B—The Daily Collegian Friday, Dee. 5,198 G USX challenges PITTSBURGH (AP) - USX Corp. told members of the United Steel workers union yesterday that union negotiators are more interested in aiding other troubled steelmakers than in reaching a settlement to a 12G day-old work stoppage. •‘ls not now the the time to ask yourself, after four months of strike, why the international union refuses to accept better wages and benefits for you than it accepted from your major competitors?” wrote J. Bruce Johnston, chief USX negotiator, to employees of USX’s USS steel divi sion. A USW spokesman said the letter, mailed to about 45,000 company em ployees including union and manage ment, was a study in “distortion, omission and error.” The union particularly. took issue with Johnston’s claim that the USW refused to offer USX a competitive settlement and broke off talks. The union has proposed mediators be engaged to help settle the dispute. The union has adopted a negotiat ing policy of granting concessions only to companies that can demon strate they are in poor financial shape. USW negotiators are also angry because USX, unlike several other major steel producers, has refused to open its books to union auditors. ★ ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ J PSMA CHRISTMAS PARTY J : TICKETS ON SALE t ★ call 234-8544 * ★ $6.00/ticket * ★ Tickets are also available to members ★ and guests at the door. t F tf2' P D m c : s Gatsby’s- J * Holiday Dress Please! m3o * ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ ■ ■ ■ ■■■■■■■ bj Why doesn't Hi-way Pizza deliver?

Recently, however, this practice has created controversy at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, when student government leaders called an lUP professor unethical and accused him of requiring his text book for his own profit. At Penn State, however, profes sors differ on the ethical implica tions of requiring their own textbooks. “I don’t think it’s unethical if one contributes the royalties to some educational or nonprofit organiza tion,” said Edward Keynes, a pro fessor of political science who uses a textbook he co-edited for one of his political science courses. However, he added, “I don’t think there ought to be a profit in writing one’s own textbook.” Carol Cartwright, dean of under graduate instruction and vice pro vost, said using one’s own textbook is “perfectly appropriate.” Although not all faculty authors require their books for their courses, many professors use them as primary or supplementary read ing sources in class, said Norm Brown, Penn State Bookstore text book specialist. This semester, about 45 textbooks were written by University staff, Brown said. Many University professors do nate a percentage of their profits to universities. History Professor Arthur Gold schmidt Jr. follows this practice.

Goldschmidt, now working on the third edition of the 7-year-old book, said he receives royalties from the sales each year. But he contributes the profits he makes from the book’s sale at the University to a special fund, which will eventually go toward student trips to the Mid dle East. Although he does not use his own text, Keynes similarly donates the profits from the book he co-edited to another university. John Dalbor, professor of Span 9:00 p.m. 3:30 p.m. ish, said it is common for professors to publish textbooks and not donate the royalties to the University. But he added: “The main motiva tion is never just to make money because in a lot of cases you don’t. The main motivation is thinking that you can do something better.” He said he decided to write a book because the materials he used were inadequate. Goldschmidt said textbook writ ing “is not a way of making an academic reputation.” Professors are often looked down upon for writing texts because they’re geared for the layman and break no new ground, he said. Goldschmidt said he was com pelled to write a book because the text he was using when he first began teaching was outdated. Like Dalbor, he began using his own mimeographed material for two years before writing a textbook. Cartwright said the selection of textbooks for classes is “basically a faculty matter.” She explained that some depart ments have committees to deter mine the books for basic courses with many sections, but otherwise a professor is free to choose any ap plicable textbook.
