A night on Factory St. Besides the usual opening of school excitement, last year there was an added note. On September 23 members of the non-academic employees union went on strike. After ten highly charged days, both sides agreed to arbitration. During the strike, there was a fear that the Univer- sity would be forced to close because of a dwindling coal supply. The following is one writer ' s impression of the atmosphere on Factory Street as the Union at- tempted to block the arrival of new coal shipments: Oh yeah, sure, said the little guy with the short hair, sure. He held a piece of board in his hand. It had nails in it and he swung it back and forth when somebody else spoke. There were maybe 50, 60 people gathered around the entrance to Factory Street. Two trash fires were burning from oil drums. The flames made crackling noises. This was the night the University broke the strike. Everybody was smiling. Until the University brought the trucks in, there was really nothing to do except sit around and try to keep warm. And watch the flames lick and curl and sputter. Fire is a funny thing, you know. It awakens things in us that don ' t exist anymore. The campfire. The open hearth. The outdoors. We are not like that now and that is no good. Fire is not a gas stove flame nor is it a Blue Tip Match. But that ' s okay. Maybe we ' ll get a house with a fireplace someday. Don ' t forget the marshmellows. Goddammit, someone was saying. He was angry because so few union men came out to join the lines. The basteds, hissed another. Story by Dovid Blumberg Photographs by Charlie Nye
