...both sides patiently await the National Labor Relations Board's initial decision on whether it will accept the case on appeal. Union officials are privately pessimistic about their chances to obtain even a hearing from the Washington board. Despite what they claim is overwhelming sentiment in favor of a Med area union on the part of area employees, and despite a NLRB ruling on a case involving clerical and technical workers at Columbia University's off-campus research facilities--which seems in many respects to contradict the January ruling on the District 65 case by NLRB regional director Joseph Fuchs...
...interesting to consider the factors which contribute to the union's convenient if somewhat simplistic analysis. District 65 of the DWA has been organizing the Med area since October, 1974, and it now claims as members the majority of nearly 800 clerical and technical employees in that sector. The District 65 petition to hold a union-forming election in the Med area, opposed from the outset by the University, was either tossed around like a hot potato or otherwise ignored for nearly a year by Fuchs and by the Washington Board. Washington wouldn't hear the case--since...
...Med area District 65 has by now amply demonstrated that it no longer is a fledging union with a purely self-serving axe to grind. Its battle is now seen by many workers in heroic dimension--pitted against an increasingly Goliath-like University, District 65 is regarded as something of a potential David...
...good that it saved Fuchs's secretaries countless trips to the archives--Fuchs simply decided to use information provided in Harvard briefs in his decision to the near-complete exclusion of union testimony.

...keep a higher percentage of women in their Houses than there are at Harvard, to maintain an "unfair" distinctiveness in the Quad Houses. And even if Aldrich's party of fairness existed, its members would not necessarily find themselves opposed to the careerists. There is no reason a pre-med would be any more likely to favor master's choice than a non-careerist VES major; conversely, a fairist could as easily be an egalitarian pre-law student as some one with no plans past tomorrow...
