Assistant Business Manager Phil Kantor Circulation Manager Erv Friedman Working Conditions At the Student Council meeting yesterday aft ernoon considerable time was spent discussing the working conditions of students in the various eat ing establishments in the city. A committee which had been appointed to in vestigate alleged improper conditions turned in the usual report of poor fd an( lng working hours, adding a postscript to the effect that, "there isn't much we can do about it." ' There has been a committee appointed to look Into working conditions each year each year the committee report is the same. For the past five years they might as well have been carbon copies of the original. Particular mention was made by the committee chairman of a certain establishment which served the student employees what amounted to "leftovers." He also stated that university offi cials had at one time taken the matter in hand, but got no results. ' Why is it that nothing can be effected to bring about an alleviation of poor working conditions? The answer is quite obvious. If a student is actually in need of a job he will take whatever is offered re gardless of the number of hours or the conditions under which he works. Also, there are very few students who take a genuine and active interest in their "working brothers and sisters." The Student Council has spent considerable; time, talk, and effort on the matter every year. It should be lauded for its perseverance, if not for its results. But the Council can do nothing if it does not have the support of the student body and of those students who claim grievances. And yet the student body cannot be blamed for its inaction. Five thousand students, each with his and her own problems, is an unwieldy group which needs or ganization, information, and instruction before it can be expected to take some action relative to the situation. Various members of the Council talked of boy cotting individual establishments if concessions with regard to food, salary, and hours of work Behind the News By David Thompson China Criticizes . . . Evidence to support the importance laid upon Allied prestige among the Far Eastern peoples in this column in yesterday's paper comes from the strongest nation in that area. Reports from Chung king, capital of China, indicate that the lack of Anglo-American successes against the Japanese, failure of reinforcements to arrive, and the lack of foresightedness on the part of the Allies in that area, all these and many other things, are being severely criticized in the newspapers of that nation. They are complaining about the great "num ber of words-no action'' formula being carried on, and are particularly disturbed by statements made in the U. S. and England that Hitler must be smashed first. All of this is quite understandable coming from a nation that has been at war with the Japanese for four long years, and that has little or no interest in the European situation. How ever it bodes no good as far as the peace that will follow this war. Rather it is indicative of a trend toward nationalism instead of internationalism in that area. These Chinese newspapers at any rate do not, and perhaps do not want to look at this war in its wider aspects. They are only concerned with the things that threaten them most. For that matter, so would any other nation that was in the same position, nevertheless it does not alter the fact that it is not the kind of attitude that makes for internationalism after the war any more than dur ing it. If the peace that follows an Allied victory is to be any more successful than that of Versatile, it must not involve the same mistakes made in that notorious treaty, and it must fall upon a world that is amenable to joint international action in time of peace as well as in time of war. Our only hope is that the Chinese newspapers do not reflect the sentiments of the Chinese government. were not made by the managements. To talk about such action is one thing, while doing it is another. It would seem, however, that a boycott should be used only as a last resort. There are other methods of affecting an understanding between the student employee and the employer which would cause less friction and yet attain the desired results if prop erly directed. Cooperation of the students and particularly those students who are working is essential to the success of any proposals made by the Student Council. Therefore, the working conditions commit tee of the Council should call a meeting of all working students, question them concerning their work, and ask for suggestions. In this way not o,nly can facts be obtained on which to base further ac tion but also all petty grievances can be eliminated Paul E. Svoboda.
