Maybe he should support the radical students and enlist their support in getting a stronger union, we suggested. "Oh no." he laughed. "I don't want to have anything to do with them.

We aren't equipped or trained to handle these people, and I'm old and my fighting days are over. I was the one who found all those naked people in the laundry room last spring...
