Steel Strike Intervention Draws Near PITTSBURGH (/P) Steel negotiators despaired yester day of a strike peace pact on the eve of President Eisen hower’s apparent deadline for government intervention un der the Taft-Hartley Act. President David J. McDonald of the United Steelworkers Un ion, saying a negotiated settle ment seemed hopeless, sent the union’s 170-man Wage Policy Committee home. The group would have to approve any new contract. The on-and-off negotiations were again suspended with no further meetings in prospect to end- the crippling 85-day .strike, worst in steel history. Neither the industry nor un- Registration Plan Studied Students may soon be registering three months before classes start—and without ever going to Recreation Hall. Robert' G. Bernreuter, special assistant to the president for student affairs, said the pre-registration system for all students has been under study for several years. He said efforts were being made to remove some of the bad points from the system,) which is modeled' after one now in effect at Purdue University. j As Bernreuter explained the system, a student would file his choice of courses the se mester before he plans io fake them. When all the choices had been filed the requests would be turned over to a battery of electronic machines. It falls to the machines to ac-j complish the herculean task of scheduling the students. Sections will be provided certain hours for a certain course and the sched uling process itself will be auto matic. Once a student’s course choices have been filled the machines will automatically print up copies of his schedule. Tiiey will then be distributed, without the help of machines, to the students and ad visors. Bernreuter said Ihe system ai Purdue worked for about 90 per cent of the students. They re ceived the courses they chose withoul any conflicting hours. However, and this is the reason for the delay in starting the sys tem. "the other 10 per cent of the students got really messed up programs,” Bernreuter said. He explained further that spe cific requests for classes at cer tain hours would be filed at the same time as the" course choices. He said lhal in the ultimate system no section would be planned until, all choices were in. Then the machines would compute the available faculty for a course, the number of stu | dents requesting the course and | possible conflicts with other courses scheduled at the same hour. It would be up to the machines to open additional sections as needed and close unnecessary ones. Bernreuter said a student who received a class at an unwanted hour could change his schedule by the present drop-add system. The drop-add system could also be used for changing courses after the start of the semester. He said a problem existed with freshmen and other stu dents attending the University for the first time. "The large numb e r of freshmen who change curriculums after they are accepted makes it almost impossible to preregisier them," he said. However, Bernreuter said it would be possible for all these students to register under the present system at Recreation Hall. “The new system,” he said, “would save most-of the time now spent during registration and would loosen up the calendar.” ion would budge from its stands after a "summit meeting" be tween McDonald and top in dustry executives got nowhere Tuesday night. Eisenhower said a week ago he wanted a settlement by the time he returns to Washington today from a rest trip in Palm Springs, Calif. McDonald said that if Eisen hower invokes the Taft-Hartley Act and seeks to stop the strike for 80 days under a court in junction, the. USW will fight the injunction attempt in the courts. “But if an injunction is issued, the United Steelworkers of Amer ica will obey the law of the land,” the union chief said. McDonald said the union still wants Eisenhower to steer clear of Taft-Hartley and, instead, name By JEFF POLLACK Holler Will Ask Larger Gift Booth Theodore Haller Senior Class president and chairman of the Class Gift Committee, will recommend to the Student Government Association As sembly that next year’s class gift drive have a larger booth at registration for collections. Haller will make his report on this year’s drive at SGA Assem bly at 8 tonight in 203 Hetzel Union Building. He will also recommend that more publicity be given to ihe drive next yean possibly through an article in the Stu dent Handbook. The total amount contributed and pledged at registration was $7837,65. The total collected from this year’s senior class was $1503.50. The University will contribute $2 for every $1 of this amount, trip ling the original collection. The class of 1961 contributed $1481,50. This amount will be matched by the University. The class of 1962 contributed $1806.15; the class of 1963, $3020.- 50; and the class of 1964, $26.00. In another report, Ben Bron stein, editor of the 1959 Student Handbook, will recommend that selling the handbooks be con tinued next yeai. In pievious years the handbooks were dis tributed without charge to fresh men and transfer students. Bronstein said that a $642.99 profit was made on this year's handbook sale, in comparison with last year's loss of $389.71. Bronstein will also recommend that a higher grade paper be used next year for better repro duction of pictures and that sev eral new articles be added, as suggested in the 1959 Student Encampment. These may include articles about the Alumni Asso ciation and the Senior Gift. Marketing Club to Hold First Meeting Tonight The first Marketing Club meet ing of the year will be held.at 7:30 tonight at Beta Theta Pi. The personnel director of Gable’s Department Store in Al toona will speak on the operation of a department store and the job opportunities in this type of organization. a public fact-finding board to rec ommend settlement terms. He said it would end the historic dis pute more quickly and fairly. Eisenhower, however, has ex pressed distaste for McDon ald's plan unless the industry joins the union in supporting it. Under the T-H law, an inquiry board would merely report strike facts without suggesting a solution. The strike has idled 500,000 di rectly in the basic steel industry and some 200,000 indirectly in oth er industries,-and the steel short age is growing rapidly. McDonald,. after a 25-minute meeting with his policy group, minimized the industry contract offer. He stressed again that the union is willing to settle on the basis of the same degree of eco nomic gain as contained in the ex- Ipirated 1956 contract.
