Recent developments in
the Russell House give rise
to a serious question: how
organized is the Russell
WmiQf T Tnivf*r?:itv TTninn ^nH
its programs?
The various Russell
House services are extremely
diversified and
seem to be working as in
dependent operations. The
Gameroom has practically
"carried" the financial load
for the union, while Union
Station, directly across the
hall, is wallowing in debt.
Union Station employees
have attributed the losses
mainly to theft.
$11,000 worth of theft on
the second floor of Russell
House, one of the most open
areas in the building? Come
on, people, how many
customers shop behind the
counter?

A union is a confederation
of independent agencies

purpose. What is the main
purpose or goal of Russell
House?
IT APPEARS there is no
harmony among the
various bodies within the
union. This is reflected in
the ever-increasing rate of
