Certainly there are exceptions to the assistant director's claim, "We are using our manpower 100 per cent efficinetly." Why should two women in the Freshman Union automatically dole out two pats of butter to each and every student?

Labor is high-priced in Cambridge. Harvard, one of the two Ivy League schools with a union contract, pays the top wages for kitchen workers, along with Yale.

The stage at Agassiz represents the speakers' platform at a union hall, and the audience are supposed to be taxi drivers at a strike meeting. The house is infiltrated with agents provocateurs, carefully drilled by Mark Mirsky to keep up a running fire of grumbles, taunts, and shouts, and to bring the audience into the play by putting the play almost into...
