Harvard's outrageous suspension of shop stewards Sylvia gallagher, Alan Balsam and John Schaffer represents an escalation of its continuing assault on the campus labor movement. In an episode reminiscent of the Sherman Holcombe cauliflower controversy, the Harvard administration has again seized on a minor dispute--this time the question of where on the plate Alan Balsam should put hamburgers--as a pretext for purging the kitchen workers of their leaders and intimidating the rest of the local's membership. In addition to the suspensions, Harvard has docked all the workers who walked out in solidarity with Balsam two hours...

Thus, Harvard's attack on Gallagher, Balsam and Schaffer makes their strategy clear: crush all signs of militancy before the further aggravations of an insulting contract offer and a drastic reduction in income blow them into strike proportions, while purging the local of its leadership before contract negotations begin.

Now the city has twelve indoor and six outdoor rinks. Ben Schaffer, an administrator with the Essex County, N.J., park commission, says that the county has five rinks. "Five years ago," adds Schaffer, "there weren't even five rinks in the whole state." The demand is not slackening. Barry Wolkon, who has just opened a $3 million, two-rink complex in New York's Rockland County, says...
