Taft-Hartley Inevitable
When an Irrestihlfl fnrom most in Im.
movable object the President finally has
to "step in under the terms of the Taft
Hartley act
Since the steel strike's onset in July, it
had been apparent to most observers that
no ste-1 workers would return to their
jobs until the government stepped in to
relieve either side of the loss of "face"
involved in backing down. Union leader
ship, solidly at the helm of a gargantuan
organization, apparently felt that it could
not -afford to admit to the rank and file
that there is an upper limit to the more,
more and yet more demands.
Industry, which has been the apparent
loser in the negotiations since the end of
the war. made it equally obvious that
this was to be the year in which the busi
ness dug in and attempted to recoup some
of that same face that the union has done
so well in maintaining.
Thus the lines have been drawn for
months. President Eisenhower, the man
with the authority and power to put an
abrupt end to the walkout, . which is so
crippling to the entire economy, was
faced with a difficult dilemma. He had to
decide whether to throw the weight of the
government into the battle, thus making
concessions easier since it could then be
Migration, Anyone?
Anybody notice any KU types around
this weekend?
Like standing in those long, long lines
in the Union and making all that noise at
the game. Like when they migrate, they
really migrate or, do we really look like
that when we go to Boulder? Probably.
One thing was pretty noticeable. That's "
when KlFers go to a game, they make a
real show of the thing. None of this half
attention for them but then migrations
always generate an over-abundance of
spirit
Anyone for MU?
One of the outgrowths of preparations
for out biennial trek toward Columbia is
a plan instigated by some members of In
nocents in conjunction with the senior
men's group at MU. Seems when the
mystics here checked to see if Nebras
kans could buy student tickets for the
Missouri game, it turned out that they
couldn't
Last year Colorado made student tickets
available as a courtesy and this year the
mystics put their heads together on a plan
which if it works may do a lot to boost the
migratory habits of Big 8'ers. The plan is
simple just work up a Big 8 reciprocal
agreement under which students attend
ing away games at other Big 8 schools
could purchase tickets at student prices.
Good lack in your plans hope itll work.
done in an attitude of self-sacrificing "for
the good of the country" by both sides or
to let .the two sides work out their -jwn
solution. Senator John Kennedy's comment
lst week that Eisenhower should have
stepped in much sooner may be dismissed
as election year-eve mish mash. Allowing
the strike to drag on more than 80 days
before taking the first step towards a pos-
, sible back-to-work injunction took real
.political courage.
Big union and big business haye as
sumed such monolithic dimension that
each seems to feel that it may make un
checked demands upon the rest of the
country. Big steel's price boosts after each
wage hike have been as irresponsible as
big union's incessant demands for. more,
more and more money.
Thus, in waiting out the first 80 some
days of the impasse, the President must
have bee? aware that the disputants would
not reach an agreement by themselves.
But the very fact that they were made to
wait this long before any direct govern
mental action has focused national atten
tion clearly upon the problem of labor ne
gotiations. Perhaps enough good might
arise out of the increased awareness of
the almost comical attitudes taken by both
sides to bring about a degree of maturity
- now lacking in big scale labor relations.
To the outside observer it appears that
niether side wears the aura of shiny white
ness it would like to assume. Union de
mands for a greater voice in management
have the ring of a small boy petulantly
yelling over and over again, "Gimme."
And the industry could hold prices down
and absorb some of the past wage in
creases itself. Profits are at an all-time
high in the steel industry hardly a fact
which would bear out - industry's claim
that any wage increases must be com
pensated for by raising prices.
Thus, to the general public Is pre
sented a spectacle of two giants, poised in
an exaggerated pugilistic stance, each
wearing a righteous air.
And on the sideline, a not-disinterested
observer Is the spectre of foreign steel
cheaper, and beginning to make serious in
roads on our own steel market Our steel
Industry Is just beginning to awaken to the
realization that this same spectre already
has robbed us of most of our foreign mar
ket. But the union blithely demands more,
more, more money, more time off, more
direction of the companies.
It scarcely needs to be stated that the
settlement of this strike, which has all the
aspects of being a test case, will set the
pattern for labor negotiations for some
time to come. Its outcome will reach far
beyond the confines of the steel, or even
the metal industry.
The three government fact finders have
a mammoth job facing them.

I enjoy dismal, rainy days. They always seem to be
days on which no one can do anything, and not go later
and get back sooner from lunch, hence we can all be out .
to lunch longer. Like steeplechase practice had been
called off.
One day it' rained and was dreary and they didn't call
steeplechase practice off so everyone went to the football
game. But the sun tame out so that everyone could cheer
for the team but they didn't so everyone who sat on the
front row of the student section went to a luncheori, and
the cheerleaders, and talked around .about people who
didn't yell for these things who had come to pass.
And Zithers
And after the luncheon everyone went home and wrote
something of a kind 'n things and some idiot went around
the crib asking people to suggest noisemakers like Zithers
and they all printed these things.
And people read them and some said "What?" and '
some said "That's fine," and some said "What time L. the
planetarium open?", and some said, "Uh hurry up the
line up there willya hurry Jt up." v
And I said (not that it made an ant's pituitary of a
difference): Forced spirit is a fallacy. It is phoney. If
you don't feel like yelling or having go-go in classes don't
then. You don't have a flea's wart of an obligation if you
paid your one twenty. If you don't yell you can't boo. If
you boo, you must yell. And if you yell, you don't have to
boo, but you may. I like to yell occasionally. I like to hear
McDole crack leather I like to see Coop throw a shiver.
I like to see them carry somebody ofL I like to watch Dyer '
fill and cover because I used to beat him up when I lived
in the dorm and he and Monte Kiffin and Mick Tinglehoff
practiced kickoff returns in the room.
Down The Steps
We know some of these people. They make us buy
them coffee in the crib, and push us down the Soc steps.
They knock our books out of our hands and they steal our
pencils. But we like to see them do good on Saturday be
cause we happen to know them.
But how come no one yells for me when I sell $3 of
food at the game. I sell popcorn. You eat it. Maybe you like
to watch and eat and not yell becaust you don't feel like
it. You maybe don't have time to watch and eat and not
feel like yelling and blow a Zither at the same time.
Which all ends with: yell if you feel like it; don't if
5ou don't but also don't tell the guy next to you to yell if
he's not and to not if he Is. Just say "Pass the rum." And
tell White and Zaruba and Martin and everybody good
game when you see them later. This is not phoney this is
courteous congratulations see. And tell me nice game for
selling you coffee and letting the urn drip all over your
program and blanket and Zither and everything. -From
The Beats
As an aftermath, I have also rewritten the old song
with the help of the Beatnique club. It may be either
chanted or burned. As follows:
There Is no place like Nebraska huh?
How about Columbia? Or British Honduras? Or Marys

contact with before enrolling here sucker.

Out in Left Field
By Adam Stain
and Jon Moyer
We of left field would
like to jump on the band
wagon by congratulating
the young Democrats for fi
nally having an election,
the significance of whick is
not too clear since all the
organizations have an oc
casional election.
" It is enlightening, how
ever, to see activity in a
campus activity. And it is
without a doubt, one of the
major upheavals to hit the
young Democrats in a long
time.
The reason no one has
young Republicans is that
their future already seems
rosy because of the help
that they have been getting
from state Democratic of
ficeholders. With this- encouraging
note we will take a long
look at the Activites Mart

which is about to launch
nultitudes of freshmen stu-
:nts into campus politics.
Step Up
Now the freshmen will be
able to step up to t h e
counter and purchase an
activity which will cause
them the least effort and
most recognition in their '
mad race to become a
name rather than an IBM
number.
At this point a note of
clarification is in order.
Many activities have an ob
jective which is worthy of
campus praise and student
endeavor. It is also true
that activities offer excel
lent social contacts as well
as a chance to develop a
well-rounded personality.
Type and Amount
The point which students
would do well to examine
is the type and amount of.
activity within each activ
ity. In closely scrutinizing
campus activities, students
should be able to see or
ganizations which help the
University and the student
members of the activities.
This is what activities were
meant to be. As it is now,
however, the student who
examines activities closely
will find things of an en
tirely different variety.
In some activities we
find a group of self
appointed campus demi
gods who hold weekly meet
ings for the sole purpose of
.deciding on new ways to
convince the rest of the
campus that they are demi
gods. In most activities the be
ginners go through tha
strange ritual of appeas
ing the egos of their 'su
periors.' Extinct?
Of course we are paint
ing a ratlier gloomy picture
of the campus x activities,
.but the fact remains that
these organizations have a
great deal to do with school
spirit For example, if well
qualified students are con
tinually rejected from im
portant campus groups sim
ply because they don't have
any political ties, they will
inevitably adopt the atti
tude of apathy one which
.is already widespread on
this campus.
. If students join activities
just to become known by
the perennial 'Cobbers'
and the gunners on campus
we may expect a substan
tial increase in the number
of barely mediocre mem
bers in our worthwhile
campus organizations.
