaries. The school board has offered 2-year contract with 1 a 5-percent increase each year. Mount Pleasant administrators recently were given pay raises averaging 6.5 percent. The two sides cannot agree on how much new state money is available for salary increases.

School administrators have said the corporation be getting a 5-percent increase in revenue in both and 1989, plus an additional 1.5 percent in new money to pay for the 5 days added to the school year. Teacher representatives have said the full 6.5 percent in new money should be used to figure how much could be given in raises. While both sides wait for Rubin's report, both Proudfoot and Davis continue to hope the dispute can resolved. "Teachers hope that there will be a middle ground both parties can agree upon," Davis said. By CINDY CARSON is how you ought to work it Davis said.

YORKTOWN A public session about the the unsettled teachers' contract at Mount Pleasant Community Schools drew little attention from township residents this week.

or Although the meeting room at Yorktown Elementary School was "standing room only," a all but about 10 of those present were teachers, said Linda K. Davis, president of the Yorktown teachers' association. "We were hoping for more response from the community," Davis told The Star on Friday. "I guess it's community concern that we don't have." Davis said bad weather, a change in meeting dates and a general "burn out" caused by the ongoing dispute over school renovations might have caused a residents to stay away. Board Secretary Linda Proudfoot said patrons had shown little emotional response to the contract dispute because not much has been publicized about negotiations.

"We've tried to keep it friendly with no name- will calling or bad feelings brought into it," Proudfoot told 1988 The Star. "We want to resolve it the best we can. We don't want to be left with a negative situation." The public meeting was lead by state appointed fact-finder Richard S. Rubin, a professor in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University, Bloomington. During the session, each side had a chance to state be its case.

(AP) The former business manager of Indiana University-Kokomo has been charged with 20 counts of theft and 10 counts of forgery in the alleged misappropriation of more than $244,000 in university funds. An affidavit filed Wednesday alleged that Richard L. Campbell, 46, of Kokomo misappropriated $244,024 from the university's mailing and duplicating account and from a petty cash fund during the last 5 years. Campbell resigned Jan. 6 after serving 20 years as business manager.

Howard Circuit Court Judge R. Alan Brubaker entered a preliminary plea of not guilty for Campbell during an initial hearing Thursday morning and set bond at $10,000. A July 15 trial date also was set. Campbell was taken to the Kokomo Police Department headquarters, where he posted bond and was released. James Green, director of IU's media relations, said the funds were insured and the university would not suffer a financial loss.
