Teamsters dislike ‘Archie Bunker’ image
l ter it
wilt
WASHINGTON UP)—Miffed at
^liklwhat it sees as a television effort
"to portray
Archie Bunker as a
typical working 1 stiff, the Team
sters Union said Tuesday “The
average worker is no dingbat.”
APO pledges plan to fix up
several Hensel Park facilities
At the
aber Inc
Alpha Phi Omega’s 1971-72
pledge class will bend its back
Saturday in a project to fix up
Hensel Park facilities.
The national service fraternity
group plans to prepare and paint
the park cabin, veneer a barbe
cue pit, set road posts and clean
out Pin Oak Creek that bisects
the A&M property.
The James P. Hannigan Pledge
Class chaired by Bill Norris of
Dublin is the largest such APO
group in the United States.
Project chairman John Maz-
zurana of San Antonio expects
40 pledges of the 56-member class
to work. Several APO pledges
are members of the Fish Drill
Team, which will be at the na
tional championship competition
next weekend.
Besides painting the cabin, the
Xi Delta chapter pledges will
overhaul the Area II barbecue
pit used by Col. Logan Weston
for YMCA steak fries, set 64
posts near the cabin to prevent
cars entering grassed recreation
areas and “clean someone’s gar
bage” out of the creek, Mazzur-
ana said.
The work force will include
freshmen, sophomores and a
junior.
Numerous A&M student groups
use the College Avenue park for
recreation purposes.
“For some reason the writers
of those shows decided the aver
age worker is a dingbat—fat,
more than a little dumb, a com
mitted racist and most of all, very
comical,” the union said in its
new publication, Focus.
Bob Kasen, editor of Focus,
says many of the two million
Teamsters and members of other
unions resent it.
Archie Bunker, chief character
in “All in the Family,” is por
trayed as a slob-type worker in
a blue-collar job that is never
quite defined. He calls his wife
“dingbat,” his son-in-law “meat-
head,” makes racial and ethnic
slurs, and likes President Nixon.
Kasen said there is increasing
irritation among workers about
the Bunker image and references
in national newspaper columns to
“the Archie Bunker vote.”
“It means ‘the stupid worker’
vote,” Kasen said in an interview,
and added that the real-life typ
ical worker doesn’t like it, even
if he laughs occasionally at
Archie.
“Maligned in public, he knows
he’s being made fun of by the
so-called opinion makers. Increas
ingly hurt and angry, and resent
ful, he is quite ready to voice his
ifeedings in the voting booth,”
Kasen wrote.
“There are a lot of workers
who are thin, think everyone de
serves a truly equal opportunity,
are sincerely compassionate and
essentially intelligent,” Kasen
said.
“We think that increasingly
the resentment runs deep and
that the resentment helps account
for reactions in the voting booths
during this hot presidential
year.”
In an “open letter” to all pres
idential candidates, Kasen said
that if they talked to real-life
workers instead of eyeing “the
Archie Bunker vote,” they might
get a response like this:
“I’m tired. Tired of being label
ed a racist, hard hat, sloppy work
er, unproductive slob, underrepre
sented, made a fool of, and just
plain taken for granted.”
