Law Reasonable Gagliardo Says
Trade unions have little to fear even if Congress makes no important changes in the Taft-Hartley law, Domenico Gagliardo, professor of economics, told union leaders recently at the second annual American Federation of Labor institute. The labor conference was held at the University during the past weekend.
"You don't like the idea of being sued for contract violations, but unions have attained adulthood and have the responsibilities thereof," Professor Gagliardo said. He added that much of the present law is sound, and that it isn't unreasonable that an employer should have the right of redress.
Professor Gagliardo said that if the Republicans and conservative Democrats stick together, there will be few changes in the Federal labor laws. He said the Taft-Hartley law marked the peak of reaction against unions, but had not crippled them.
Dr. Stockton described the institute as "one of the most successful we've ever held." Sixty labor representatives from all over the state attended.
Dr. Frank T. Stockton, dean of University Extension, said that group participation in discussion at the institute showed a marked interest in developing better relations between the union and the community.
The discussions were led by Marston McCluggage, associate professor of sociology, and A. A. Livedight, director of union leadership training program at the University of Chicago.
Other University faculty members who assisted at the institute were Paul McCollum, instructor of economics; Raymond F. Wallace, associate professor of economics; and Jack Chernick, assistant professor of economics.
Architects To Draw Bell Tower Plans
Two architects were instructed to draw up the necessary plans and blueprints for the University's memorial campanile at a meeting of the executive committee of the Memorial association March 17.
"We are still $35,000 short of our goal of $350,000." Fred Ellsworth executive committee member, said. "It will be necessary to obtain many new gifts and donations if we are to start construction soon." The plans will be completed in 60 to 90 days. If the required funds are obtained, construction will start early this summer.
Committee members present at the meeting; Hugo T. Wedell president; Carl L. Rice, vice-president; Edward Tanner, C. B. Holmes Wayne McCoy; and Fred Ellsworth Architects who met with the committee were Homer Neville and Edward B. Delk.
The meeting was held at Topkea in the office of Hugo T. Wedell

Inflation Hits Bandit Hard
Two new art displays, "The World of Goethe" and "Art in the Theater" were put on display Monday in the University Museum of Art.
Museum Has New Exhibits
The first display, presented in collaboration with the German department, commemorates the 200th anniversary of the birth of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, German scientist, critic, and literary figure.
Included in this exhibition is "Portrait of a Woman Reading" by an unknown painter in the Nazarene group of German painters who emigrated to Rome in the early 19th century. This is the only example of the group in America, said Dr. John Maxon, director of the museum.
Furniture of Austria and Germany from the period 1790 to 1830 is also being shown with the collection.
The exhibition, "Art in the Theater" has examples of scenic design from the late 17th to the 20th century.
The display includes two drawings by the Italian painter Juvara, who designed the royal palace in Madrid; examples of American stage designs by Robert Edmond Jones, Jo Mielziner, and Donald Oenlager; two original paintings by the English artist, Gordon Craig; and a drawing by Pablo Picasso for the scenery of the ballet "The Three-cornered Hat" which was drawn from an idea suggested in Manuel de Falla's ballet of the same name.
Contributors to the exhibition are: the Wadsworth athenium of Hartford, Conn.; the Museum of the City of New York; the Fogg museum of Cambridge, Mass.; and private collectors.

Seniors To Give Class Gift Ideas
Seniors are urged to drop their suggestions for a class gift into the suggestion box in the dean of men's office.
It was announced March 17 that the suggestion box would be in the dean's office until March 18.
"We found that seniors were not responding very well so we decided to extend the time until Friday." Aaron Wilson, chairman of the gift committee, said today.
Gregory Cancels Song Contest
Withdrawal of two entries and general lack of student interest were the reasons for indefinite postpone ment Sunday of the United Nations Economic, Scientific, and Cultural Organization foreign song contest Dean Gregory, College senior, said Monday.
Only four quartets remained after the two withdrawals. The program would have lasted only about 30 or 40 minutes and could not have been much of a contest, Gregory said.
