5 Z .-n- ian R.A.lW' MUMEN ALL!-Wm rbwmllw tex EVP' WW' 3 H056 mil' we nfwomlw Lockout by Norman Uress Not too far away from us, strange things are happening. The Philadelphia School System is shut down because faculty and administrators cannot get together. Each accuses the other of many things. The faculty complains that the School Board refuses to give them the raises they think they deserve. Added to this is the Board's demand that all teachers work an hour and a half longer or the schools will lose subsidies they not get from the state. However, it is another faculty-administrator conflict that disturbs me more. lt is the conflict presently brewing at Community College. It is a sad state when students have to plead to the faculty and administrators to reach a settlement. From my sources, one of the still unsolved questions t ' the art department shall be rehired after the school decided that her position was no longer needed. lt is commendable that the another and care about the welfare of one of their own. To completely disregard the welfare of the students is something .l feel just as bad as they accuse the administration at CC of P of.

Eollege. Oplllll eflects an ollw: a dedicated stall tome out0fll'l et from ml hiladelplllallll fel' O Q 5 0530 l Dear Fellow Students, , As a member of the contributing staff of the Textile Evening Ram, l would like to say a few words about our hard working edi- tor, Tony DeMasi. Hardly anybody realizes the work involved In putting together an issue of the Evening Ram. Besides working QVEFY day and going to school four nights a week, he displaY5 the enthusiasm and spirit that few of us could match. Despite the fact that the Textile Evening Ram does not even have its own room In The school building, or even have its own typewriter to use, and the fact that the Evening College Administration has refused HWY Sflpport, Mr. DeMasi has put together what undoubtedly IS the l'ne5t Paper the school has ever had. Len Freeman 105 The Textile Evening Ram states that the opinions expressed herein are the responsibility of the edi- tor . The editor is not only responsible for what is said but also that it is said. Anthony De Masi re- ceives much credit and praise from his staff, but little else. The Ram is typed on a manuel typewrit- er in his home. He types it all himself. Len Free- man sent a letter to the editor commending the job Mr De Masi has done, it is reproduced below.
