Airlines Strike Still Unsolved
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — A 2 p.m. EST deadline in the Wildeat flight engineers strike passed today with the administration working feverishly to end the dispute.
Secretary of Labor Arthur Goldberg had been scheduled to meet with President Kennedy shortly before expiration of the new deadline but he was reported still in the labor department at 2:15 p.m. There was no word from the White House.
Five of the major airlines grounded by the strike had extended from noon to 2 p.m. a deadline on their promise that they would not carry out any reprisals against the strikers if they returned to work.
The White House said shortly before noon that Goldberg was attempting to reach the President of Western Airlines, the sixth airline involved in the dispute.
Sherwood Services Set for Tomorrow
Funeral services for Nobel P. Sherwood, former professor emeritus of bacteriology, will be conducted at 2 p.m. tomorrow at the Rumsey Funeral Home Chapel. The Rev. Albert G. Parker of the First Presbyterian Church and Dr. Luther Sharpe of Park College in Parkville, Mo., will officiate.
Prof. Sherwood organized the department of bacteriology in 1919 and served as chairman of the department until his retirement in 1949. He died Tuesday.
Burial will be in Memorial Park Cemetery.
Weather
Light snow or rain is predicted for most of the state during the day.
Variable cloudiness and moderately cool temperatures are expected for the next few days.
Highs today were forecast mostly in the 40s, to be followed by lows in the 20s in the west and the low 20s in the east.
WHITE HOUSE sources reported earlier that Kennedy had been told that the strike could be solved if Western agreed to rehire 120 dismissed engineers.
Presidential Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said the White House understood that if Western would join the other air lines in the "no reprisal" agreement, the strike could be settled immediately.
ment of the Western employees and assurances of no reprisals would clear the way for an end to the six-day-old strike. Outside of the situation involving Western, only a few details remain to be worked out, the spokesman said.
Western dismissed the engineers two days ago and said they would be replaced with pilots as soon as these men were trained in the engineers' duties.
A SPOKESMAN FOR the flight engineers confirmed that reinstate-
THE ENGINEERS UNION said in a statement yesterday that their men had indicated they would not return to work unless the Western flight engineers were rehired.
The government wants Western to follow the pattern of the other affected carriers by permitting the engineers to go back to work while the presidential commission investigates the dispute.
The labor secretary told reporters yesterday he would contact Terry Drinkwater, president of the airline, and try to get a guarantee that the men would be rehired.
CRC to Check Local Barbers
By Fred Zimmerman
Lawrence barbers who discriminate are the next target of the Civil Rights Council.
Steve Baratz, Lawrence graduate student, made a motion last night that the CRC take a telephone survey of local barbers to find out which ones refuse to cut the hair of Negroes.
ALL NINE MEMBERS present voted for the motion.
Baratz and John McCabe, Lawrence senior, said they would call every barber in the Lawrence telephone directory and ask him if he refuses to cut Negroes' hair.
Marion S. Barry, Memphis, Tenn. graduate student, said that he had been contacted by Sam Jackson, vice chairman of the state National Association for the Advancement of Colored People from Topeka, about Barry's verbal complaint to County Attorney Wesley M. Norwood that he was refused service at a local bar.
"He said that the state N.A.A.C.P. was willing to help us with lawyers, suggestions on procedure, anything like that. He said they were particularly interested in this tavern situation.
"MR. JACKSON said all we had to do was write them a letter telling what our grievances were and they would be glad to come down." Barry said.
"Mr. Jackson said he had talked to County Attorney Norwood extensively about my case. He and Mr. Norwood disagreed."
Barry told the CRC he wanted to get some more legal advice before he decides whether or not to file a formal complaint.
BARRY SAID, "Mr. Jackson told me the N.A.A.C.P. had been following my case with a great deal of interest.
"MR. NORWOOD does not feel that taverns come under the public
Hayakawa Discusses Problem of Semantics
(Continued on page 12)
By William Mullins
The role of semantee in "filtering sense from nonsense" in the rush of statements thrown at the individual was emphasized by S. I. Havakawa at the Faculty Forum yesterday.
Hayakawa, professor of language arts at San Francisco State College, said, that the least serious problem in semantics volley is losing money when we believe the advertiser; the most serious is believing another Hitler.
Prof. Hayakawa said he became interested in semantics because of the Nazi propaganda that helped Hitler to gain control of Germany.
Prof. Hayakawa said critical standards should be applied to the statements of mass communications. The individual should be trained
"WE ARE CONFRONTED in our time, because of the mass media of radio and TV with the greatest mass of words in history," Prof. Hayakawa said.
"The task then, of filtering sense from nonsense becomes important," he continued.
Visitors Criticize KU
This Is College? It's Too Easy
"I wish I could have visited another class. The one I went to was boring."
"You may not live by the directives of a great religion, but you nevertheless live by directives of your laws or your gang," Prof. Havakawa said.
"I EXPECTED to see a lot of kids studying, but everywhere we went people were playing cards, drinking coffee and telling jokes. What do they use for textbooks?"
to ask himself what the statement means.
"The professor I heard was funny, but he didn't say much of anything."
Prof. Hayakawa said there are at least four different interpretations of language.
He said the language of advertising, much of law and much of religion has directive meaning.
"If college isn't any harder than this, it should be a breeze."
schools in the greater Kansas City area.
These are some of the opinions expressed by 105 high school girls who visited the University yesterday as guests of the American Association of University Women.
HE SAID THERE is first a strictly physical information conveyed by a statement.
THE GROUP WAS composed of the five top scholars from the junior and senior classes of 10 high
The directive function is the third aspect of language, he continued.
As a part of their tour of the
"Second, there is a systematic use of language," Prof. Hayakawa continued. "That is, we have to agree as to what we are going to call a cat or a closet. Before the scientist can talk sense at all, he must have a system of language." Prof. Hayakawa said.
"The class was too simple for me," Miss Stuwel commented.
campus, each girl was assigned a hostess by the Associated Women's Students committee. She attended both an 11 a.m. and a 1 p.m. class with her hostess.
Nancy Stuwel, a foreign exchange student from the Netherlands attending Shawnee Mission East High School visited a psychology class.
"IT WAS BORING." Connie Lutes, Van Horn High School junior said after she attended a political science class.
"The class I visited talked about Chuconh. This is the same thing I am studying in high school English." Suzanne Earlart, Paseo High School senior said. Suzanne wants to study chemistry.
THE FOURTH MEANING in language he described as the expressive or evaluative meaning. Expressive language interpretation contains a judgment, Prof. Hayakawa explained.
"For instance, if a man tells a woman she is the most wonderful woman in the world, her first question is not is it true, but does he mean it." Prof. Hayakawa said.
Prof. Hayakawa said regardless of the profession a person was in, he needed all four values of language.
"Speaking strictly in college terms, I believe semantics belongs in introductory speech or freshman English," he said.
