Two Jesuits offer their vj Herbert Musirillo their views on the new film, The Exorcist, and the subject of demonic possession.

The paramount question which again confronts the present structure does not meet with their satisfaction, faculty members is to decide whether or not the AAUP's Insofar as the direct interests of the students are they can improve it themselves. In short, if the faculty collective bargaining experience would justify granting concerned, the claim of higher educational unions (and vote in favor of the AAUP-without careful consideration them such a right. Perhaps the faculty may not have to go the AAUP is such a union) in general has been of all the issues at hand-giving the union in effect the this routeat least not until all other possible channels "Professors want what students need!" Now if this is so, right under the law to bargain on everything, they might have been explored, or until full consideration is given to and if the AAUP were to be certified as the faculty union very well open a "Pandora's Box." any possible ill effects that might arise if the AAUP or at Fordham, would the AAUP be willing to set a any other union were to be certified as the exclusive precedent of its own?

Good teaching goes when union comes (•Continued from page 5) Mr. Berger, the time factor would prevent every step being put to a referendum. Regarding the vote on the final package, most bargaining groups now in operation on campuses do not allow everyone covered by the unit to vote, but only union mem- bers. This procedure has prevailed at Rutgers, for example, where AAUP is the bargaining representative. Fordham's AAUP Constitution states that decisions of the Chapter that are put to a ballot are voted on only by Chapter members present at the meeting. It does not provide for a mail ballot. Mr. Berger admitted that the. present Constitution is probably not adequate for collective bargaining and that it would have to be modified. In my view, a definite plan for such modification should be proposed and made clear before the election on collective bargaining. In this regard, the Fordham AAUP record for democratic process is hardly one to inspire confidence. In the past several years, meetings have been rare, though the Con- BOYD: believes a vote against unionization is a vote for academic freedom stitution calls for four meetings a year.

Collective bargaining can only magnify any such problems that what plan has been offered to solve them: univocal. A business organization is may exist. By its very nature, bargaining means getting the best package possible, how, for instance, bringing to bear legal dominantly economic in its nature and and if done collectively it usually results in a compromise where everything is technicalities and political power will concerns, a state or a nation political, the reduced to the least common denominator, regardless of differences in competence, solve essentially human and academic Church religious, the family domestically specialties, needs, interests, existing inequities, etc. Less optimistically, since problems, unless they can bring with nutritive. membership on the bargaining team will presumably be proportionate to the size of them some new measures.

Again, a plan that is not delicate substance. Well beyond its need One argument usually advanced for collective bargaining is its ability to handle a plan at all. for realistic economic and political health, grievance procedures more effectively. It has "teeth" in its recourse to binding As a coda to this first argument, I would it demands a qualitative loyalty, arbitration. What is less frequently realized is that this costs money. Mr. Berger like to add that the AAUP Committee has especially on the part of those whose estimated that union dues would be about .7% of faculty salary. It is problematic not made clear: how they plan to augment prime power and duty it is to preserve its whether this could also cover fees for legal counsel in grievance cases, for these are a bargaining unit, should one be man- academic life and excellence, that simply borne equally by the Administration and the bargaining unit.
