The Urban (‘ounty (‘ouncil strayed from

The firefighters themselves had mixed
reactions to the committee.

“it there's something in this resolution
that will be a vehicle to get to the point
where we have an agreeable resolution.
there may be merit to it.“ said- Michael
Lass. representative of the national
firefighters union.

"IF ’I‘IIEIHI'S a sentence. a phrase or a
comma that would give us negotiations.
then we're prepared to take advantage of
it," Lass said

Btit Jasper and a Local 526 official
disagreed. predicting the council‘s action
would do nothing to settle the strike.

Collective
bargaining
inevitable

The Lexington L'rban (,‘ounty
(‘ouncil‘s action of Thursday night
establishing a reconciliation
committee to negotiate with striking
firefighters is a minute step in the
right direction.

It is so minute that it almost
appears to be another stalling action
on the part of the council. We hope the
council will reverse its position of
adamantly opposing recognition of

 

Local [him .326 as collective
bargaining agent for Lexington
firefighters.

As it stands right now in Lexington.
firefighters i and all public employeSi
are at the mercy of the L'rban County
Council The council does not have to
bargain with firefighters if it does not
wish.

The collective bargaining proposal
submitted by Local 526 calls for
binding arbitration in the event of an
impasse. This would entail calling in
a federal arbitrator to study the
demands of both sides and then issue
a settlement This settlement would
be binding on the employer and the
union.

When Third District Councilman
Joe Jasper moved on Sept. 24 that the
council recognize Local 526 as
collective bargaining agent. the
motion died for lack of a second. This
refusal to recognize the union led to
the present firefighters' strike.

The council‘s recalcitrance is hard
to understand in light of several
members‘ indicating support of the
Fraternal Order of Police‘s rFOPi
decision to seek collective bargaining
"ights. These same members refused
'0 support recognition of the
‘irefighters' union.

They cite the FOP‘s intention to
'iring specific grievances before the
"ouncil and the “orderly. legal
nanner" in which the POP has acted
is the reasons why they can support
~ollective bargaining for policemen.
.‘et not for firefighters.

This reasoning only camouflages
he issue.

Whether or not
iresent specific grievances is
.uperfluous to the granting of
‘ollective bargaining rights. and the
.. ouncil members made it obvious that
to amount of “orderly. legal" actions
.y firefighters will change their
iinds.

()ne firefighter summed up the
'rustration of the union‘s efforts to
:ain recognition. saying. "We had to
trike. If you corner any animal. he's
,oing to fight. We were down to the
ast straw."

The council should realize that
nionization of public employes is
. ievitable. Firefighters unions have
[ready won recognition as collective
argaining agents in Louisville.

Letters to the editor

Dr. Gerald Rosenthal‘s letter to
the student body (Kernel. Sep-
tember 26i explains the critical
points involved in the contro~
versy with Student Government's
note-taking project.

I would add only a student‘s
opinion tempered by my enroll-
ment in Dr. Rosenthal's BIO 200

class during the fall. 1973.
At best. SG‘s

personal notes are available. If a
word-for-word copy is needed due
to an absence from class. Ms.
Hakim. the laboratory instructor.
has full class notes for every
lecture available for copying.
Especially under these cir-
cumstances. the SG project
becomes presumptuous or per-
haps even belligerent by standing
between professors and students
when no need is demonstrated.
On the contrary. the professor
and this student) have feelings
opposed to the project. I suggest
that Student Government forget
the legal rights involved and
thank Dr. Rosenthal for at least
one large lecture class with a
robust. creative intellect at work.

Rhetoric weakens position

By (I JOSEPH GREENE

l)r \l' S Krogdahl's article t“(‘apital—
isiii vs Socialism: A View From the
ltight'W in Wednesday‘s Kernel (lis-
ltlt‘l)t‘(l me I am not disturbed over l)r.
Krogdahl’s advocacy ot capitalism over
socialism. since l am not unaltcrably
committed to either system. but rather
by the rhetorical devices through which
he detendcd llt.\ stance and attacked his
opponents Since I have just completed
teaching the logic component of
Freshman ('oiiiposition 102 to two
classes. In Krogdahl's offenses against
this article hit me at a
particularly sensitive tune.

The main otlense
o\ersiinplitication. especially in its
lumping together of “socialism" with the
llllt‘tlllt'l‘t‘lllt‘d abstraction "commun-
isiii." as it socialism were one indivisible
entity which was exactly equal. in all its
inanitcstations to another

logic in

article's was

indi\ isible

entity communism

(ll'll.'l‘ BY ASSUCIATION occurs in
the article in such sections as the
equation of Hitler's brand of socialism to
the kinds espoused by Ms. Weeks and Mr.
l’elle. or in the relation of war crimes
ascribed to “Communist-led" guerillas
in Angola. Also. if the latter atrocity
story is true. then Dr. Krogdahl‘s use of it
amounts to a gross and hasty
generalization.

Dr. Krogdahl shows that he is not
above name calling by use of “the boobs
on the barricades." nor does he avoid
stereotyping: “(‘ollectivist Weeks” mind-
less Marxist analysis is the typical leftist
inverted view of things.“

And the use of figurative language in
this article is equally suspect. Two
examples are: “jackboot totalitarian
toreign rule" and “creeping and covert
socialism." Such misuse of figurative
language. intended to appeal to the
readers” fears and hates rather than
their reason. can only distort the real
issues

ANOTHER MAJOR FAL‘LT is the lack
of trustworthiness in some of the
authorities that Dr. Krogdahl cites to
support his view. The “former Commun-
ist“ and the “former socialist" he would
have us rely on are clearly not objective
sources of information. If I may use an
analogy to clarify my objection, would
one go to John Dean for an objective
evaluation of Richard Nixon and his
administration?

1 also doubt whether two others of
Krogdahl‘s authorities — J. Edgar
Hoover and Eugene Lyons — will bear up
under critical scrutiny. J. Edgar Hoover
was so preoccupied with the real or
supposed threat of Communist subver-
sion in America that for many years he
refused to acknowledge even the
existence of organized crime and its
threat to us.

Mr. Hoover's administration of the FBI
hardly qualifies him as a valid voice
against the establishment of any “police
state.“ and his own rhetorical onslaughts
against Communism do not increase his
credibility. He states for example: “An
informed citizenry. alert to guard our
heritage. will guarantee strengthened
sinews and heightened resolve that our

godless communist slavery." (This
Hooverism is quoted by Ray Kytle in his
(‘lear Thinking for Composition as an
example of the “illegitimate use of
abstract words")

EL'GENE LYONS. the ”author and
editor" whom Krogdahl quotes. is a
former editor of Readers Digest. a
magazine more noted for its popular
appeal than its political objectivity.
Readers Digest is also notable for its
militant anti-Communism and consistent
upholding of capitalism and the free
enterprise system.

Although the Nixon administration
never attacked this kind of media bias.
Readers Digest's editorial policies,
including deliberate. repeated selection
of pro-capitalism articles. is no standard
for any kind of journalistic objec‘ivity.
nor can its former editor be considered
an objective spokesman on the issues Dr.
Krogdahl's article raises.

One may legitimately question
whether a teaching assistant can hope to
instill respect for logical. persuasive
argumentation in his or her students
when a man of Dr. Krogdahl‘s position in
our university sets such a bad example
before our eyes.

MY APPROACH HERE has been to
point out that such specific abuses as
oversimplification. guilt by assomation.
unconcretized abstractions. name call-
ing. misuse of figurative language. hasty
generalizations. and reliance on untrust-
xvorthy authorities undermine the
cret’libility of any writer.

lli‘ Krogdahl‘s substitution of illogical
rhetoric for reasonable argumentation
seems to be the predominant choice
among persons ot all political persua
sions to the extent that I am somewhat
eiiibai'i'asscd to single hitii out tor

Lois lane provides a
look into Superman

By JOSEPH STONE
Special to the Kernel

Noel Neill. Superman's Lois
Lane, brought nostalgia to a
generation that grew up watching
her serials on television.

Many happy faces watched
Superman films and listened to
her when she appeared at the
Student Center Grand Ballroom
this week.

NEILI. STARTED working up
the Lois Lane character even
before she heard of Clark Kent or
Perry White, She worked on the
Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

Then one summer Bing Crosby
signed her to sing at the Del Mar
’l‘urf (‘lub in Del Mar. Calif.

“George was a private-type
person," Neill said. “He didn’t go
to parties or night clubs. He was
always afraid of making personal
appearances as Superman be-
cause some little kid with a gun
could shoot him. And you can‘t
really blame George for being
worried because little kids really
believed in Superman.“

“When George would walk on
the set in his Superman outfit his
eyes would be kind of glazed. I
don‘t know whether he was
embarrassed or just what it was.
but I guess being an actor and
having done some good parts he
probably felt a little squeamish
about it."

 

George was a private-type person. He didn‘t
go to parties or night clubs. He was always
afraid of making personal appearances as
Suerman because some little kid with a gun

could shoot him."

 

It wasn't long until she signed a
contract with Paramount Studios
and appeared in several movies
such as “Gentlemen Prefer
Blondes“ and “Greatest Show on
Earth."

IN 1948 SHE played Lois Lane
for the first time in the original
stage productions.

When the first television Lois
Lane quit after 26 episodes in
1953, Neill portrayed Lois once
again and continued in the series
until 1959.

The series ended when George
Reeves (Superman) died in 1959
from a gunshot wound. Neill said
there were “many conflicting
stories" about the death. Many
people believe it was suicide.

“THERE WERE STRANGE
people in the house that night who
were not personal friends of
)eorge." she said.

“It wasn‘t investigated well,
and a lot of questions were left
unanswered,” she added. “His
mother didn‘t believe it was
suicide. It was left hanging in the
air and then all of a sudden it was
very quiet about the subject."

Many children in her neighbor-
hood were upset and asked how
could Superman shoot himself.
she said.

AFTER REEVES DIED the
show‘s producers never renewed
it even though there were scripts
ready.

SHE ADDED THAT the part
was very difficult to play and
Reeves was very serious about
the part and made the character
believable.

The sponsor of the Superman
series was very strict about the
content of the movies concerning
violence and romance, Neill said.
They would have to approve of
the movie before releasing since
the audience was mostly chil-
dren,

Lois Lane was kissed by
Superman only once, and that
was in a dream.

BEFORE HER SHOW business
debut at the Del Mar Turf Club,
Neill had no acting experience.
She didn‘t even get cast in high
school productions in Minneapo-
lis where she grew up.

After the Superman serials she
worked for an auctioneering
company in Los Angeles where
she now lives.

She has spent the last two years
making personal appearances at
college campuses with a show
that consists of two Superman
films. a short talk. a question and
answer period, and a skit with
volunteer students.

After her speech here. there
was a reception in the President‘s
Room in the Student Center. One
fan told Neill that he kissed the
TV screen when Lois Lane
appeared as a kid and so he
wanted to do the “real thing.“

After he kissed her. she
said. “You see, that‘s why I enjoy
college 7* nice young boys."
