It is one oi the best things that will come out oi the strike." It has been the policy of the College in the past “not to prohibit the right of any employee to consult dis rectly on matters oi labor re lations with any ember oi the College adm' istration.” Tllis statement appeared in a memo sent from the Adminisn tratlon to employees last Nor Vember. The memo outlined the altcmativcs employees had just beiore they petitioned the College to hold a referendum to determine whether they wished to he represented by the Teamsters. Some striking B&G workers believed that they were and are in danger oi being fired because of their recent activ7 ities. The College has stated in official memorandums to the B8tG workers that, “Whatever your own views about unioni— zation are, the College assures you that you will not be penal- ized it you wish to join a union, that you will not be rewarded it you do not wish to join a union; in short. you are free to take any position yoti wish on the matter." l-las Mr, llziwii himself been guilty or threatening workers with loss of Job or of promotion because oi their union activ- ities? Mary Andes, linen super- visor {or South Campus, said she believed not. “In fact, Mr, Hawn lias leaned over back- wards."

Mr. Hawn did not. do this. She feels there may have been some legitimate grievances. but that these have been blown largely out or proportion, partr ly, she thought, because oi agitation by students. She was not approached to join the union, since she is a supervisor, but she would not have joined it she had been approached. “Compared to other jobs in the community, this one pays well both in wages and in fringe benefits." Some 3&0 workers, again, seem to believe that Mr. Hawn is or was planning to remove or had threatened to remove certain fringe benefits which the workers have been receiv- SCARLET AND BLACK mg. The greatest of these is the provision which allows the chilr dren oi those who have been employed by the College for 3 years or more to attend Grin- iiell College tuition tree. This, and other lringe benelits, are set tlowii in the College’s em ployee guidebook. It should be noted that lltiwn himself has not the power to change any lienciits granted in this book He is not ever consulted on such questions. Another complaint about Mr. llawn arises from the tact that in some job classifications, people doing the same job are receiving a different wage. Some workers see this as a way [or Mr. Hawn to reward iavor- lies. According to Mr. l-lawn. when the current wage sched- ule was about to go into eitect, he worked out the general wage structure and then sub- mitted these guidelines to the working toremen for their rec- ommendations. “I wanted the employees to have a say in this, I took their recommenda- tions," Hawn pointed out that the discrepancy between high- est and lowest wage within a class is not more than 15c exr cept in the cases at mechanics. Most, but not all, of the in» mdrs about Mr. Hawn appear groundless, but it is perahps understandable why they arose.

A Grinnell business man, Mr, Chuck DeLong, of tile Grinnell class of 193i, who feels that he may represent the establishment in Grinnell fairly well, said that Wilhelm’s actions fascmate him. Looking at Wilhelm from a kind at psychoanalytical viewpoint, he sees wilhclm, who came irorn a broken home, as “probably venting hostility on the world." Wilhelm, Mr DeLong said, is upsetting many things 7 for example, the relationship be tween the college and alumni who are potential donors. “Very possibly, his actions could be construed as a cry for help," Mr. DeLong said, “and I just wish someone was smart enough to give us an answer." Mr, DeLong added that he takes his hat ott to most of the young people who are rebelling at the hypocrisy of the establishmenl, and he thinks that “these youngsters have a great chance to prove that bigotry and ignorance are synonymous.” Anolher local businessman who asked thathis naine notbe quoted For One Week, Apri 17-24 EMPHASIS 905 Main Will Give You 10% Off On All Regularly Priced Merchandise When You Bring in This Ad Page Seven said ihal “the way he rWilhclmi carries on is deiinitely a disgrace to the community " "We businessmen," he said, ”try lo sell the name ‘Grinnell,’ and its loo had that the college has the reputation that ii docs."

George Apostle, a college professor who {eels that his opinions are inirly rcpi-cseniative of townspeople, said that he thinks Wilhelm has a mission in life to change society and its morality Mr. Apostle said: “This is a small town, the people have their own morality and are salisiiied with it, and Mr. Wilhelm would do better to respect it and not try to change it or influence it or impose his own morality." Another Grinnell businessman, a Grinnell College graduate who feels that he has a liberal point of View anol probably represents the feelings of graduates oi the college, said that he ieels that Wilhelm is probably a brilliant young man, Judging from the (act that he was able to put out a newspaper. e He said that he reels that it does not hurt anyone to read or listen to that kind of thing that was in Pierodnctyl; aclualiy, he icels that Wilhelm was “digging his own grave” by putting out Pici-oiiactyl.
