PAGE EIGHT Union Leader Lauds AFL-CIO Merger Roderick MacDonald, international representative of the Building Service Employees Union (AFL), said that he felt the AFL-CIO mer ger would be a “wonderful arrangement,” in a speech to the Penn State Young Republican Club Thursday night. “Between the conservatism of Meany (AFL) and the liberalism of Reuther (CIO) there should be a pretty good balance,” he said. In answer to a question from the audience, MacDonald said that he believed the AFL-CIO would take a more definite stand on foreign policy in the future. He also felt that the AFL-CIO would develop a new educational program in an attempt to educate the voter. Pride in Movement MacDonald also spoke of his pride in the labor movement. He compared Samuel Gomphers, who from humble beginnings had grown to be one of labor’s giants, to the rise of the labor movement from relatively “nothing.” He said that at one time newspapers, churches, and other organizations were violently against labor unions. “I can remember when my dad worked in a lumber plant,” Mac- Donald said. “He took off his boots because of the blisters on his feet. A union card dropped out of them, and he got fired. But everyone’s organized today.” MacDonald felt, too, that peo ple are overplaying the danger of communism in the United States. ‘Tm from Wisconsin,” he said, “where they have a lot of cheese and Senator McCarthy.” MacDon ald said he thought that we have glorified communism by talking about it too much. He said that they had been fighting Commun ists in the AFL before many on the self-styled Red fighters of to day. “There are not as many crooks in the labor movement as people believe,” MacDonald said. “There will always be crooks among peo ple—people make mistakes. That’s why they put rubbers on pencils.” To Help Local MacDonald’s main purpose in being at the University now is to help the Local 417 union establish a better relationship between Uni versity employees and manage ment. "In many ways,” he said, “this University is paternal, kindly toward its workers.” However, he feels the University would get better quality work done if they “started paying some money.” Kenneth Dixon, president of Local 417, and George Smith, sec retary of Local 417, gave some opening comments at the meet ing. During the business meeting of the Young Republican Club, an amendment to the constitution was passed stating that any interested person, including faculty, staff, and graduate students, may be come a member of the club.

But reportedly he has repeatedly refftsed to be considered as a candidate. Speculators have it Lieske is solely interested in running for the presidency of the Associ ation of Independent Men. He is secretary of AIM. Lieske would not be eligible for the All-University presi dency, being an independent, but, depending on the elections committee’s final decision, may be eligible for the top senior > class position. Earl Seely, sixth semester electrical engineering major, seems to be a sure office seeker. He is now junior class president, having stepped in to the office after John Thali mer, who was junior class president, left the University for academic reasons. There is greater speculation about which party Seely will run for than whether he will run. Rumor has it that the newly-created Campus party has the inside track. Seely, who served four years in the Navy, was chairman of the Junior Prom and Junior Week, is in Androcles, junior men’s hat society, was vice sophomore clique chairman for the Lion party, is Tau Kappa Epsilon’s Interfraternity Coun cil representative, and has been active in the IFC. Vernon Sones, sixth semes ter forestry major, also has been approached by campus WHAT’S THIS? For solution see paragraph below. IN THE DARK about which cigarette to smoke? Take a hint from the Droodle above, titled: Two searchlight crews, one asleep, one enjoying better-tasting Luckies. Your search is over when you light up a Lucky. You’ll find out why col lege smokers prefer Luckies to all other brands, as shown by the latest, greatest college survey. Once again, the No. 1 reason: Luckies taste better. They taste better, first of all, because Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco is toasted to taste better. “Ifs Toasted the famous Lucky Strike process—tones up Luckies’ light, good-tasting tobacco to make it taste even better . . . cleaner, fresher, smoother. So, enjoy the better tasting cigarette . . . Lucky Strike. &i taste Luckies... .VANIA politicians. Some unofficial sources claim that Sones is not interested in seeking any of fice. Sones is well-known, is pres ident of Androcles hat society, is Acacia’s Interfraternity Council representative, is chair man of Greek Week, heads next fall’s Orientation Week Program, is a member of the enn State Forestry Society, and was vice-clique chairman of the State party junior class clique. Being a forestry major, Sones has one quality which used to be regarded as essential tc po litical success at the University. At one time it was a campus political axiom that at least one candidate on the slate had to be enrolled in the College of Agriculture if the party were to win. These are the five names around whom speculation has been revolving. It seems a sure bet that some of them will ap pear on the ballot next month. Every year there are some “dark horse” candidates, per sons who hadn’t been con sidered but who suddenly ap pear as strong candidates. This very well may be the case this year. Thus, the above list is by no means complete.
