...union representing Harvard's dining hall workers, knows too well the feeling of being tugged two ways. As a negotiator at last spring's contract sessions, he recognized the need to get his constituency what it wanted--a wage increase in an inflationary era. But he watched in dismay as Harvard attached a proviso to its three-year deal calling for successive 10-, 9- and 8-per-cent raises. The University said it would contract out the Harkness dining hall at the Law School. To its credit, Harvard assured that none of the Harkness employees were laid off. But Walden...
...problems with Gen Ed, according to the Core's founders, was that it lacked specific standards for the courses offered under its aegis.

In general, they like none of the three candidates, though most would reluctantly cast their ballots for Jimmy Carter. West German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt expressed one major reason when he told aides, "At least I have got more or less used to Carter." But local and regional considerations also play...
...after a short recess, the judge tacked on some amendments to the original charter. To the dismay of union leaders, he inserted the objectionable clause about party supremacy. In a statement read by Solidarity Leader Lech Walesa, the union denounced the "arbitrary" revision and vowed to be "guided by the charter without the changes made by the court."
