DISAGREEMENTS between labor and management are nothing to write home about. But the undercurrent of dissatisfaction with the University has not always existed, many workers say.

Guys and Dolls relates two love stories: that of Nathan Detroit, operator of the "oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York" and Miss Adelaide, his fiancee of 14 years; and that of big-time gambler Sky Masterson and Sarah Brown, a Salvation Army lass.
