Butcher Special Graduate BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The first class in Indiana University’s experimental resident labor education program was graduated Friday night as special diplomas signed by LU. president Elvis J.- Stahr, Jr. were presented to the 21 participants, including: Robert C. Butcher, 1062 Russell St. in Decatur; a member of Local 1932. The experiment will continue in 1964 and 1965, with different groups of students. The program is a joint project of the Ufaiversland District 30, United Steelworkers of America, and is financed by district funds and grants from the Ford Foundation and the LU. Foundation. "Nineteen of the 21 “blue collar s cholar s ” of 1963 are from Indiana; one from Louisville, Ky., and another from Kenya, Africa. All but the African are members of District 30. Leaving their jobs last September to take up residence on campus at Indiana, the 21 enrolled in courses equivalent to 18 hours of regular college work; received tutorial assistance from top university faculty members, and began absorbing knowledge they hoped would lead not only to self-improvement, but also to that of the leadership in their union locals. Equally important, they said, was the factHhat they had been chosen to set the stage for similar residence programs that one day might extend beyond District 30; beyond the United Steelworkers of America, to include representatives of all unions making up this country’s 16-million-member labor movement. In addition to president Stahr; Dale Brickner of the LU. bureau of industrial and labor services, who is director of the program, and other university officials, the special graduation exercises included remarks by James Robb, director of District 80, and Dallas Sells, president of the Indiana AFL-CIO.
