Front-page stories in today's Gazette: (1) Hernan Crespo, re-elected president of Canadian Union of Public Employees local 793, says relations between his union and UW management are much better than they were last year, when a strike was narrowly averted. He says people (his union members and presumably others) don't mind working hard, but they take a close look at how they're compensated. And he has a budget-trimming suggestion for the university: freeze the salaries of all staff (not faculty) now making more than $50,000 a year. (2) Targets for the number of women faculty members in the university, institution-wide and department by department, are announced by the provost, based on figures provided by the departments. The goal: an increase of more than 50 per cent in the current number of women professors, to about 148 of them, by the year 1999.
