A free turkey dinner will be served Monday evening for post members of the American Legion and all Vietnam veterans. Former Chicago Bear player, Mike Rabold, a former Indiana University star, will be the special speaker at the dinner. During the ceremony, Ralph Candidate clarifies statement Robert Ziegleman, Jr. said today that a Banner article Monday erroneously implied that he was blaming the problems of Cloverdale community schools on the superintendent. Ziegleman said he did not wish to throw the problems into the lap of the superintendent but only wished to return power to the superintendent. “I want the Job of the superintendent put back into the hands of the superintendent and taken out of the hands of one certain school-board member who is over at the schoolhouse everyday,” he said. Ziegleman was defeated in the recent school board elections.

Saigon wants to head talks with Cong President Nguyen Van Thieu today said South Vietnam would negotiate with the Viet Cong if his government heads the allied side and North Vietnam leads the Communist negotiating team in the Paris talks. Thieu said the Saigon delegation should “include representatives of the U.S. government and if necessary representatives of the other allies.” “On the other side, the Hanoi delegation can include members of auxiliary forces, labelled the National Liberation Front,” (Viet Cong’s political arm) Thieu told a news conference at the presidential palace. Thieu boycotted what was to have been the opening of expanded war talks in Paris Wednesday. At the time his government insisted it would never sit down to talks at which the Viet Cong—the NLF—was considered a separete delegation from the North Vietnamese. South Vietnam does not recognize the NLF. The Paris talks had to be postponed. Thieu said his proposal was a “reasonable one” which could assure “long lasting peace in South Vietnam and in Southeast Asia.” Immediately following his brief statement, he handed a copy of another statement to his information minister. It said the president had “not gone back on his word” in refusing to attend the Nov. 6 talks in Paris if the Continued on Page 2
Jaycee Community development month proclaimed by mayor The Greencastle Jaycees are joining with more than 6,000 other Jaycees chapters across America in observing November as U.S. Jaycees Community Development Month.

Teacher strike—a reality
Five years ago college students heading into teaching careers were repelled by the Idea of teacher strikes. Today they are not so sure it’s a bad idea. DePauw University educator Dr. Donald Orlosky says he sees this shift in student attitudes here. He thinks it’s part of a growing national trend for teachers to approve strikes as a method of resloving their grievances. “There has been a shift in our student body,” says Orlosky whose department is preparing 121 seniors for teaching. “Five years ago the idea of a classroom teacher strike repelled our students. Now they are more open minded. They are taking a broader look at strikes.” Orlosky is pretty unequivocal himself about strikes. “Our general leaning in this department is in opposition to militant action--like a strike.” But he quickly adds that a whole shift in teacher attitudes makes strikes a real possibility anywhere, anytime. “There’s a definite shift in the attitude in the teaching profession nowadays. The whole relationship between teachers and their employers (schools boards and administrators) is changing,” Orlosky says. “The classroom teacher thinks the administration should be helping him more,” observes Orlosky, “and he feels that his previous cooperation hasn’t always gotten him what he wants,” “Furthermore, the emergence of the American Federation of Teachers has argued that administrations and teachers are like management and labor. Many teachers—not necessarily members of AFT—have now come to

accept this as being true. “As a result, almost out of self-defense, organizations like the National Education Association are beginning to become a good deal like AFT—that is, more assertive.” Orlosky feels that increasing financial support is the only way to head off massive teacher discontentment that leads often to closed schools. “The classroom teacher feels he is inadequately rewarded considering his job, training and what others are getting. He feels overworked, underpaid and he wants to do something about it,” Orlosky said. Eighty-percent of all married men who teach in public schools are holding down a second job to make ends meet, according to Orlosky. This hardly adds to one’s self-esteem or economic satisfaction, he feels.
The growing cleavage that has developed between some teacher groups and administrators is taking decision-making into another dimension. “I see more pluralistic deci-sion-making emerging. Teachers in the educational establishment are coming into more equal weight in determining what the classroom teacher will do. The day when trustees, superintendents and certain strong principals could dicatate everything is passing.” Orlosky feels more pluralistic arrangements are as they should be. He feels teachers in the classroom are more knowledgable than ever and that they should be recognized as the origin of some good, educationally sound ideas. Orlosky recognizes that strikes are an ultimate weapon. He prefers something short of a strike. “State and professional organizations need to develop negotiating techniques so that strikes will not be necessary,” says Orlosky. “They are working on this, developing a sequence of steps so that before strikes occur the issues can be resolved.” He said a professional negotiating bill s a possibility in the Indiana State Legislature. Such a bill, he feels, will systemetize procedures for handling teacher grievances. He admitted he has expectations of mixed success for such a bill however. He said issues based on salary disputes could be resolved once both sides recognize the simple fact that only so much tax money is available for school systems. Other types of grievances will be more difficult. Continued on Page 5

Until compulsory vehicle inspection begins next year, State Police troopers will continue the spot check program. Superintendent Raney suggested that motorists should start now to Wishful thinking?
By EUGENE J. CADOU INDIANAPOLIS (UPI ) - President • elect Richard M. Nixon will form some type of coalition government, involving an offer of a cabinet, si zed post to his defeated rival, VicePresident Hubert H. Humphrey, Sen. Vance Hartke has predieted. Hartke said Nixon probably will realize he cannot govern effectively without some type of understanding and cooperation for the good of the nation with the Democrats, chiefly because they control both houses of Congress. The Indiana Democratic senator suggested Humphrey might be offered the post of U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. But he would not venture an opinion as to whether Humphrey would accept. Hartke said he had no definite evidence the coalition would occur. But he said indications are that it may. The reputation of Hartke as a seer was established when about two years ago he predict, ed flatly President Johnson would not run again and Humphrey would be the Democratic presidential nominee. He voiced that forecast at an Indianapolis news conference where reporters and political leaders scoffed. One of the most charitable opinions was that he had “gone balmy” in his constant attempts to gain publicity. But he was right. Nixon succeeded surprisingly when he obtained the backing of previously-hostile opponents for the GOP presidential nomi-

nation—Nelson D. Rockefeller and George Romney, who, according to reports, may be members of the Nixon cabinet. Hartke does not believe Rockefeller will be offered a post. But he would not comment on Romney’s possibilities. “But there will be no political honeymoon for President Nixon,” Hartke opined. “He has to face the fact that a Democratic Congress must be persuaded to go along with his programs because, after all, Congress holds the purse strings.” However, Hartke said he has “great admiration” for Nixon’s ability and believes that Democrats will cast aside politics and support those proposals of the White House that strive intelligently to settle the crying problems of the United States. “Mr. Nixon will be less of a hidebound * conservative than most people think,” Hartke said. “I will support him when I believe he is right.” | Weather watcher Becoming partly cloudy this afternoon and continued cool today.
