Ignorance (in listeners) is bliss
By RON HARTUNG Contributing Writer
How exhilarating it is to talk to someone who knows absolutely nothing about what you're talking about.
Of course each of us has a wardrobe of personalities we keep within easy reach—we slip into one and out of another as the occasion demands. It's conceivable for me to make a dressing room make on Mean Joe Greene might be different from that you'd make on, say, Durward Kirby. You'd try to wow Joe with your pigkin insight, while you'd try to impress Dur with the fact that you'd, well, love you. Durward greene (Durward is fairly easily impressed).
But the picture we're presenting to others is constantly our primary concern. And locked fist-in-glove with it is the indescribable angst that one of our audience may humilize us at any second by calling our conversational bluff.
For example, with a crowd of alleged literary know-nothings you might assume a
Comment
man-of-letters swagger and allow as how you thought John Donne's "To his Coy Mistress" was the quintessential expression of the ever-oonular 'carde darm' theme.
But should a voice from the rabble inquire, "Wasn't that written by Andrew Tolstoy? You've told me bursts, your audience ceases its willingness of disbelief and you're left muttering that, what the heck, you only had one semester of it, and you were sick that
We've all been witness to such deflating experiences, experiences common in the school world. You know that probably in grade school, when one momentous day we learned that Teacher was, indeed, less than omniscient. But there were moments when time-honored dodge for pesky questions:
"Say, that's a good question, Biff. Your project for tomorrow will be to look up the answer in our friend, Mr. Encyclopedia, and what you find to your classmates."
The college professor, on the other hand, usually has Ignorance working in his favor—Ignorance incarnate, that is, seated in each of the desks before him. Early in his career he attended the Lecture and, above all, the Appetite commanding properties of The List.
No matter how much blub he may have spewed for thus far, he need only utter some such wisdom as, "There are five reasons for this phenomenon..." to hear the arresting rattle of ballpoint poised and the comforting ruscie of notebooks being readed to record his every syllable. The student, you see, recognizes the need for nothing else, in his notes and—by thunder—'he's not about to pass an upious objection.'
And as for Herr Professor—we wonder
whether his voice would still have that ring of authority, whether he'd bark his facts out so confidently, if his colleagues, or the book, or Walter Crinkle were in the room.
The student, however, is not always on the receiving end. He, too, toughes his audience shewlys. The philosophy major utters weighty pronouncements around physical education majors that he wouldn't dream of whispering to other philosophers.
It's in The Trip Horne, though, that the calculated Decit is loaded into the big guns and fired. Let's imagine, for instance, that young Sonny has been doing a bit of copy-reading for the school newspaper—a job that shared by, oh, 30 of his fellows.
He's no fool, though, our Sonny. He knows that Mother and Dad don't know how couples can play cards according to the cards accordingly. At the first exclamation of "Gee, Sonny, you're one of the editors of your paper!" he modestly stabs at the "G吞噬, no, Ma, I'm only a copy editor."
But parents will be parents. When Dad introduces him as "Sonny, newspaper editor," he corrects Dad with a hastily mumbled, "Well, not quite the EDITor," which soon becomes, "Really, I do have THE EDITOR putting the paper out." That's our Sonny.
Ah, if only every time we took the floor we
Firemen ... From past one
three-year officers will be elevated to patrol officer on the pay scale," he said.
The issue of workman's compensation coverage for extraordinary job-related injuries or illnesses was also a main concern of the commission, and the proposal, the city would pay the difference between coverage of all compensation benefits and the worker's full-time salary for a period not to exceed 60 days. After that, the workers would be entitled to receive on permanent disability. Watson said.
Arnold Berman, attorney for the firefighters and for the policemen, asked Watson if they could present this as an evidence package to the fireman's association.
Watson said he didn't feel it was an "either-or" situation. He said he considered this the city's final offer because the cost of implementing the 2.5 per cent pay increase would be too far beyond what the city could offer without raising taxes.
"I don't think you're coming away from the table empty-handed; we've compromised a long way from our original proposal," said Watson.
Berman said he thought that members of the firefighters association should be the ones to decide if they want the pay increase or the insurance benefits.
"We're negotiating for the firefighters, not the whole city. Since we're only $3,000 apart I think the membership should make the decision," said Berman.

could be assured that no wiseacre from the balcony would question our thoughts and our words, let alone our right to either thoughts or words. The answer, it seems, is to speak only of that in which we are expert: namely, ourselves.
Stewart was previously assistant professor of surgery and pediatrics at the University of Utah College of Medicine in Salt Lake City.
Granted, if we all discuss only ourselves there could be a rather serious decrease in what has been called "meaningful dialogue" before we start to thank during an election year?
David R. Stewart will assume responsibilities in late summer as chief of the team.
R. Richard Keeble was named controller, effective July 1.
