CSEA Protests
Move To Limit
Applications

ANY — The Civil Ser-
vic® Employees Assn, has
protested a State Civil Ser-
vice Department move to ac-
cept only the first 3,000 applica-
tions to take a beginning office
worker examination scheduled for
Capital District residents in the
early fall, it was learned at
Leader presstime.

The unjon's objection to setting
the numerica! limit on applicants
to be tested for the open-com-
petitive exam for appointment to
the grade three, four and five
salary level clerical positions is
that the procedure hinders the
right of state workers to com-
pete for the jobs on a promo-
tional basis

“Many state employees
in grades three or
to compete in this

“AS people now on the payroll
and doing satisfactory work, it
is their unquestionable right to

| Respond To Wenzl

Request To Clarify
Status Of Pensions

(Special to The Leader)

Through a special request sent by Theodore C. Wenzl,
president of the 210,000-member Civil Service Employees
Assn., to the New York State Employees System a notice
has been sent out to all employees participating in their

various plans informing them
that as a result of the recent
special session of the state’s Leg-
islature, negotiations for elections
of new or improved retirement
benefits will continue until June
30, 1974.

According to Wenal's letter, he
requested that William Walsh,
Deputy Controller, “clarify the
uncertainties among employers
concerning collective negotiations
for retirement benefits.” A memo
sent out by Walsh on June 18,
stated that “a moratorium had
been placed on the elections of
a new or improved retirement
benefit . Mf such benefit ts
included in a collective bargain-
ing contract concluded May 31,

Restructuring Committee Announces Plan
For Emergency Communications System

ALBANY The Civil Ser-
vice Employees Assn.'s
restructuring committee,
chaired by A. Victor Costa,
announced in a committee meet-
ing Aug. 8 the plans for the
adoption of a statewide emer-
gency communications system,
SECS.

It is the committee's feeling,
based on reports from the mem-
bership, that pertinent inform-
ation and information of an
‘emergency nature" is not being
disseminated to all regions of
the state in “orderly and coordi-
nated manner.”

The proposed communications
network would have as its basis
& two-part integrated system. The
original information would be
transmitted via telephone to an
appointed person in each region
This person would then contact

local officials in his area, pass-
ing along the pertinent data
The second phase would tn-
corporate Xerox "“telecopier”
which would flash the written
communication to all regional

offices for immediate dissemin-
ation to all local officials and to
rank-and-file members.

Costa indicated that this sys-
tem would do much to alleviate
the problem of “misinformation
(due to me lag) being circul-
ated to ¢ statewide member-
ship by word of mouth, rather
than from direct sources.”

Costa also stated that
to the September meeting, my
committee will release a final
report on Phase IIT, part 2, and

“prior

Phase IV and will release all re-
ferred proposals garnered from
the last four conventions.” These
proposals include some 16 items.

The September convention will
also be the setting for a report
on the proposals that are cur-
rently being implemented by CS-
EA,

Also discussed at the August
8 restructuring committee meet-
ing was the new model constitu-
tion for regions and chapters cur-
rently being studied by a joint
charter and restructuring com-

mittee, A release date of Oct, 1
is anticipated.

The restructuring committee
also approved the issuance of
a new plastic identification card
for members, to be mailed with
the ballots for the forthcoming
statewide elections. In conjunc-
tion with this, an improved,
three-part membership applica-
tion form has been approved. The
first and third parts of the
form would be assigned to Head-
quarters, and the second part
of the form would be turned

over to the chapter president.
This would insure more expedi-
tious handling of new member-
ship applications and would serve
as immediate notification to the
chapter presidents of the pres-
ence of new members,

A question-and-answer booklet
containing “the 50 most asked
questions” would be printed for
the use of chapter and unit pres-
idents, according to Costa, This
booklet, the committee believes
will help the local leadership be-

1973, or later.”

The new amendment, Senate
and Assembly #10, clearly
stated that the moratorium had
been lifted. It sald, “The pro-
visions of this act which extend
certain benefits to persons who
were denied membership in a
retirement system of the state or
a municipality thereof by the pro-
visions of chapter three hun-
dred eighty-three of the laws
of nineteen hundred seventy-
three shall not be construed to
be enactment of a new benefit
or an improvement in benefits
which will result in an increase
in costs for the purposes of sec-
tion four hundred thirty of the
retirement and social security
la’

“Accordingly,” said Wenal, “the
retirement system can accept the
election of a new or improved
retirement plan which definitely
allows the movement from one
retirement plan to another in
our political subdivisions."

The wording in the legislation
provides for CSEA negotiators
to bargain for two retirement
plans, According to Wenal, “CS-
EA negotiators will be bargaining
in behalf of incumbent employees
hired before July 1, 1973, for
benefits that remain unaffected
by the recent pension limitations,
while new employees hired after
the July date will be subject to
the retirement revisions,”

I have been following the
progress of “Broadway Joe,”
the pooch which was res-
cued by Engine 24 at the
scene of the Broadway Cen-
tral Hotel collapse.

Frankly, the day the dog was
found, the story was worth a
million bucks in public ~4m-
magery, The attitude of concern

the expression of the men

thelr manner of speaking

all pointed to one special
thing . . . nice guys!

Last night (the 15th) Chan-
nel 2 went back to the fire house
to see how Broadway Joe was
doing. When that segment of
the show was over, (they saved
it for last which is the spot they
hold for anything heart warm-
ing), I put out the lights and
did a bit of quiet thinking.

I mused about. how lucky the
fellows in the F.D. public re-
“lations department ought to feel
since they have the guys in
FDNY to work with. It seems
that every day there are a
couple of doven terrific stories
which would, each of itself alone,
lend itself to a good story in the
press, Trouble Is that these guys
are so modest that one has to go
sniffing around like a hound dog
ta, get at the facts, Most of the
firefighters just figure it’s thetr
Job, 80 what's all the hootin’ and
hollerin’ about.

Just think how horrible it
would be if the Fire Department
public relations guys were in the
shoes of the poor fellow who is
the flak for the traffic depart-
ment.

Take the case last Monday
when, with the usual balyhoo
and drum beating, they put sev-
eral three-wheeled scooters for
women into service. The front
of the Public Library on Fifth
Avenue was 8 logical place. How-
ever, City Hall would lave been
better, thus permitting “His
Worship" to get into the act.
Not withstanding however, after
the usual remarks, ete., were over,
somebody suggested that the flak

arranger have the girls go
into action and do their stuff for
the press, Whereupon, they got
on their scooters, pointed to
three press cars sitting across
the street, in a “no standing”
zone, and announced to a stun-
ned press corps that "we'll start
with those three press cars over
there." They zoomed across the
street and ticketed NYPers, be-
fore they could say boo! Not to
have to deal with idiots such as
they, must be quite a relief,

Returning from a false alarm
& few blocks away, the 44th Bat-
talion with Fireman Seymour
Schenker behind the wheel, was
directed to Brooklyn Box 1714.
‘The three story frame at 259 Lib-
erty Ave, was golng mad upon

building (exposure 4) and Sey-
mour could see that the fire was
already into that building. So, in
he went and found fire on the
second and third floors and peo-
ple in serious need of help.

He first grabbed a vic-
tim who had collapsed in-
side the door of his apart-
ment and was out like a light.
After he half-carried, half-drag-
ged him to the street, Schenker
went back and up into the teeth
of the fire on the third floor
where he found a woman in a
state of collapse, and her son un-
conscious, He grabbed the kid,
and carrying him, while leading
the mother, stumbled to the
street, There he haulage the
resucitator and worked all
three yictims, bringing them
around before sending them to
the hospital. The report doesn't
say so, but I have learned that
Seymour Schenker needed the
resucitator too, but tried to keep
it quiet so his wife wouldn't
worry, Well Seymour, I hear this
is old hat for you out there in
the 44th, and if your wife knew
some of the tight places you
have been In, she would get the
Sisterhood to have you lifted —
I won't say a word. Good luck

unthinkable.”

In its protest, CSEA asked
that the procedure be changed
“so as to provide that all state

employees’ applications filed be-
fore filing deadline be ac-
cepted” and that “any restriction
should apply to non-state work-
ers” who take the exam

In contrast to the establish-
ed tradition “of merit and fit-
ness in the examining process.
CSEA noted, “this new proce-
dure places a premium on the

Non-Teaching Broome
College Aides OK Pact

BINGHAMTON — The Broome Community College unit,
Civil Service Employees Assn., has approved a new two-year
contract with the college, providing for a 6 percent pay
increase for its some 100 non-teaching employees.

Unit president Prank P. Martin
said the proposed agreement was
ratified by the membership by
an almost unanimous vote with
only two dissenters.

Main items in the contract in-
clude the 6 percent pay hike and
the elimination of the three per-
sonal leave days entitled to each
employee annually. The three
leave days will be replaced by
two new holidays: Christmas Eve
and a holiday selected by the
employee any time during the
year.

In reviewing the negotiations.
Martin praised the efforts and
attitude of negotiators for the
unit and the county, Martin said
the negotiations were “strictly
business” with no conflicts or
outbursts of temper so common
to many undertakings of this na-
ture.

Martin also had exceptionally
high praise for the professional-

college golf course. The em-
ployees were represented by the
Civil Service Employees Assn.

The warning system, which
was connected directly to the
powerhouse, was installed to alert
the campus to possible break-ins
at the pro shop. Powerhouse
employees were instructed to no-
tify campus security if an alarm
sounded; however, there is no
campus security personnel on
the campus during the night.

‘The golf course is owned and
operated by the College Assn. of
Delhi Ine., an independent non-
profit organization

In spite of the fact that the
golf course Is not state-owned,
the College maintained that golf
instruction and the use of the
course are part of the physical
education programs and that its
students have free use of the
golf course

In reviewing the grievance,
Caesar J. Naples, assistant vice
chancellor for employee rela-
tions at State University, stated
“I find ‘that this grievance Is
similar to Grievance No. 178,
dated May 29, 1973, in which
the grievance appeals board
ruled that contractors who pro-
vide washing and drying ma-
chines should not use state em-
ployees for maintenance and
clean up. In the present case,
® non-state organization (CADI)
and an individual (the golf pro-
fessional) are being provided
with services by state employees.

“The grievance is sustained

are requested to inform Confer-
ence executive secretary John
Eversley (at 594-5800) no later
‘han Aug. 23 as to the number of
people expected to attend from
each chapter.

The Binghamton meeting, ac-
cording to former Central Con-
ference president Charles Ecker,
will be Sept. 7 at Fountain’s

and the campus is directed to
stop supplying security services
to the golf course.”

ployees represented by the Com-

The agreement also provides

sonal leave days for all groups,
increased sick leave, summer

ses and catastrophic sick leave
for cafeteria employees. Kath-
erine Sorll, unit president, was
alded by fleld representative Ir-
win M. Scharfeld.

Fireman Physicals

N June 12 US. District Court Judge Edward Weinfeld
ruled that the City’s competitive exam for fireman

was discriminatory and ordered a new one drafted that
would be more job related.

In addition, he ordered that instead of the current
qualifying physical exam, a competitive physical be given.
This supposedly would give black candidates a better
chance of being appointed firemen. The City is appealing
Weinfeld's decision citing initially that the cost and time
delay in establishing a new eligible list based on competitive
physicals would be unduly long. We think there are other
considerations that are hard to resolve.

If competitive physicals are supposed to bring about
more equitable racial hiring practices, does Weinfeld’s de-
cision imply that blacks are inherently physically superior
to whites? Or will the result of such competitive physicals
be that poor whites or whites without higher education
will also stand a better chance of appointment? If the latter
is true, and it was the case for over 50 years in the city
until competitive physicals were discontinued in 1968, black
candidates will not have a better chance of getting the job.
If neither blacks nor whites are better than one another
physically, any advantage in a competitive physical would
cancel out — regardless of how much the physical test
counted.

The problem lies in getting more meaningful tests
drafted and approved with the full participation of all par-
ties concerned, as Judge Weinfeld ordered,

It seems to us that it would be impossible to say whe-
ther a man who has scored very high on a competitive phy-
sical will be a better fire fighter than the one who has
met a standard set of qualifying physical tests, In what type
of fire or how many times in responding to an alarm is
brawn as valuable as brains? The responsibility is the same
for a 55-year-old veteran fireman as with a newcomer, but
perhaps his physical tune {s not as sharp as that of the
younger man, Does that mean he’s not providing the pub-
le with the best protection that the Fire Department can
provide? Perhaps, when the situation calls for it, the mid-
dle-aged firefighter can turn into a Hercules even though
he might never have had a flare for physical tests.

If the idea of having only the most physically
fit firemen serve the public, because allegedly they
can fight fires better, is taken to its extreme,
then why not have a competitive physical every year for all
uniformed firemen? Where does one draw the line with
regards to tenure and experience? This type of protection
is built into the civil service merit system.

One cannot deny that it is good, at least at the en-
trance level, to have the top physically fit candidates, How-
ever, Chief of Department John O'Hagan differs with Com-
misioner Robert Lowery on how important competitive phy-
sicals should be. Looking back on his many years rising
through the ranks in the department, O'Hagan said com-
petitive physicals should count about 25 percent of the
entrance tests. Lowery says 50 percent is better.

We believe that for the present, qualifying physical
exams are best. It would take little time in this way to
make sure a man is ft to fight fires, hire him on a quota
basis if racial hiring stands up in the courts, and put him
to work, Should a simple, cheap and non-bureaucratic com-
petitive physical be devised, we would urge its immediate
implementation with the understanding that fire officials,
firemen and minority groups all have an input In its design
and value in the overall test score.

preemption of prime television
time to discuss Watergate prob-
lems with the American people.

Posing the problem in a differ-
ent form, if Watergate were not
& consuming public issue, there
would have been no point to the
President's spending a lone
weekend at Camp David to pre-
pare for this television confron-
tation with the American public

Sensitive Issues

Whatever the merits may be
in the sensitive issues pending
in the courts between the Presi-
dent and the Senate Watergate
Committee and between the
President and special prosecutor
Archibald Cox, the basic fact ls
that the American public ts al-
ways intrigued by corruption in
high places, in a matter befitting
a democracy,

The special problems confront-
ing the President involve not
only Watergate disclosures but
the current investigation of Vice-
President Spiro Agnew revolving
about his activities as a public
official In Maryland.

Washington is not America,
but it is a city that is more
acutely conscious of political ten-
sions than any other city in the
Jand. Under those circumstances,
the President is more significant-
ly aware than anybody over ru-
mors and gossip that the Vice-
President may be obliged to re-
sign, and that under the 25th
Amendment, the President des-
ignates the successor Vice-Presi-
dent with the consent of the ma-
jority of both Houses of Con-
gress.

Along those lines, rumors In
Washington are rife with the
Prospect that the President
would nominate Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller for that post. Other
rumors refer to former Defense
Secretary Melvin Laird, former
Treasury Secretary John B. Con-
nally. Gov. Ronald Reagan of
California is eliminated from
consideration, because he hails
from the same state as the Pres-
ident.

Should events precipitate a
change in the holder of the Vice-
Presidency, the successor to Vice-
President Agnew would be on the
top rung of the ladder for the
Republican presidential nomina-
ton in 1976. The fact that Gov-
ernor Rockefeller heads the list
Of prospective replacements for
Agnew, should that become nec-
essary, is evidence of the high
respect held for the Governor
for his administrative capacities
and for his political sensitivity.

Pols everywhere liked the Gov-
ernor's quip at @ press confer-
ence when — asked a question
about Agnew's problems — he
said in effect that "I don’t like
to rise on the bodies of friends.”

Highly Sepeulative

Much of this is highly specu-
lative, There ts the prospect that
Agnew may emerge from his
tribulations smelling lke a rose,
in which case he would be the
frontrunner for the Presidential
nomination in 1976.

However, leading Republican
politicians throughout the land
are adopting ® wait-and-see at-
titude before they leap in any
direction, A similar approach Ia
the guiding star of Democratic
leaders, who are awaiting devel-
opments before moving forward
with prospective candidates in
1976.

‘The picture may at the mo»
ment be confusing, but it should
prove enlightening to the Amer-
jean voter aa events unfold,

Civil Service
Law & You ¢

By RICHARD GABA

}

Mr, Gaba is a member of the firm of White, Walsh and Gaba,
P.C., and chairman of the Nassau County Bar Association Labor
Law Committee.

Entitled To Due Process

A recent decision of the Suffolk County Supreme Court
dated April 18, 1973, states that where the state, as an
employer, conducts a hearing which could result in depriv-
ing the employee of his employment, the respondent em-
ployee is entitled to due process. The petitioner in this
case sought a judgment in a proceeding brought pursuant
to Article 78 CPLR against John 8, Toll, president of the
State University of New York at Stony Brook, and Thomas
O. Morgan, the hearing officer appointed pursuant to the
provisions of Section 75 of the Civil Service Law, prohibit-
ing the hearing officer from conducting the hearing on
charges brought against the petitioner by the State Uni-
versity unless the hearing was open to the press and public.
In response, Dr. Toll made a cross-motion to fix a day
certain for the commencement of the hearing in view of
the delay, which he claimed was brought about by the
Article 78 proceeding commenced by the petitioner

THE PETITIONER, Warren Randall, is employed by
the State University of Stony Brook as a senior financial
secretary, and at the time this proceeding was commenced,
there were pending against him a series of charges. If he
was found guilty it could have resulted in the loss of his
employment.

It has previously been held that employment is
“property” within the meaning of the due process clause
of the United States Constitution, and where the state
conducts a hearing which may result in deprivation of em-
ployment, the employee is entitled to due process, That
due process requires that the hearing be open to the press
and public.

In defense of this proceeding, the State Attorney
General contended that the determination of the hearing
oficer to conduct the closed hearing was not arbitrary, and
that it was within his power to make such determination.
The New York State Civil Service Commission publishes a
manual for hearing officers, which emphasizes the general-
ly desirable public policy that administrative hearings be
open to the public. The manual outlines certain areas
where exceptional circumstances may dictate or warrant
that the hearing officer exclude the public

IN A MEMORANDUM decision of the hearing officer
dated March 22, 1973, in response to an application for an
open hearing, the hearing officer cited no exceptional cir-
cumstances to justify his decision to exclude the public
The court went on to say that it was conceivable that dur-
ing the course of the hearing a situation could develop
that would justify temporary exclusion of the public due to
exceptional icreumstances, and should this occur, the
hearing officer would be within his rights to exclude the
public,

In this case, however, the court found, “The hearing
officer has exceeded his jurisdiction by his pre-hearing de-
termination. Where this has occurred and such error is
not adequately remedial by an appeal, the hearing officer
may be prohibited from proceeding in excess of his juris-
diction. Accordingly, the petitioner is entitled to a judg-
ment prohibiting the respondent Morgan from conducting
a closed hearing in this case.”

This case {s significant not only from the standpoint
that it holds a hearing must be open to the public unless
good and sufficient reasons appear to the contrary, but
even more important it recognizes that in the course of
the administrative process that a job is a property right
and that the possible loss of that job through the admin-
istrative process requires the protections of due process.

RAISE QUESTIONS
President Nixon has until Aug

the next w

raise

will be. It had been assumed Mr
Nixon would defer the next
October scheduled boost until

Jan. 1 but union members of the
Federal Pay Advisory Council are
urging that equity demands be
scheduled for Oct, 1. They argue
that Inflation has already eaten
up the as yet unreceived raises.

If the President wants, the
raise (probably 5.5 percent)
could fit into the Phase IV pro-
@ram on the basis that living
costs have soared since the Jan-
wary, 1973, boost

27, 1921, and there are those
who claim I haven't stop-
ped since, Did nothing really

GA Manual and a dedicated and
overworked staff we are doing
our small part to alleviate the
job security problems of this 100
pereent minority group and high-
ly disadvantaged community.

Joined the CSEA out of the
erscnal conviction that collec-
tive representation was neces-
Sary to preserve the dignity and
economie security of all civil ser-
vants. I have become active in
the Metropolitan chapter Division
of Employment in order to do
my small bit toward the eventual
attainment of this elusive and
all too frequently opposed goal.

For the past four (4) years
T have served as a Vice-President
of the local chapter and am
chairman of several committees
dedicated to the proposition that
Mr. Lincoln included civil ser-
vants when he spoke of govern-
ment of the people, by the peo-
ple and for the people,

WORK CONFERENCE
AT TEACHERS COLLEGE

CHIEF SCHOOL OFFICERS From 22 States,
Canada And The Virgin Islands attended the 32nd
annual Superintendents Work Conference at
‘Teachers College, Columbia University, for two
weeks in July.

‘The workshops focus-
ed on the varied fune-
tions of chief school of-
ficers in complex, mo-
dern-day school sys-
tems and presented
many well-known, and
some controversial,
speakers under the
chairmanship of Dr.
Carroll F. Johnson, pro-
fessor of education at
the college.

Dr. Ewald B. Nyquist,
state Commissioner of 4
Education, spoke on

BLOOMFIELD
“Optional Learning En- JACK
vironments.” As usual, he introduced his talk with
humorous stories:
LAUGH-IN WITH NYQUIST — “Maybe You
Haven't Heard the one about the small son who
brought home his repor card to his mother. The
teacher had written on the card, ‘Your son is
doing fine in his studies, but he can't keep his
mind off the girls.”

“Back the next day came a note to the teacher:
‘If you find the solution, let me know. His father
has the same problem.’

“I Am Sure All Of You Are Aware, Too, of the re-
cent federal legislation which provides equal em-
ployment rights for women. The government re-
cently sent compliance questionnaire to one
business firm and one question asked: ‘Please
list all of your top management staff, broken
down by sex.”

“Back came the reply: “This !s not our prob-
Jem. Alcohol is.’ *

“Carroll Johnson Sent Me The Invitation to be
with you this afternoon, In closing his gracious
and cordial invitation, he said that my being here
would serve the same purpose as the body at a
wake. It is absolutely essential for having the
party, but you don’t expect it to do very much,

“Well, A Lot Of People Keep Me Humble. I re-
plied to Carrol] Johnson that he reminded me of
the time when three English brigadier generals
and an enlisted man, all strangers to each other,
happened to get into the same compartment in a
train going to London. After a moment, they de-
cided to introduce themselves. ‘Well,’ said the
first, “I am a brigadier general, I am retired. I
am married. I have two sons, and they are both
very successful.”

“The second followed with, “I, too, am a briga-
dier general, 1 am retired and married. I also
have two sons and both are brilliantly successful”

“And the third bad a paraliel history, ‘I am also
a brigadier general. I am retired, 1 am happily
married, and have two sons who have already
reached distinction.

“They waited a moment and then turned con-
descendingly to the enlisted man who introduced
himself

‘Tam @ sergeant. IT am still on active duty.

1 am not married, I have two sons and both are
brigadier generals”
“I Was Given No Instructions on what I should
say this afternoon. Maybe you will receive my re-
marks like the litte middle-aged lady who went
t a women's clothing store and bought what she
thought was a pair of pantyhose. (You know it's
a new day when you overhear one secretary say-
ing to another secretary: ‘Oops! I just wore a
hole in the seat of my stockings.’)

“Anyway, this particular iday came back to
the store the next day. irate, and demanded her
money back from the manager. Said he, ‘Don't
they come up to your expectations?”

“Come up to my expectations!’ exclaimed the
lady, ‘why they don't even come up to my
knees!

“Well, hopefully, these remarks will come up
to your knees at least, if not your expectations.”
Optional Learning Environments — “In recent
years, we have seen throughout the United States
an almost explosive growth of what are called
‘alternative schools.” There are many types of
schools included in this catch-all term and, as
Newsweek's education editor Jerrold Pootlick says,
‘Trying to define an alternative school is lke

THE EDUCATION ARENA

By DR. JACK BLOOMPIELD

describing a dog by trotting out a St. Bernard, a
whippet and a Chihuahua’

yer am convinced that the most freewheeling
of the alternative schools, what someone has call-
ed “the touchy-feely’ schools — ere on the way
out and that, instead, there will be more structured
alternatives within the public schools. If any-
thing, the public schools will develop more op-
tions to meet more diverse student needs, which is
what I've been pushing for right along

“In order to know where we're headed, how-
ever, we should start by looking at the present
education system and some of the forces call-
ing for change.”

“THE MAN WHO HAS DONE MORE FOR THE
TEACHING PROFESSION SINCE LEAVING IT
‘Than When He Was In it." According to Sam
Levenson's latest book, “In One Era And Out The
Other,” ‘Simon and Schuster, August 20, 1973),
that’s what the inscription said on a bronze plaque
presented him by a national organization,

Mf the description carries any truth, it's only
because he has now spent more time out of the
classroom than in it. It's not because he might
have been a mediocre teacher. Quite the opposite.
He's remembered as an outstanding one. The sound
values he imparts today in the mass media, in-
cluding this book, are obviously part of a lifelong
philosophy.

As can be expected, the book is an autobio-
graphy. In it, we hear him talk in his usual veln—
with a mixture of nostalgia, philosophy and
bumor.

In the process, he offers the reader opportunities
to listen to fast-paced monologues on child-rear-
ing, the generation gap, growing up [rom rags to
riches, sex, and teaching—all of it new, even if
you've beard him many times before.

Here are some samples of his comments on
classroom capers:

When he insisted his students call him "Mr."
Levenson, the answer would come fiying back,
“You mean you're married?”

One time, when one student insisted he couldn't
see Levenson's handwriting on the chalkboard,
Levenson kept writing larger and larger. Then
he asked the student, “Now can you see?"

This time the response came, “Whadja say?"
Then there were the challenge to the late-
comers. These were the answers:
© “I'm not late. The bell is early.’
© “I heard the school burned down.” ‘Levenson

“Then why did you bother to come?)
"I couldn't believe it.”
° “It was late when I left home.” Levenson
“Then why didn't you start out earlier?")
“It was too late to start out earlier.”

When Leyenson Found A Student Was Late In Re-
turning To The Classroom, he sent a second stu-
dent to find the first. When the second didn't re-
turn, he sent a third.

He writes, “In about twenty minutes, I had the
whole class out looking for the class, I was afraid
to stay in the room all by myself, so I went jook-
ing for them too. I couldn't find them, When I got
back to room, there were all forty of them, in
their seats, waiting to greet me a capella with
‘Where were you? The principal was looking for
you,”

On Students Playing Hookey: "If a kid cut
school to go to the movies, I would have him
stand in front of the class the next day and give
® report on what the picture was about, list the
cast, and repeat the jokes of the stage-show
comedian, Pred Kolmar was the first to break
down. He pleaded with me: 'I can’t do it. I ain't
enjoyin’ the picture no more. I gotta sit there
memoriaing.’
“So I excused him from further hookey.”

The Book's Theme; “It's this way, I started out in
one era and arrived in another, The trip took half
% lifetime. By the time I got to my good old
dream castle at the end of the rainbow, it had
been condemned and replaced by something more
up-to-date in prefabricated temporary contem-
porary. The times had changed.

“T met all the challenges, reaped the rewards,
‘and now find myself with everything a man could
ask for, Including an outstanding collection of
doubts, misgivings, and ambivalences tn all sizes.”

‘Mama's Epigrams: “If you don't have an educa-
tion, you have to use your head.”

"A peny is a lot money 4 you haven't got a
cent.”

But that role could be estab-

the civil service employees of
New York State.

As a member of the Restruc-
turing committee, Jack was a
major force in opening the vote
to all members. He gave a per-
sonal vote of confidence to this
democratic process by waiving
the final portion of his term as
Conference President. The next
president will be elected by this
one man-one vote process. In
May of 1973, the New York City
chapter awarded Weisz a plaque
“in recognition of distinguish-
ed and meritorious service as a
member of the Committee to Re-
structure the CSEA

Jack Weisz has never stopped
fighting to preserve the merit
aystem. He is respected by the
membership for his honesty and
conscientiousness in fighting for
the rights of hospital workers
office workers, maintenance peo-
ple and the professional and sel-
entific employees. In 1967, he

won a suit to overturn “un-
fair hiring practices of parole
officers. Weisz led the fight to
upgrade parole officers five
grades since 1957

Weiss has defended workers
in every rank, insuring soctal

justice for all. He has never ac-
cepted the disciplinary proce-
dures of arbitrators as final de-
cision. He supported the judicial
system of this country and the
right to appeal to the courts for
justice, It was Wels, who in
1961, filed a suit against New
York State on behalf of parole
officers who were required to
work 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week, He won over $250,000 for
the employees and established

their right to receive overtime
pay, He fought to get the $6,-
500 minimum pay effective 1974
and to preserve the increments,
Weisz also led the fight to main-

public employment. During his
tenure as Statewide CSEA Sal-
ary committee Chairman one
of more than a dozen positions
he has held in the organization
- some half billion dollars in
wages in addition to other ben-
efits were gained for State work-
ers.

Bendet remains an innovator
for CSEA. He seeks election as
President of the New York Reg-
ton in order to (1) stop inflation-
ary erosion of pension bene-
fits by fighting for the same half-
pay pension for 20 years service
that the Legislature voted for
itself and retirement pay tled to
the salary grade at which one
retires; (2) push for the agency
shop; (3) secure the post of shop
stewards at all job sites, in or-
der to improve service to the
membership.

He is deeply concerned about
the safety of State employees
who are being required to work
in new high-rise office buildings
that, he alleges, are “fire traps.
He has secured some improve-
ments but not enough. Buildings
such as the World Trade Center
in New York City, and the Twin
Towers in Albany, New York.
must be made absolutely safe
We should not await the oceur-
rence of a major tragedy before
all possible safety measures are

adopted.
During the last Presidential
election, the executive board of

the New York City chapter of
which Bendet ts president, sup-
ported the efforts of Governor
Rockefeller to secure Federal
Revenue Sharing

‘The successful culmination of
those efforts enabled the State
to secure sufficient funds to grant
the modest two-year, 12 per-
cent pay raise provided for in
the new CSEA contract

In addition, these funds also
allowed for the continuance of
much-needed educational and
poverty programs for our disad-
vantaged citizens.

In view of the unprecedented
inflation which has taken place
since the last salary increase,
Bendet advocates that the con-
tract be reopened so that an ad-
ditional increase will be granted
leviate the financial difficul-
which employees and retirees
have suffered because of this in-
flation

Other committees on which
Bendet has served include Board
of Directors committee, Negoti-
ations, Pension, Insurance, Bud-
get, Legisiative and Charter. He
has long been a member of the
CSEA Board of Directors repre-
senting the Insurance Depart-
ment, 1s president of the New
York City chapter, a former
president of the Metropolitan
New York Conference, and a
former Vice-President of CSEA
He holds his present competitive

civil service position as a result
of having succeeded in several
promotion examinations. Among

the many awards with which he
has been honored is the "Civil
Service Award for Brotherhood

Solomon Bendet desires to con
tinue his Mght for a better life
for public employees and he asks
for your vote.

Irving Flaumenbaum, past Statewide First Vice-Pres-
ident, Past President of the Long Island Conference and

says it is vital that the first president of the new Long

The power and prestige of the Long Island Region, with
almost 50,000 members in state, county and other municipal
subdivisions, could be preeminent among the regions.
