Work begins on homecoming displays
The skeletal frame of the SAE homecoming display attracts the attention of two coeds returning to their houses after class. Work on similar projects at Greek houses and dormitories will continue until the judging Friday.
NEW YORK (UPI)—The president of the largest of 13 unions striking the General Electric Co. indicated Tuesday night the walkout would be a long one. A federal court, meanwhile, ruled GE's bargaining tactics were unfair.
GE tactics ruled unfair
Paul Jennings, president of the International Union of Electrical Workers (IUE), said a conference would be called "in two or three weeks" to line up financial support for GE workers.
In the US Court of Appeals, judges in a 2-1 vote approved a National Labor Relations Board petition charging GE with unfair tactics during a 1960 strike.
GE was using a technique known as Boulwarism, named after a former company vice-president who devised it and appears to be using the same method in the current strike. The unions also have filed unfair labor practices charges in this strike.
The court said the tactic was closely associated with GE's "entire attitude toward its employees" and was an attempt to reduce the union to a meaningless organization.
Under the plan, GE reviews unions' initial demands, then makes an offer from which it will not budget. AFL-CIO President George Meany claims the procedure makes a mockery of the word negotiate.
"This plan had two major facets, first a take-it-or-leave approach to negotiations which emphasizes both the powerlessness and the uselessness of the union to its members and second a program that pictured the company of the true defender of
the employee interests," the court wrote.
The United Electrical Workers (UE), second largest union involved in the strike, announced it had scheduled a meeting with the company Wednesday. GE said it accepted the offer "to keep
the channel open."
Jennings, whose union leads a coalition of 11 others, said no bargaining meeting had been arranged with the coalition. He called on the company to "stop war on the union and negotiate a contract."

Ex-student charged
LSD sellers enter plea
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (UPI)— Four Kansas men entered guilty pleas in U.S. District Court here Tuesday to charges of selling LSD.
They are Daniel Walker, 19,
Pittsburg, a former student at
the University of Kansas, John
Fleskes, 20, Overland Park, Robert
Getzenbaner, 20, Columbus,
and Darrelle Unruh, 20, of
Pittsburg. Fleskes, Getzenbaner
and Unruh are former students
at Kansas State College at Pittsburg.
Judge Arthur J. Stanley delayed sentencing of the four pending a report by the probation department. U.S. Asst. Atty. Thomas Joyce said the report will probably take about two to three weeks for preparation.

Joyce said he would move to have four other counts against the men dismissed at time of sentencing.
The four were arrested in a Pittsburg roaming house last April. Federal agents said they confiscated about 100 LSD tablets at the time of arrest.
A Kansas University co-ed, Connie Jo Hale, 19, Atwood, pleaded guilty Monday to a similar charge before Judge Stanley.
