     HALIFAX (CUP) —- A 
     
     faculty strike which lasted 11 
     
     school days at the Techni- 
     
     cal University of Nova Scotia 
     
     ended February 1. 
     
    

    
     “Nobody can get ev- 
     
     erything that they want,” 
     
     said Mort Runbinger, chair 
     
     of the Strike Coordination 
     
     “We felt we 
     
     had made progress in the 
     
     areas we wanted addressed: 
     
     catch-up (pay), working con-

     The 103 members of the 
     
     union won average salary in- 
     
     creases of 3,2, 3.8 and 3.75 
     
     per cent over the next three 
     
     Before the settlement 
     
    
   
   
    
     years. 
     
     a full professor was making 
     
     $51,515 a year. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Union 
     
     representatives had asked for 
     
     six, six and six per cent hikes. 
     
     That would have brought full 
     
    
   
   
    
     professor salaries to just over 
     
     $77,000, in line with the in- 
     
     dustries and Ontario engi- 
     
     neering schools which union 
     
     officials say are luring Ph.D. 
     
     holders away from the uni- 
     
     versity.

     Over 90 per cent of mem- 
     
     bers voted in favour of the 
     
    
   
   
    
     new contract, which took 19 
     
     months to negotiate. The 
     
     union also includes library 
     
     workers who walked out with 
     
     the professors.

     While the _ collective 
     
     agreement states that only 
     
     salaries are negotiable, Rub- 
     
     inger said a committee will 
     
     now be looking into working 
     
     conditions and other issues 
     
     faculty or administrators feel 
     
     should be addressed. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Union 
     
     representative and architec- 
     
     ture professor Tom Emodi 
     
     said the strike’s real. issue 
     
     was the quality of education 
     
     at TUNS. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Emodi said that at least 
     
     seven of the last 18 departed 
     
     teachers left 
     
     for higher salaries and better 
     
     working conditions. He said 
     
     many go to Ontario’s big four 
     
     universities - Western, Wa-

     The bench played well for the 
     
    
   
   
    
     Pasnthers as Winston Dun- 
     
     can and Brett Wood came off

     Sunday’s game was never 
     
     close as the Panthers only 
     
     trailed once 4-2 in the first 
     
     two minutes. UPEI erased 
     
     that and jumped to an 18- 
     
     After 
     
     UNB scored six unanswered 
     
     points UPEI started to take 
     
     over the game as they opened 
     
     up an 18 point 45-27 halftime 
     
     lead. 
     
    

    
     UPEI played just as well 
     
     in the second half as all mem- 
     
     bers of the Panthers hit the 
     
    
   
   
    
     scoring column as_ playing 
     
    
   
   
    
     time was evenly distributed 
     
    
   
   
    
     throughout the lineup. Del-- 
     
    
   
   
    
     roy Adams led the way 
     
     with 18 points followed by 
     
     Roberts and Gordon with 16 
     
     each, Dunn had 8, O’Brian 
     
     7, Duncan and Shaw 4 each, 
     
     and Wood and Wright 2 
     
    
   
   
    
     apiece. UPEI has this week-
