Question: Do you think the unionization of professors would increase their professionalism and educational expertise to
Capitol Campus students? Feature by Mark Feldman - Photography Editor
Jill Mason Bth term
Business
Unionization of
professors would cause
them to feel more secure in
their jobs, and therefore
could make them become lax
in the performance of their
duties.

No, because if they
Know \hev won’t get ttred,
they really won’t care.
Greg Weigle 12th term

Unionization is still a
very uncertain issue. I can’t
say for sure, but I think
professors should be given
the right to collective
bargaining.
John M. Jones Asst
Professor
No, I feel the

sionalism and expertise. A
union, if it could go into the
classroom, would take away
the autonomy that instruc
tors presently have and
would inject another force
into the student teacher
relationship, thus, forcing
teachers to bend and fit into
a mold that is unable to cope
with the small day to day
problems faced in the
classroom. There would be
too much control by an
outside agent.
Wm. Kane Bth term
Humanities
I do not see how the
professor could change after
he has unionized. Their job
of instructing students
would not change whether
they were in a union or not.
If they feel they should
unionize, it makes no
difference to me, unless
their attitude in a classroom
would change so as to not to
teach as well.
Patty Stanchak Bth term
Humanities
No, I do not think that
unionization would enhance
a professor’s professiona
lism or expertise. Teaching
is a personal experience that
can not be related to in the
way that a steelworker
relates to his ingots.
Unionization might lead to a
happier professor by way of
increased benefits and job
security, but I don’t think it
would make a better
professor.

No, because unions
would insure job security
which we feel would
decrease incentives and lead
to a decrease in quality
education.
Smoke Gets In
Your Eyes
Dixie Grace, new counsel
or here, has started an
informal group for students
who wish to cut down on
cigarette smoking.
The group meets every
Thursday at 3:00 p.m. in the
Gallery Lounge. They offer
mutual support and encour
agement.
Anyone interested is
urged to attend. Anyone who
has quit smoking and would
deliver a pep talk is doubly
welcome.
