HAPPY EASTER! ★ . ★ VOL. II BUFFALO, NEW YORK APRIL 11. 1949 No. 18 ICON. DEP'T TO BE RATED FIRST Fried Withdraws U.E.W. Support from UB Industrial Symposium; Points Out Unfair Representation of Labor News The withdrawal of Emmanuel Fried, United ElectriGal Workers’ representative, from the UB symposium on in dustrial relation last Friday, may serve as a “kiss of death” to the atmosphere of impartiality which the spon sors of the conference have attempted to create; Mr. Fried, when he consented to membership in the Advisory Com mittee for the Symposium, seemed to have been under the impression that he and the rest of the Com mittee would be consulted on im portant decisions relating to the S 3 rmposium. “I resigned from an Advisory Committee whose advice was never asked ” Mr. Fried said. “The first time I learned of the schedule of speakers was when I received a printed program.” It was Mr. Fried*s belief that he had no other choice but to remove the endorse ment of his Union from a SymjX)- sium which, he felt, was “biased in favpp of views of Management.” Bfr. Fried's basic objection was directed toward the .selection of the main speakers who, he said, “would direct the central tone of the meeting. Mr. Fried claimed that the keynote speaker for Man- agment, Virgil Day, “represented a company whose policy w;as ex treme in opposition to the fourth roimd wage increases and in ad vocacy of the Taft-Hartley Law.” Mr, Fried felt that the keynote speaker for Unions, Mr. Barkm, was the representative of a Union which was kindly disposed toward the views of Management in this respect, and not truly representa tive of Labor and Unions in gen eral. “Mr. heo Jandreau, district pres ident of the UJC.W. and chairman of the Wage Conference Board of General Electric Workers, would have been a much fairer choice than Mr. Barkin to represent the Union viewpoint. As the situation now stands, there is a definite un balance in the policies of the Sym posium leaders —an unbalance in favor of employers’ views,” Mr. Pried said. When questioned about U.E.W. man James DeWald’s presence on the list of supplementary speakers,^ Mr. FVied replied, “Our Union functions according to democratic procedure and Mr. DeWald, as a rank and file member, is perfectly to participate in any meeting of any composition. On the other hand, I represent my Union in an official capacity and my actions may be interpreted as those of the UJ:.W.” Mr. Fried d^lined a later invi tation by Mr. Ertell, acting chair man of the UB Department of In dustrial Relations, to participate in a panel discussion on the grounds that sudr participation may be construed as an endorsement of the Symposium and yet would not significantly alter the basic tone of the proceedings. The ARGUS was unable to reach Bfr. Ertell for the University view of Ihe matter. Profs Can Promote Vacations With Pay An opportunity for a highly agreeable summer, both socially and financially, has been present ed to the male Faculty Members of UB by the Martin Travel Bureau in New York. The Gotham organ ization conducts guided tours each summer to the National Parks, the Canadian Rockies and the Pacific Northwest a'nS is now looking for \higher tSTie gentlemen” to act as tour escorts. The main duty of the tour escort is to supervise all details of the trip such as transfers, hotel reser vations, handling of baggage and tipping. In addition to these tech nical duties, the escort is expected to have a well balanced cheerful personality which will serve to keep the morale of his “flock” on a high plane. In payment for these services, the tour guide receives $7.00 a day in addition to completely paid ex penses. Previous experience for these tour escorts is not necessary, though preferred, and the ideal age desired is between 30 and 50, thou#i, again, this is not manda tory. The escort can make up .to three tours during the summer with a week at home intervening between trips. This, coupled with the fact that the tours begin and end in nearby New York .City, should make the position even more attractive to Buffalo resi dents. All male faculty members who are interested should consult the Personnel Office in Hayes. There will be a meeting of the ARGUS Staff Tuesday at 2:30 pjn. Model Seder Held By Hillel model Seder sponsored by Hillel Foundation was attended by fifty UB and State Teacher’s Col lege students. Rabbi Justin Hoffman, advisor to the UB Hillel group, opened the service by briefly relating the his tory of the Seder ritual and ex plaining the significance of the va rious foods used. Jack Lenzer, Ju lius Brodsky and Milton Alter then- conducted the observance in the customary manner. Hymn singing was led by Mr. Lenzer and portions of the Hagadah were read by Mr. Alter and Mr. Brodsky with responsive readings by mem bers of the group. A token meal followed the main service with the group singing traditional Hebrew songs before concluding with a final benediction. Chairman Harvey Schiller was assisted by members of Hillel and a large representation from Sigma Alpha Mti fraternity in making all the preparations. Capen Names New Prof, Assistants Apointment of Dr.^Glyndon G.

Capen Promises Impartial Hearing In an interview with members of the Athletic Scholarship Commit tee, CTiancellor Capen promised last Mondayr to sulynit the student scholarship petition to the Uni versity of Bufialo Council at their next meeting on April 19th. The Chancellor, by his friendly manner, immediately placed the students at «ease, and expressed a gladness at the opportunity to dis cuss any problems which the com - mittee was concerned with. He said that the University had grown so rapidly of late that he was un able to maintain as close a rela tionship with the students as in previous years. 'Die Chancellor listened with in terest and patience to the argu ments voiced by the committee, and though he was opposed to the principle of athletic scholarships, he said that he would present the student documept to the Council in a completely objective manner. Dr. Cjipen said that the issue has arisen more than once in the past, but never before has an over-all measure of student opinion been effected. “R” DAY NEXT MONDAY 19 Instructors in Econ. Dept, to Be .^ a ly z ^ ; Project to Proceed Despite University Ruling Despite moves made by thfe University Administration to discourage the examination of instructors by students, the program will go into effect one week from today, on Monday, April 25. The following courses and instructors have been selected for this initial survey. Instructors — Beik, Bliss, Cloe, Ertell, Francis, Gray, Hamovitch, Henderson, Kaufman, Mason, Mayer, Mueller, Obletz, Oldman, Peterson, Smith, Staubus, Sumner and Wertimer. Courses (all Economics)—181R, 182, 235R, 305R, 364, 365R, 367R, 461R, 464 and 469R. In all, approx imately 50 course sections will be covered. As a result of the University ruling which prohibits the use of classroom time, the questionnaires will be distributed among the stu dents during the few minutes be tween classes, usually just prior to the class in question. ITie students will-each receive one form which they may fill out after class aiid deposit in the available boxes in the main floor of Crosby Hall. If the expected student coopera- tior- is obtained,. the results will be completely tabulated by TTiurs-' day, April 28 and Will be published in the May 2nd edition of the ARGUS. This is primarily an experimen tal study on the UB Cam^ms, and may be an opening wedge toward the student analysis of all Campus instructors. The ultimate result may be that students will be able to select in structors as well as courses, and will have something to say about the efficiency and popularity of the various teaching methods em ployed at present. In justice to the instructors, it is intended that they be reviewed from semester to semester and the trends and changes noted care fully. There is still an urgent heed for student volunteers to assist in the immediate project. All who are interested should leave their name and phone number in the ARGUS mailbox immediately.
