Rodeo Club Chip Whitaker of Chamb ers starred for the Nebraska Rodeo Club as they traveled to a rodeo at Kansas State in Manhattan April 19-20. Chip tied for first in the saddle bronc competition and placed sixth in ribbon rop ing.

Cox, John Sennett, Jerry Coslor, Larry Nelson, Larry Rodant and Linda Edwards. The club ventures back to Kansas this weekend, parti cipating in a rodeo at Kan sas University at Lawrence, and comes home May 3 and 4 to host the NU rodeo. No Subway Series this year 'Baseball town9 Chicago falls upon hard times by Harry Argue Sports Columnist You never think of "wait 'til next year" cries going up with only two weeks gone in the season, but that's about how pathetic the Chicago baseball situation is right now. This was to be THE year for the Cubs and White Sox. Most pollsters saw high first division finishes for both clubs. Edgar Munzel of the Chicago Sun-Times even pre dicted the first all-Chicago World Series since 1906. Yet just 10 days after the sea son's belated opening, the Cubs and White Sox each boasted of sole possession of last place in their respec tive leagues. The Cubs' early skid ap pears to be just that and nothing more. The northsld- ers' big bats have been pro ducing sufficient runs and genuine hopes for the 1968 pennant may still be realized if the pitching can start com ing around. When the Cubs have won. it's been very decisive, and Foiled Again Shades of Douglas Fiar banks. Foils will be in order as intramural fencing begins in early May. Aspiring swashbuck lers should have entries in by 5 p.m. Monday, April 29 in Room 102 of the P.E. Build ing. Men students who have had experience in fencing or have taken a fencing class are eligible. All participants must wear tennis shoes and long pants. Jackets, masks, gloves and foils will be furnished. most of the losses have been tight battles, which can't help but soon start falling the right way. Further, while the Bruins are in tenth place, thve are still within breath ing distance of the top since all of the National League teams are currently in a very close bunch. After many years of just being tolerated as another team in town, Chicagoans have now really taken the Cubs to heart. 34,000 loyal partisans filled vine-covered Wrigley Field on a rainy Sun day for the home opener and screamed with almost a re ligious fervor. They seemed to echo the theme authored by first baseman Ernie Banks, "The Cubs will per colate in '68." This attitude was well shown on Easter Sunday af ter the Cubs had dropped the home opener the previous dav. Another overcast day failed to hold down a large crowd. The World Champion St. Louis Cardinals raced to an early 3-0 edge, but the Cubs weren't to be denied and came back to win a nip and tuck contest, 7-6. It was the reigning champ's first loss since the sixth game of the 1967 World Series. And the ultra-ardent Cub backers had their first chance to whoop- up a win. Tnere should be many more days like it in 1968. The White Sox have a touch bleaker situation and out- TRY PERKY'S PORKY Perky'sll &Q 432-7720 7 ACADEMY AWARD raNATICNS! tNCUIDING "BEST PICTURE OF THE YEAR!"

They dropped their first nine games and found them selves deep in the cellar, two full games out of ninth place. There has been virtually no hitting with a team batting average of a mere .170 and I'm starting to wonder if my prediction of seventh place for them was too generous. In addition to their plenti ful field problems, there are numerous ones at the box of fice. While most teams draw near capacity crowds for their home openers, the White Sox pulled, only 7,700 on a fairly warm and clear day. The park is well-kept up and easily accessible by express ways and subway, but it is close enough to a potential riot area to make people afraid to come, especially at night. Even without this prob lem, the Sox are not that ex citing a team to watch, even when they win, and It is no longer fashionable in Chicago to be a Sox fan. To insure some good crowds the White Sox moved nine home games 95 miles north to Milwaukee. The idea of a Chicago team playing 'home' games in Milwaukee hardly overjoys most Windy City faithful since the two cities have about as much love for each other as Nebraska and Colorado do. Last Friday, the White Sox were apparently so desperate that they simply decided they weren't going to play ball that night. It was announced early Friday afternoon tha. the game with Detroit had been postponed because of cold weather and a forecast of heavy rain. I was rather shocked since it didn't seem that cold and I had never hear of a game being called be cause of a rain "forecast." Usually it can be pouring down rain well past game time and the game still isn't called, but it was rumored that there was almost a neg ligible advance ticket sale for the Friday night game, which just may have had a tiny bit to do with why the game was put off. As it happened, the tem perature stayed about the same all evening and it didn't rain until Saturday morning. It seems odd that two teams in the same town could be so different. It's more like a tale of two cities. About all the two clubs have in com mon for sure this year is that they both wear a patch on their uniforms of the Illinois Sesotuicentennial, commemor atinc 150 years of statehood in 1968. Ironically, it may be another 150 years before Ed Munzel s prediction comes true.

Mr KtmfaSt X would lilcc to discuss wllh yon another facet of employee prac tices in the business world. I am concerned that if I were to choose business as a career, interoffice politics and seniority bottlenecks would have a considerable effect on my chances for promotion. in one company, I worked in conjunction with a two-man department which had a serious personality conflict The superior; who had been with the company for twenty years, did practically CO work and, in fact, due to the evolution of his department's responsibilities, was not really capable of performing his job. His underling, who was quite capable, did all the work which was then passed through the superior for signing. Although the underling had complained to the management about this inequity, they could find no real excuse to fire the superior and had no good idea as to where to relocate him until he was eligible for retirement Their philosophy Was to let them fight it out; after all, the two-man department was getting the job done, so the status quo might as weU be preserved. I agree that this would be a thorny problem for any personnel manager or executive, but nevertheless I left the company feeling as if I would run a high risk of spending time caught in a person ality log-jam like that one if I were to seek permanent employment with them. Am I being naive to think that I would have my potential recognized more quickly in a professional occupation? Equivalently, what role does politics play in rising to the top in the business world?

This is the twelfth in a continuing aeries of dialogues in progress during the school year between students at four leading universities and Robert W. Galvin, Motorola Chairman. "The Dialogue is an open discussion," Mr. Galvin says, "and I welcome comments from anyone interested in improving communications between the campus and the business world." The students dialoguing with Mr. Galvin are: Barbara Caulfield, Northwestern University; Ralph Kimball, Stanford University; Fred Sayre, University of Arizona; and Paul George Sittenfeld, Princeton University. Send your letters to Robert W. Galvin, Motorola lac, 9401 W. Grand Avenue, Franklin Park, Illinois, 60131. Certainly your chances for promotion in business could bt jeopardized by interoffice politics, just as they could in many other career fields. Ona hears of this type of thing, constantly in governmental departments, for example, and it certainly is not unknown in educational institutions. I am sure, too, that it exists in soma hospitals, as well as in large law firms. But one shouldn't judge the whole library by a few poor books. A person who feel bis abilities and potential are being ignored in his chosen career should speak up to those) on higher levels of responsibility. i uis is pernaps easier in KnpIoyee-reTations-conscIous business than in some other fields In business, as in other progressive fields, higher positions art) usually filled by promotions from within. Consequently, it i very poor policy and bad business for a corporation's management and professional employee relations people to ignore or deliberately pass over really valuable talent Most companies do not do it; the few where such bad practices may still be prevalent lose, in the long run, far more than do the individuals to whom they deny deserved promotions. Fat the mdividuals will soon realize the situation and leave'for other positions where their capabilities and talents will be recognized. The companies where these poor policies survive" will soon be in trouble because of a shortage of talented, knowledgeable management people. Nepotism, favoritism, discrimination do exist, rafartunately. although most of today's dynamic corporations are taking vigorous steps to clean house and rid themselves of such, pettiness and poor practices. Meaningful summer employment programs for college student can help undergraduates determine for themselves to what extent these poor policies exist in companies where they accept summer jobs. I am glad you had the experience you did yoti now have direct knowledge of the kind of company you wouldn't want to work for. Companies should be carefully evaluated and investigated before anyone accepts a position. Tbj company will interview you you should interview and question it for evidence of just such practices as you describe. However, I do not believe, Ralph, that you would run any greater risk of "personality log-jams" in business than in tht) professions or in government. I wish tiiat more students would keep open minds regarding business, as you have throughout our dialogue, and apply their thoughtful questioning attitudes to the task of exploring all th facts about business instead of condemning it without real knowledge. Sincerely, Chairman, Motorola inc. t)MlWlt
