Favors Student Responsibility
Crookston Seeks
Student Affairs Job
By TOM KOTOUC
The second candidate to be interviewed
for the position of Dean of the Division of Stu
dent Affairs, Burns Crookston, was on cam
pus Monday and Tuesday.
Crookston, Associate Dean of the Univer
sity of Utah, believes in turning over the ma
jor responsibility of student discipline to liv
ing unit courts.
"Onlv extreme cases such
as classroom cheating, theft
and all sex deviancy should
be handled by the adminis
tration or by a Student Be
havior Committee of five stu
dents and five faculty mem
bers," Crookston said.
"I fell that a fraternity
president should be able to
discuss drinking problems in
his house with me as a coun
selor and advisor, not as an
administrator, and without
fear that I will discipline him
for infractions which he dis
cusses with me in private."
he said.
"At the University of Utah,
the IFC court of students han
dles all cases of fraternity
discipline and infractions," he
explained.
Similar living unit courts
have been organized for Pan
hell, men's and women's
dormitories and cooperatives.
"I do not believe the Dean
should be a 'hatchet' man
who enforces University regu
lations if students are cap
able of enforcing these regu
lations themselves," he added.
. In the area of student par
ticipation in University policy-making,
Crookston said:
"The Student Council should
have a strong influence in
University policy, and student
members of faculty commit
tees should be more than
rubber stamps of faculty opin
ion." Dean Crookston, who had
just returned from a two
ijay workshop in the moun
tains with the newly-elected
IFC, to which he is advisor,
said that Universities have
been weak in developing lead
ership on campus.
"Issues that come before
the University are the con
cern of the students as well
as the administrators and
faculty," suggested Crook
ston. "The University budget
would be one of these is
sues." "Students should have a
regularly-scheduled opportu
nity to visit with the Univer
sity chancellor at least twice
a month to inform him of
student opinion," Crookston
said.
A student-faculty Sounding
Board at Utah regularly
meets to discuss any issue in
campus life from parking to
assessment of students for a
new field house, said Crooks
ton. A graduate of Utah State
University and former tra
veling secretary for S i g m a
Chi fraternity, Crookston took
his doctorate and graduate
work at Columbia University.
He has served as Assistant
Dean of Students at the Uni
versity of Utah since 1954 and
will serve as acting-D e a n
next fall.

The play has been ac
laimed as one of the greatest
musicals of our time. After
the opening night on Broad
way, Nov. 24, 1950, Brooks At
kinson, critic for the New
York Times, said, "Out of the
pages of Damon Runyon some
able artisans have put togetn
er a musical play that Broad
way can be proud of "Guys
and Dolls."
He continued, "Guys and
Dolls" is gusty and uproari
ous, and from a technical
point of view we might as
well admit that "Guys and
Dolls" is a work of art."
Character names such as
Nicely-Nicely Johnson, Harry
the Horse, Angie the Ox, and
Drunk give the proper lmpres
sion that the play Is not lack

Facts cited in connection with a state
ment by labor columnist Victor Riesel that
abor disputes at the Lincoln missile complex
will contribute to more
ation have drawn criticism from a local labor
official.
Riesel, who spoke
Nebraska Union Monday,
said in an interview that
temperamental" and "head
ache" labor relations prob
lems at Lincoln Air Force
Base, and Larson AFB, Moses
Lake, Wash., missile sites
will bring about more restric
tive legislation."
Dale Peate. secretary-treas
urer of the Lincoln Building
and Construction Trades
Council and a member of the
Teamsters Union, felt that
presentation of these facts
alone tended to give a dis
torted picture of the overall
situation.
The facts cited, which ac
cording to Riesel "even
if they seem minor, are still
giving headaches to wasning
ton," were obtained from the
Site Activation Task Force,
headquartered at Wahoo,
The facts show that 250
man-dpys were lost at LAFB
in January, and 100,000 man-
days worked.
While Lincoln losses were
called "minor" in comparison
with the total at Larson
AFB, Riesel said disputes at
the Lincoln complex are mak
ing national and international
headlines, which "disgust
people abroad and further
gives the impression that the
American philosophy is based
on making the buck."
During the first phase of
the area missile project
(June, 1960, to Aug. 1, 1961)
Peate claimed that problems
with work stoppage were at
a minimum.
"When Western Contracting
was in here as the prime con
tractor, we feel we had very
good relations with the com
pany," he said.
"The work stoppage record
(for all building tradesmen)
was less than one-half of one
per cent.
In figuring work stop
pages, all types are covered
including weather, break
downs, and lack of material
not just organized labor,"
continued Peate.
Speaking then as an indi
vidual member of the Team
sters Union, Peate said, "it
appears that Riesel's state
ments (in his convocation ad
dress) were very broad
students should now make
every effort to find out both
sides of the question.
At any time anyone from
the Teamsters Union presents
facts or factual information,
we attempt to present it so
all concerned will know our
position as well as the side's,"
he concluded.
Honors List
To Exclude
Transfers
Grades earned at a college
or university other than the
University will be excluded in
the computation of awards
for honors convocation, ac
cording to a recommenda
tion of 'ihe Faculty Senate
honors convocation commit
tee. "Also, honors in the col
leges of dentistry, law and
medicine will be made solely
on the basis of work complet
ed in those colleges following
student's matrici la-
tion," recommended commit
tee chairman Robert Stake.
In other Senate business.
Chancellor Hardin told the
group that James Pittinger's
appomtment as athletic tick
et manager was not prompted
by illness.
"The reassignment came as
a result of a need in the ath
letic department which Pit
tinger had the qualifications
to fill," said Hardin.
There is no decision as yet
as to Mr. Pittinger's next as
signment, according to the
Chancellor.
"It is not uncommon to
shuffle personnel in the ad
ministration a b o u t," said
Dean Adam P. Breckenridge
Pittinger had been out of
the office for several weeks
preceding the announcement
of his new assignment with
an unreported illness.

X X
Columnist
Challenges
Public. Labor
A near-capacity crowd in
ths Student Union Ballroom
heard labor columnist Victor
Riesel issue a dual challenge
to the public, and to the
nation's labor leaders.
He urged students to be
come realists aware of the
vast underworld crime syndi
cate, "a second government
. . . doing a $22 billion busi
ness per year," and how it
is trying to edge into the
American labor movement.
Riesel explained that the
criminal syndicate an inter
locking group of people of
many professions is trying
to become "legitimate"
through invading legal busi
nesses, and then gaining con
trol of the parallel labor un
ions. In this way, "the crook be
comes an official, rather
than an officiarbecoming a
crook."
The second challenge issued
by Riesel was to labor lead
ers to utilize their power re
sponsibility, and "stand up
and fight" the crime syndi
cate. Explaining the power of la
bor, Riesel noted that in some
instances, "one local union of
70,000 members can paralyze
one entire corporation.
"If this action is against
any corporation upon which
the economy of the country
rests, it means that two or
three people sitting on the
executive council of the un
ion can paralyze the entire
nation."
The majority of trade un
ion leaders are capable and
responsible, he said, but who
is going to head this power
mechanism in the future?
The public must be aware,
said Riesel, of a three-way,
"troika" threat from the
mob and the underworld,
from Communist infiltration,
and from irresponsible labor
lenders
Riesel labeled James Hof
fa. head of the Teamsters Un
ion, part of the third threat
48 and driving tor power . . .
Hoffa wants to organize a
vast transportation union . . .
(composed of members work
ing on) land, sea, and air
. . . whose contracts wouia
all expire on the same day."
Such a nower control snoum
nnt rest in the hands of "X
the human being, he contin
ued. f!itinf? instances of misuse
of labor power both in the
U.S. and througnout mm
world. Riesel urged lab of

with care. .
The American people will

tive strait jacKei h yuu con

the underworld, were: 'Get
