The pro-tern administration of the University of Waterloo is digging in for a long interim. On july 1, arts dean Jay Minas becomes pro-tern academic vicepresident for a term of at least a year. Minas was chosen by interim administration president Howard Petch who announced his choice at an arts faculty council meet, ing tuesday. The appointment was a rushed apparently agreed one_Minas to take the job sunday. By tuesday both the general group and the executive committee of arts council had agreed to a leave of absence from the arts deanship for Minas. Wednesday Minas was gone for a three-week vacation. Minas will be number two in the pro-tern administration, and like Petch, he says he will return to his old position when a new administration president is found. Speaking to the arts faculty council, Petch complained that the two jobs he now holdsadministration president and academic vicepresident-were both fulltime before Gerry Hagey’s retirement. He also complained of having to cope with the responsibilities handled by Bill Scott until his premature departure from the pasition of provost (and dean of men ). Petch added that his off-campus especially next responsibilities, fall and winter, would require two

Those interested in the study of power in high places will have some things to watch from the president’s council in the next 12 months. The council is a high-level body advisory to the president and consists of the vicepresidents, deans and university treasurer. Although it is not a legitimate decision-making body (in the sense that it is defined in the university act), the president’s council usually considers and ‘approves all university projects, programs and development. This is greatly facilitated by ability of the members to change hats and become the university budgets committee, which they also constitute. In September only four of the nine at present on the council will be here. The chairs of the deans will be filled by five new

Council

approves

ous withcfruwal The Federation of Students has dropped out of the Ontario Union of Students, effective immediately. The federation’s student council, meeting may 3, adopted the suggestion of its executive and president, Tom Patterson, and sevevered relations. Although many Ontario campuses have left the Canadian Union of Students in the past year, Waterloo is the first out of OUS. Patterson, an OUS executive last year, blamed the ineffectiveness of the union for Waterloo’s disenchantment. “OUS doesn’t do much,” he said, “Partly because the provincial base is a weak one. Little is achieved by the provincial lobby because they keep getting put off to the federal government. In turn the federal government claims it’s provincial business. ” The leadership of OUS was not the problem. “They’ve done all they can,” Patterson said. The council accepted Patterson’s claim that the whole

question of responsibility for areas of concern to students has to be dealt with by one union, which is neither “national” or “provincial” in character. “Provincial unions lead to provincialism,” he said: Patterson denied that a tight budget passed recently was the reason for the withdrawal. However the question was first raised when Patterson’s new executive was drafting the budget. “There was $3300 for OUS and we started asking just what OUS was accomplishing.” Patterson and his executive are waiting to see what the proposed refounding convention of CUS will bring. “Council considered holding a referendum, but decided against it,” he said. “If we have a referendum on a revamped CUS, we may put the OUS question to the students then. Meanwhile we couldn’t hold a vote until October, which would screw up our budget and OUS’s too.”

Any unemployment problems this summer have been avoided by the students registered in cooperative courses. Of the 1700 students on their work term. all but a handful are employed in Canadian industries and corporations. In addition to these students, coordination director Bert Barber sees no problems for the 1500 students going out to work this fall.

Retired president G&y’ Hagey - was a special guest and he and interim president Howard Petch .presented their ideas on the ideal president. ’ .Hagey said there are ten pers‘onal characteristics the president should possess. These traitswhich sound somewhat like those found in a boy scout manual-are: a sense of responsibility. fairmindedness, a positive outlook, practicality, patience, consideration. persuasiveness. and understanding of the universitv situation in Canada and maybe in On-

set up summer

The job shortage this summer may no longer be a problem for ten Waterloo students. Along with others who will be helping out in their spare time, they are planning to establish an overnight summer camp on the north campus for public school children. ’ $ Fund-raising appears to be the ,main obstacle to the camp. Approximately $15,000 is required to operate the camp for a nineweek period this summer, based on a minimum of 50 campers. Assuming the money can be found, the group is proceeding with plans for the cam-p itself. Situated on the undeveloped 750acre north campus of the university, containing a man made 250acre lake, Camp Columbia will operate for eight weeks during july and august. It will have a minimum capacity of 50 publicschool-age campers, during each of the four two-week periods. Additional capacity will depend upon the success of the fund-raising campaign. Accommodation will be provided in tents for both/campers and staff with an overall ratio of one staff member for each five dampers. A program committee, consisting of u,nivkrsity students with a broad range of. camping experience, is already planning activities for the camp and is ‘enlisting the assistance of many specialists in various areas, from both the university and the surrounding community . Full co-operation has been guaranteed the camp by, the university in providing the site, supplying the camp with food, making its facilities available and providing special resource people. The organizers are hoping to develope a spirit of community among the campers by de-emhhasizing competition and emphasizing the value of co-operation. by involving the campers as much as possible in the day-to-day decisions at the camp; and minimizing the ’ use of, disciplines and overt authoritvin favor of group ii‘iscus- 1 sion of any problems which arise. With.the failure of the economic situation to,’ provide meaningful summerjobs for many university ~, I

students, : there will be no difficulty recruiting competent,. experienced staff for the camp. Based on the projected ‘minimum of 50 campers. three or four students will, be employed during may and june, handling the myriad of details which make for a successful camp and’ doing intensive fund-raising in the twin cities. ,, Ten students will work full time at the camp during july and august, as counsellors, swimming instructors and supervisors, craft and field trip supervisors and business agents, and organizing food-serving and maintenance. Rick Paige and Ross Taylor were appointed at a recent meet-

One of the initiators, Brian Iler. said. “Besides the usual summer camp program. we hope to attract faculty members such as biologists. historians and anthropolgists. whose specialties or hobbies might be of interest to the campers: The resources now lying dormant at the university each summer present all sorts of fantastic opportunities for the camp. ” The group would prefer children who otherwise would not have a chance to go to camp. : The project is aimed at putting some reality into the rhetoric about the university being a community resource.

Free uds net few The student action ads in the Kitchener-Waterloo Record have been of little assistance to students seeking summer jobs. + Interviews early this week with students who had placed ads indicated little favor with the results. In the majority of cases where students had been able to get jobs it was as a result of their own initiative. A few students had accepted jobs as a result of the ads. A reply typical pf many was from a third-year geography student: “The calls which came were for construction work or bookselling. I applied in Galt for field work in geography but the budget had been reduced and I was refused. ” His final ‘comment, like many, was b*I’ll probably be able to return to university in the fall. but I got my job due to an inside contact at the place.”

The Record had allowed the ads to run for three days without cost. A representative of the paper has said “I expect the service to end by mid-may.” Contrary to an article ‘in the Record student services in the area are not ‘in demand’, ‘The papers action to assist the iY students with free ads is a positive measure. However any beneficial results seem remote at this time.

Well, it was really nice to see a few people using the new nonexplosive bonfire pedestal down near Laurel Lake during our typically brief summer. PPandP is also, providing wood which is kept dry in a home better than most people in this world have. The pedestal has been a long time coming. Back on 24 august, 1964. a memo was sent to Bill Lobban suggesting such an erection, in approximately the same area. The reply, dated seven days later. agreed that it was a good idea. This would also be in sympathy with the balmy clime suggested for Waterloo by the PPandP’s pur: suance of pastoral settings. Xnywav, the reply stated that part of the Village development (which was then almost ready) included in the now treeless, wildlifeless moors. provisions for several outdoor activities. including cook-outs, drama and music, and that the writer had concluded this would be a better place for such a pedestal. And he added that there was no reason that such installations could not be included. Almost five years later. we have possibly a safe prototype of a simple, concrete slab. with hopefully no air bubbles. How much did it cost? I don’t know. but I hope it’s used.

And I would like to remind’ PP b andP that students are very likely to sympathize with ‘janitors, with their wierd hours and poor pay (about 25’ ; lower than their brothers at Conestoga College. ) This is probably due to the weak. ineffective. perhaps detrimental union, CUPE. Janitors have difficulty getting overtime. and aren’t likely to gripe when the extra needed money is at stake. And then the muck-and-mow boys are pretty underpaid too.

F MEMBERS ‘of the personnel department are actually hiring secretarial and clerical staff at the level of intelligence indicated by their recently-distributed secretary’s manual, then it is time to take a long, hard look at the competency of that department. If, however, the secretaries being hired are not utterly lacking in common sense. then it is quite obvious the personnel staff requires significantly more experience and training in recognizing the areas which such a manual should cover.

~~~

Carbon-paper comes in one hundred sheets a box, divided into four equal packets of twenty-five. It does not list abbreviations or commonly misspelled words. Neither does it deal with grammar nor the correct procedure for word division. It does not inform the inexperienced and untrained secretary of the rules of punctuation. It does, however, advise that “carbon-paper comes in one hundred sheets a box, divided into four equal packets of twenty-five. “-essential information if the secretary is paranoic about being screwed by the carbon-paper people. The introduction is written either by or for a child who has not progressed beyond public school. (“If you are a newcomer you are bound to have many questions. This handbook will answer many of them. Anytime you do not find the answer here, do not hesitate to ask your supervisor or contact the personnel department.” ) It concludes with, “If you have any suggestions - regarding information which might be included in our next printing. please send such information to the personnel department.” Could this possibly mean they intend to do it again? Part one is entitled You and Your Job, and contains, among other equally groovy bits of information. sections on Poise and Grooming. Filing for Future Use. and You and Your Typewriter-the last of which suggests some sort of unnatural relationship. The introduction to part one reiterates that “we do hope to be of some- help to you as you learn your job. and the information which vou will find here will answer many of your questions. Anytime you do not find the answer. do not hesitate to ask your supervisor, or other staff members. All are happy to help.” At this point one must concede the manual did indeed provide assistance-a warning to all newly-appointed secretaries to avoid the personnel department. since obviously the belief is that secretaries are idiots. The first section of You and Your Job contains two pages of information concerning universitv buildings which has been taken verbatim from the university calendar. along with a campus map which also appears in the calendar.

If you are a newcomer you are bound to have many questions. This handbook will answer many of them. This is followed

by a page headed Organization of Waterloo, and which contains the following message. “Now being revised. To be forwarded as soon as possible. Page 7, “on working at the university,” offers little other than cliches (“Think of yourself as a member of a team. ” ), untidy syntax and the inevitable paternalistic writing style. The following section-all four pages of itON “poise and grooming” will appear suspiciously familiar to any girl who has attended home economics classes in highschool. It is also evident the editor did not adhere to the advice she gave on the previous page-to carefully proofread a letter for mistakes-since a glaring spelling error appears. It is in this portion of the manual the secretary is advised-provided she has had the stamina to read this far-to “shop for better clothesones that are made from good materials”, and to “invest more money in the accessories that get the most wear-shoes and handbags.” The editor neglected to take into consideration the fact that the average Uniwat secretary is underpaid. In addition to offering suggestions on how to spend our salaries, this little gem also tells us how to spend our spare time. “Each evening, check the clothes you have worn. Note any repairs that must be made; if they can’t be made immediately, set the garment aside for later attention,” and what type of iron to purchase. “With a good steam iron, you can give woollens a professionallooking pressing. ”

The virtues of coin-operated dry-cleaning machines are extolled: directions are given for washing girdles, brassieres and stockings: we are told to dutifully remove hair from underarms and legs and to occasionally change our deodorant brand. But, by god. we aren’t told not to split infinitives! The editor presumes to be knowledgeable in the opinions of others-“Remember. the most appealing faces are those that have a fresh. natural look. Cosmetics should be used to achieve this look, not to destroy it.“-and all in the inevitable. paternalistic writing style.

The poise and grooming section concludes with, “It is necessary that you understand your importance and that you carry out the responsibilities assigned to .you to the best of your ability, striving for a greater sense of awareness and sensitivity to the needs of those whom you serve.” In other words, kiddies, do as the boss tells you and keep your mouth shut. And above all, don’t think for yourself. We now progress to Interoffice Correspondence.

“Interoffice communications at the University of Waterloo are commonly known as ‘memorThis is followed by detailed anda’ or ‘memos’.” descriptions which seem to comply with the knowledge we attained during our initial commercial training in highschool (“Carbon copies are made on onion skin paper. ” ) . Very explicit instructions are detailed with respect to the handling of interoffice envelopes “Staple or turn in the flap to close.” Surprisingly. we are not told to grasp the stapler firmly in our right hand (or left, whichever feels the most natural). hold directly over the area to which we wish the staple to be fastened. grasp firmly until staple is released from stapler. release pressure, and return stapler to original position. The personnel department leaves nothing to chance. Transmittal slips (those little green slips with spaces to fill in “to”. “from” and “please pass on to”) are explained thoroughly. complete with a reproduced sample and a notation that they are to be stapled to the enclosure. It is at this point one expects the following paragraphs to deal with advice on how to use the washroom facilities-insert 5-cent piece in appropriate slot, turn handle with right hand. remove package from machine. open package by tearing cardboard end flap. . . . The inevitable writing style is maintained in the Outgoing Correspondence information. .

Personnel

Part 3 provides a form for a detailed Job description with advice on the manner in which it is to be completed. for use if it becomes necessary to replace the secretary suddenly. And here you are advised to include such personal matters as how your employer likes his coffee and if fetching sandwiches or cigarettes for him is necessary.

Do you know how your employer likes his coffee? Does he ever ask you to pick up a sandwich for iunch? Or cigarettes? “The art of being a good secretary consists almost entirely of getting your employer exactly what he wants without inconveniencing him.” It is skh-r-mts such as these, which appear all too frequently, that are frightening to any thinking person. Whatever happened to personal opinion? Are we to presume that, in order to be a “good” secretary, we should follow blindly any and all orders from a superior, regardless of whether or not we agree? Does not the art of being a good secretary consist also of indicating errors of judgement which are perceived, and the possible repercussions? To instruct an inexperienced secretary to merely follow orders is to create a university staff of mindless beings who are capable of doing exactly as instructed and no more. The art of being a good secretary consists of being sufficiently intelligent and capable of offering constructive criticism. The art of being a good secretary consists of presenting viewpoints contrary to those held by your superior, and presenting them in an intelligent manner. The art of being a good secretary consists of broadening your education by reading and learning. The art of being a good secretary consists, most of all, of thinking. It is tragic that the personnel department feels this activity should be suppressed.

Lately I have been taking the Chevron back to my apartment to read and the cat I have has been quite attracted to the paper. As soon as she gets the Chevron, she attacks it quite varaciously, tears it up into tiny little bits, and then she eats it. After that, she runs to her box and barfs. She is a very well-trained cat.

MEXICAN COLLEGES AND universities have become key components of contemporary capitalism. ’ They are an outstanding instance of the way in which the econmic system-the “base” -has become integrated with the political, social, and cultural institutions-the “superstructure’‘i-of _ f;he corporation state. This integration is nowhere more evident than in --the training functions of the mass education system. ‘The growth of capitalism in the present ‘period depends upon the ,-availability of a large, highly skilled, technical-scientific labor force. No onecorporation can afford to train its own labor force for there is no way to insure that its investment, once trained, will not seek employment elsewhere. The costs *of training therefore have to be socialized. American colleges and. un~iversities: subsidized bv governmentcollected taxes, ‘have taken on- the social function of - training. skilled personnel and developing knowledge for the needs of advanced capitalism. Far from merely “serving corporate capitalism” by p oviding occasional research and consultthe universities have being services. come a basic point of production. ’

Acc@leration <_ J productioil

and

In the United States today there are two important features of the capitalist mode of droduction: the acceleration of technological change; and the emergence of technical factor of production. - _2 1. With the overall

knowledge

rhythm of technological change accelerated. the life span of fixed capital (plant and equipment) is labor skills rapidly beshortened, come redundant, and rationalization at the point of production is increased. These tendencies have a number ,of causes; competition for markets between industrial finance groups: annual model and style changes of commodities: builtin commodity obsolescence : poli tical-military competition between the U.S. and the Soviet Union: tax laws favoring accelerated depreciation of plants and ‘eqquipment ; and the availability of eheap technical-scientific labor power. With the emergence of technical knowEedge as a necessary factor of production, economic growth increasingly de- . pends more on the quality of labor power and machinery and less on the absolute number of men and machines in production. Skilled. technical labor power replaces simple labor power.’ and the knowledge of the work force becomes a fundamenfactor. important productive tally This is widely recognized bg corporate the and administrators. economists former in their literature on “investment in human capital.” the latter in I their reference to the university as part j of the .-knowledge industry.” The .relationship between the acceleration of technological change and the emergence of technical knowledge as a factor of production is basically simple.

cal-scientific labor force. The existence of this labor force. trained by the universities under the *guidance of the state and at the expense of the working class as a whole (via tax exploitation ). in turn makes the creation of new commodities. redesign of equipment. etc.. ’ more profitable. Because the state. not the individual takes financial responsibcorporation. ilitv for university-trained labor and technology, the university-developed element of risk for individual corporations is virtually eliminated. As a result. productivity and production can be raised to a level hitherto unimaginable.

International conglomerates

Because science and technology are basically social in nature-they cannot be owned and controlled like a machine -private corporations and indeed individual countries have met with great difficultv in their attempts to monopolize these new productive forces They cannot limit the diffusion of technical knowledge to even the capitalist world, much less to special interests within it.. To tighten control over these. enter the new multi-national conglomerate corporations. And with this broadened form of organization they have developed a framework for rationalizing the use of technological resources to maximize profits. However, the social character of scientific and technical knowledge means that ultimately no private form of business organization can completely contain and control it. For this knowledge to contribute to the benefit of the corporations, the intervention of the state is needed.. In effect. a form of state capitalism must accompany the growth of the corporate conglomerate. , There are four ways in which the state can and’ has intervened in the corporate economy. In each role the state uses the socialized product of the university: technical and administrative knowledge. First. industrial-financial interests use state power to socialize the costs of production-in particular. the costs of transforming raw labor power into technical-scientific labor power. the costs of retraining workers and the costs of research and development. Funds are required bv the state through public taxation. transformed into college and u’niversitv facilities. and used to .purchase training personnel and to subsidize the industrial trainees. Colleges and universities are thus

by James O’Chner

not merely integral to the production process. but constitute another point of controlled. production. increasing& while not owned, bv the corporate bourgeoisie as a whole. , Second. these interests use state power not only to socialize costs. but also to ’ subsidize demand. The- development of science and technology has reached the stage at which all economic needs can potentially - be easily ’ satisfied. Commodity demand based on real economic needs rises only slowly. or not, at all. Socially necessarv labor steadily declines. Consequentlv. corporations are compelled to lay out larger and’ larger portions of profits on selling, expenses. especial& packaging. model changes. style changes. product differentiation. and forced commodity obsolescence. in order to ma.intain and expand the volume of demand bv discouraging savings.

Use-value

and waste >A

In short, - commodities contain both use-values and waste; economic waste increasingly replaces use-values. and socially unnecessary labor, (that which produces waste ) replaces socially necessary labor (that which produces usevalue 1. To acquire use-values to meet economic needs. the working classes are compelled to consume waste-that is. pav for the expense of selling. The interpenetration of sales expenses and production costs. or waste and use-values. is the basic method employed bv business to maintain the level of demand. As points of merchandizing as well as points of production, colleges and universities help subsidize demand by accelerating the accumulation of waste. They are proving grounds for new marketing ideas. new products. new brands of “full employment” economics. etc. The activities of these “marketing departments” range from market research courses. home economics departments and seminars in Keynesian economics. to the art and industrial design schools which mobilize and apply creative talent to the latest problems of product design and packaging. Third. the state has had to further embed itself’ in the corporate economy to help control the social risks resulting from its first two roles. The development of science and technology and the abundance- of capital has led carporations to employ a capital-intensive technology despite the existing relative abundance of unskilled labor. From the standpoint of the corporations it is more rational to combine technicalscientific labor power with capital-intensive technology than to combine simple labor power with labor-intensive technologies. for the costs of training techni, Cal-scientific labor power are met -by taxation falling on the population at large.

Ranks of unsktiled It is this system which has produced a large and growing stratum of unskilled. of them workers. many untrained black. who have never had industrial work experience and never will. This proletariat does not *-post-industrial”

constitute a reserve army of the unemproved because it does not compete with the ‘*technical-scientific“ proletariat. Unemployed. under-employed. and emploved in menial jobs in the private and state sectors of the economy. these workers. particularly the younger ones. have become increasingly politicized. In black organizations. poor peoples associations. unions and welfare rights leagues. this group is politically in motion and constitutes a “social problem of the -first order for the corporation state. The colleges and universities. in this case functionally inseparable from the r-‘ state bureaucracy. are thus more and more ,preoccupied with questions -of “social stability.” “law and order.” ‘social reform.” and so-on. The behav: ioral’ sciences. sociology. social psvchol: and other academic 0gy. economics. ?. fields are oriented to “solving“ pressing via the development social problems’.’ of more refined instruments of social control and social discipline. Finally the state is employed at every step in the accumulationof capital abroad: in the acquisition of raw materials. the creation of investment opportunities. the creation of cheap labor havens. ’ and ‘the stabilizaiion of international banking centers. The state guarantees fore&h investments. . stabilizes monetary systems under the reign of the dollar. provides the economic infrastructure for private investments with public funds. subsidizes exports, bribes local client bourgeoisies and. military groups. creates 1 favorable tariff agreements. controls world commodity organizations. and Lo general& exercises economic. j3olitical. and military control over unstable areas ( i.e.. all underdeveloped areas ).

Imperialist

rule

The role of the colleges and universities in IJS. economic and political policy abroad corresponds to their role in the local political economy. They are points of imperialist rule. They develop and promote new weapons systems. new instruments of local. national. and international social control.’ new approaches to international mar,keting problems. and new economic theories which promote the hegemony of American business over world resources. As a whole. merefore. the colleges and universities constitute four great overlapping departments of the U.S. ruling class-they are points of produc-‘ tion. points of merchandizing. points of state bureaucratic social control. and points of imperialist rule. Most of the existing functions of colleges and unii versities fall into one or more of these categories. To be sure. the smaller upper class liberal arts institutions still train governing elites-this has been their historical function. But the really important role of the universitv is to provide the kind of socialized technologicaladministrative skills outl’ined above. The colleges and universities therefore are not the service stations” of the corporate system. but rather constitute a decisive and creative part of this system.

R&!XIBB -

for the appetizer

The university budget published on page 4 is there because two reporters stumbled unannounced, uninvited and without any warning into a board of governors meeting last fall. The governors, noticeably uncomfortable, and with little time for thought, couldn’t answer the question of why the Chevron reporters shouldn’t stay. The meeting proceeded in their presence after admin president Gerry Hagev and chancellor . Ira Needles scurried to cover up what seemed to be the important business and moved it to an afternoon session which the reporters weren’t told about. In the dull rubber?----‘-sidrlplLl~ vL hbeen open sessions, which haTTo ever since, the univ rersity’s overall budget became aIJailable. So what? It means the students, staff and.faculty who are the university will now be able to at

least see where the administration’s priorities are. That token is not enough. The president’s council-that extraconstitutional but all-powerful administrative body-must be either opened or abolished. Perhaps then we will see one end to decisions that no one ever seems to have made and budgets that appear out of thin air. And we would find exposed the complete farce called university ‘community. ’ * * * And a question remains unanswered. Where goes the “unallocated and contingency” of three quarters of a million dollars in the current (1968-69 1 budget? Saved so miraculously from this year’s ) operations, the entry seems to get lost between the 1968-69 statements and the 196970 budget. Look around and you’ll probably find it’s being planted and will blossom forth in more trees and buildings-but not books. a

And here is H.D. Wilson Stand bv. to batten down the hatches, taxpayers-we are in for another blow, if not a gale. During the past week we have heard ominous rumblings, both from Queen’s Park in Toronto and Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Mr. Robarts is seriously considering the severe cutting back of some provincial grants to municipalities and in return giving the municipalities the power to levy municipal income taxes in lieu of municipal propertv taxes. Prime minister Trudeau has made it clear that he is about to wield the axe on federal expenditures, especially in the areas of cost sharing, welfare programs such as the baby bonus and, possibly, subsidy programs to some industries. Put them altogether and they don’t spell mother, cousin. Thev spell increased taxation, decreased services, and increased unemployment. And if that is any way to bring about a just society and curb inflation, then Monsieurs Robarts

and Trudeau certainly must know something we don’t. And if they do, it’s about time they let us in on the revelation. The simple fact is that both of these political leaders, to say nothing of most other politicians, are scurrying around attempting to cure symptoms, rather than get at the disease itself, and that disease is readily isolated. It’s just pure and simple greed, caused largely by the virus of private monopoly-oriented capitalism, rather than publiclyoriented free and competitive enterprise. The status-quo has got to go, and until our representatives in government at all levels realize this and start to take the necessary corrective procedures, we are in for nothing but increased inflation, increased unemployment, increased misery. We are running short of painkilling pallia tives. Some major remedial surgery is called for. -Hugh Donald Wilson, CHYH editorial, 12 may 1969

A study in bureaucracy J

We called the centerspread article on the administration’s secretary’s manual ‘the laugh of the century. ’ Unfortunately, only the unintentional humor in the manual is rare-the fault the manual exposes are all too plentiful. Institutional inhumanity and Parkinsonian bureaucracy . never seem to change. Parkinson has some clever sayings about bureaucracy expanding faster than the operation it serves and second-rate bureaucrats who hire third-rate subordinates to protect their own jobs. The secretary’s manual is somewhat typical of the things that keep an expanding bureaucracy expanding. And the opinions of the group of senior secretaries and administrative assistants that conceived the manual betray their ideas of how dumb they’d like their subordinates to be. Institutional inhumanity abounds in the manual’s patronizing tone and the even more domineering instructions. Sell out. Sell your soul to the boss, and get promoted to senior secretary or administrative assistant. Either those senior sell-outs have assuaged their consciences by explaining their positions as natural results of superior ability, or they are just plain inferior-proving that the really superior s’ecretaries who won’t sell their souls don’t get promoted Or else leave to seek more human surroundings.

Resistance to change >nd elite control of our society are not the result of a great conceived plot. Rather they are products of an environment that is becoming increasingly bureaucratic-and resultingly unfair. If the personnel department is hiring people who need such an elementary training manual, then someone better look at who’s hiring the personnel department. The university, with all its rhetoric, is one place that shouldn’t be afraid to innovate within its own operation. That might be a form of relevant research. * * * There was one obvious omission in the secretary’s manual: a section on Why you do not need a union.

It could go something like this: Your boss, to whom vou are so dedicated,’ does not like unions. Look at vour pay envelope. Open it up. Look at the pay statement. Read it. Aren’t you glad vour pay. is so high? You are working in a wonderful academic environment. That makes up for any tiny pay difference between you and any of your friends who work in less pleasant surroundings. A union would charge you high dues. Those dues would only go to support a bunch of useless office workers and administrators. You don’t need a bunch of office workers and administrators, do vou? You wouldn’t want to support something like that, would you?
