Communion Sociologist Goes To Top For Data on Steelworkers Jack 'Haas is one sociologist who be lieves in going right to the top—even if it means perching precariously atop a nar row steel girder 21 stories above ground. And for nine months that's exactly what the newly appointed assistant professor of sociology at the University did, collect ing data for his doctoral 'dissertation. The result: a fascinating account of life with the men who construct steel frames for buildings and bridges, entitled, "From Punk to Seale: a Study of High Steel Ironworkers." Instead of sending out questionnaires in the mail, Haas went out himself to see soci ology .as it is. He followed ironworkers at work, he ate with them, drank with them and socialized with them. If it meant climbing the skeleton frame of a new high-rise office building or balanc ing on a steel beam high above ground to talk with one of the men, that's where Haas was. If it meant having a beer with the boys 'at their favorite rough-and-tumble bar, that's where Haas could be found. His purpose was to research the training and induction of new apprentices into iron working. 'Hold on for dear life' "They sort of chuckled when I first asked to go up the steel," recalls Haas, who did his graduate - work at Syracuse Univer sity. "They probably thought I'd be afraid, and I was. I was plenty afraid but what impressed me right away was their seem ing lack of fear on the high steel. Their nonchalance and confidence was contrary to my personal feelings. I wanted to hold on for dear life, They treated the danger as if it didn't exist." Herein lies one of Hans' basic observa tions—that it's an absolute must for th'e iron worker to present a "front" of confidence, skill and fearlessness. To do otherwise, to act _afraid or uncertain, destroys the neces sary trust and confidence workers must have working together in such a dangerous occupation. "Remember," notes Haas, "a mistake may be fatal to one or many. Indicating fear either verbally or physically makes one's actions less trustworthy, even threaten ing." Harass Newcomers Success at "running the iron," is the first test that confronts a new "punk" (appren tice). He doesn't dare "cradle" or "coon" the beam (crawl on all fours like a raccoon), and "seagulling" (walking with arms—wings—. outstretched to maintain balance) is unac ceptable. . Another major test facing the newcomer is his reaction to harassment by older work ers. They constantly tease him, calling him names and questioning his competence and SUNDAY 8:00 a.m. The Holy ComMlinlu4L 9:00 a.m. Morning Worship • Sermon, Church School 10:45 a.m. Morning Worship, Sermon, Church School The Zestful Tradition Henahan Named Science Info Man - John F.

This testing mechanism is one way the group attempts j to predict the neophyte's self-control when he's up on the high steel. "The apprentice's carel _..,., :c s carere is .....__ tied to his ability to make la favorable' repu tation with others," Haas reports. "The most important prerequisite fo l i an apprentice's success is to gain the acre tance and respect of the group." . "Ironworkers as a g l roup control the occupational success of their members." he adds. "They require contihuous demonstra tions of loyalty and trust l'nd behavior con sistent with group expe ftations. Coopera tion and sharing are fore nOst indicators of group loyalty. The group expects its mem bers to share money, info mation about jobs and contractors and way of dealing with outside groups and organi ations." 1 Act Out Expectations Both on the job an off, -ironworkers act out the group's .expe tations and define themselves as different fr m other American males. I , "The dangerous nat re of Their work, according' to their defition and that of Others, leads them to believe they are more courageous and masculUte," Haas writes. "They reinforce this identity in their leisure time. Their hierarchy o interests and be havioral expectations indlude drinking, sex, fighting, demonstratingi k physical strength and endurance and ris taking, notably, motorcycling, gambling,l fast-driving and getting in trouble," At work, ironworker are encouraged /to move from specialty to specialty observing. different career possibilities, But, in spite lot this flethbility and wealth of career infOr mation, fhe Study indicates that ironworkelts do not make long-range career plans, The indeterminancy of the immediate situation— when and NOere new jebs will be found— leads them Ito _focus theft energies on the problems - of finding and staying in work, Haas points out, adding • "They .are aware of the positive and iegative aspects of different career spe ..ialities and realize that with age comes a gradual decline in theittability to "run the iron.' They, prepare foil this eventuality by increasing their skills and knowledge which will allow them work which is less physi cally demanding." Contrary to the stereotype that iron workers are mostly Indian, Haas points out that Indians made up only 20 per cent of the local union he studied. I - "Most of them prefer working at, the top," he said, "perhaps because they feel it demonstrates bravery and courage, as a modern day substitute! for the 'warrior of old." news broadcasts for National Broadcasting Company affili ates and a television documen tary for Chanhel 13 In Pitts burgh.
