Takes Job
By Sandra Whalen
Cne of the campus's most
familiar faces will leave the
University scene this year.
Bob Handy, director of Un
ion Activities, is leaving his
post to become the managing
director of a new $1,200,000
Union at Kansas City Univer
sity. Reason Stated
"The Union will open a year
from September of I960,"
Handy said, "so I will have
an entire year to plan pro
grams and appoint my staff."
Handy, who has been at the
University since 1956, gave
his reasons for leaving as
"professional and economi
cal." "I am most fortunate to
have had this opportunity to
serve my University commu
nity by being a member of
the Nebraska Union staff,"

food for picnics and box lunches are also on the Service's
endless menu. .
Chief cook and bottle washer of the service is Marty

culinary art. Behind him are 40 full time and over 100
part time workers, a brand new centralized kitchen and
separate bakery. . .

University activities and ob

he said.
Attended Doane
Handy's interest in Union
work stemmed from an or
iginal desire to be a college
dean.
"Then I saw the demand
and need for people to work
with Unions and student cen
ters," he explained.
As illustrated by his four
years at Doane College, Handy
has always been an active
participant in college life. He
served as president of the stu
dent government in that
school, was sports editor of
the yearbook and was a mem
ber of a local fraternity, Sig
ma Phi.
Coached Team
"I also coached the base
ball team for two years be
cause they didn't have a

built a diamond and then got
other University activities.
Miss. Miller was cited for
working "unceasingly for the
betterment of the Uni
versity," and using her tal
ents whenever possible.
Howell Performance
"Her performances on the
stage of the Howell Theatre
have brought enjoyment to
many.".
She is a member of Mor

He studied business admin
istration at Doane, then got
his Master's degree here in
educational psychology.
His activities didn't end with
college. As well as coordin
ating Union events, Handy
has been publicity director of
the Lincoln Community Con
certs for two years, a mem
ber of the Junior Chamber of
Commerce and a Mason.
Two Daughters
Handy married a girl from
Doane after his graduation,
and they now have two daugh
ters, one less than a month
old.
He cited his years at Ne
braska as "the best years of
my life. Without trying to be
dramatic, believe me when I
say I hate to leave this won
derful University."
He thought the best thing
that had been accomplished
during his time here was bet
tering the University in the
eyes of students, alumni, fac
ulty and friends.
Attitudes Change
"Attitudes among the stu
dent body are changing, and
we must strive to meet these
demands," he said. "We need
creativeness, sensitivity, new
life, better ideas, and greater
enthusiasm."
Estimating what Handy's
leaving will mean to the Uni
versity, Dorothy Beechner,
past president of the Union
Board, said:
"Bob's leaving is a loss that
involves more than losing a
fabulous program director.
His friendliness to all and
enthusiasm for the entire
campus will be impossible to
replace."
Sally Downs, vice president
of the present Union board,
called him the "backbone of
Union activities and a friend
of everyone on the campus."
Handy explained that he
would work with the person
appointed to his position all
summer in preparation for
next fall's work.

Bernstein-Drafted
Labor Bill Killed;
Retrial Dies 27-13
By Marilyn Coffey
A motion to raise a labor
relations bill, drafted by Prof.
Merton Bernstein p.rtd backed
by Gov. Ralph Brooks, was
killed in the Legislature yes
terday by a 27-13 vote.
LB708 had been killed by
the Labor and Public Welfare
Committee earlier this ses

Sen. John Munnelly's mo
tion, which he called a "ges
ture of good sportsmanship,"
would have placed the con
troversial labor-management
code on general file.
Speaking in opposition to
the Omaha senator's motion
were Sen. Ray Simmons of
Fremont, introducer of the
secondary boycott bill passed
earlier this session; Sen. Ter
ry Carpenter of Scottsbluff,
introducer of L8708; Sen. John
Cooper of Humboit; Sen. Hal
Bridenbaugh of Dakota . City
and Sen. Don Thompson of
McCook.
Simmons pointed out to the
senators some of the "fascin
ating phases" of the bill.

work as president of Lincoln

High Grades
Wilbur Hass was nominat
ed for "his truly exception
al intellectual achievements
here at the University."

Take Over
"This would mean that Hof
fa (president of the Team
stres Union) could take over
any business, even ,if the em
ployes were already union
ized," Simmons declared.
"Prof. Bernstein claims to
be a labor expert," he con
tinued. "He knew what this
would do." The senator said
lawyers checked the statutes
of other states and found no
similar provision.
"Prof. Bernstein told us that
his bill outlaws secondary
boycotts," Simmons said.
"It certainly does not and
Prof. Bernstein knows it does
not," he said.
Objections Voiced
Other objections Simmons
had to the bill included the
"vast powers" of the com
missioner of representative
elections, the lack of provi
sion allowing employers to
obtain a restraining order
against violence to person or
property and against the sec
odary boycott, and limitation
of restraining orders to 72
hours.
He cautioned the senators
not to think of a labor sela-
tions act as a panacea to la-
b o r - management troubles.
The National Labor Relations
Act failed to prevent Team
ster abuses in Nebraska, and
the Wisconsin Peace Act did
not prevent the Kohler strike,
the senator pointed out.
Munnelly, supporting his
motion, said he was not ask
ing for passage of the bill in
its present form but was ask
ing for a chance for labor to
sit down with management to
work out a fair labor-relations
bill.
