The Daily Nebraskan
Who's Ballyliooing?
The lights went out and the fireworks
began in a NUCWA meeting Tuesday,
night in the Union. The meeting was
scheduled as a panel of labor representa
tives from Omaha and Lincoln who were
to discuss the structure of labor locally
and nationally and present problems fac
ing labor today. The program was then
turned over to questions from the floor.
What the NUCWA hadn't bargained for
was a rapid exchange of opinion from
both sides that developed into a heated
argument based around the question of
whether the corruption in labor is vicious
enough to warrant the attack that Con
gress and the press are carrying on.
One representative quoted Sen. John
Kennedy (D.Mass) as saying that prob
ably only one-hundredth of one percent of
labor is corrupt. This representative
stated that unions are proud of this fact
and are against the Landrum-Griffin labor
reform act passed by Congress at the last
session, because it is loaded with "red
tape and many complicating factors."
Herbert Stocker, area representative of
the AFL-CIO, charged that the press has
"aligned itself with the enemies of labor"
and that the National Association of Man
ufacturers has "loaded the country with
propaganda."
A member of the press was in attend
eanc at the meeting and naturally with
justification defended the media against
Mr, Stocker's charges. Mr. Stocker con
sistently cited the Omaha World Herald
as an example of what he calls using
"bald-faced lies" in news columns that
mold public opinion against labor. In
other charges against the press, he could
only cite generalities.
It Is unfair to brand the press as an
enemy of labor and cite only one specific
paper, especially when this paper is the
only one in a city of nearly 300,000 people
and can pretty much slant its news col
umns in a way to suit its opinion. The
World Herald is in a position to do this if
it wishes, and we are not saying it does,
without losing readers to a competing
paper when there isn't any competition
except for Lincoln papers who have a
very minute portion of the Omaha reader
ship. Mr. Stocker said in regard to recent
corruption charges in unions, "There is' a
bad apple in most every barrel. And this
isn't the only barrel."
This very statement should make Mr.
Stocker realize that there are naturally
bad apples in the newspaper business. The
majority of the nation's newspapers ,are
fighting for labor by fighting against labor
corruption. It doesn't take any more than
Jimmy Hoffa and his racketeering hood
lums to make labor corrupt enough to
warrant a blistering attack until these
men are out of power and honest labor is
no longer threatened by such a menace.
Mr. Stocker went so far as to suggest t
that the press and also parties who are
against any type of trade unionism are
using Jimmy Hoffa to "ballyhoo" about
unions in general and have no desire to
rid the unions of Hoffa because the press
and those individuals against unions would
have no front on which to align them
selves against unions.
You have little faith in the tradition of
the press and in the people of America,
Mr. Stocker, if you would lead us to be
lieve that honest, freedom loving people
along with the press, are not working in
every way possible to clean up labor
unions and make them safe for respect
able members. (Herb Probasco)
No Conduct Pro Solution
This business of conduct probation be
. ing an unfair punishment for student mis
behavior came up again Wednesday in
Student Council.
As we understand it the problem can be
summarized thusly:
The University, acting in many cases
upon recommendations from the Student
Tribunal, has four alternatives to punish
violators of University regulations.
They can dismiss the case, give conduct
warning, place the offender on conduct
probation or they can in serious cases
suspend or expell the involved student
from the university.
In the case of conduct probation the stu
dent is not allowed to participate in any
organized activities, organizations, or in
tramural athletics.
Staff Views
As has been pointed out by many stu
dents this punishes most those who parti
cipate in self, university and community
benefitting activities. The more the
offending student participates the more he
or she is punished by the penalty of con
duct probation.
Council members didn't have any sug
gestions for a substitute or additional
chastisement. The administration evi
dently hasn't come up with a good solu
tion either, for surely they see the unfair
ness under the present set up.
There is undoubtedly an acceptable
answer.
The administration, the Student Council,
the Student Tribunal and the Nebraskan
Letterip column are always open to sug
gestions. Have you got one?
