Sat. 822-6105 8 a.m.-5 p.m. 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Where can it all end? You know what I am talking about. Strikes, of course. Look what the baseball play ers started. It must be the American thing to do. The newest fad in a long line of fads. Sort of like music, clothes and other assorted things. Wonder how long this one will last? Let’s see, since the baseball strike began six weeks ago sev eral other professions have threatened to walk out for high er pay and better benefits. The airlines’ near strike a couple of weeks ago is a prime example of the latest “in” thing to do. I guess they figure that if an “essential” profession such as baseball can walk out and stay out despite all of the criticism they’ve encountered that a re latively “nonessential” profes sion can too. I think that’s pretty good thinking myself. That’s only one instance, though. This week’s strike Hangin’ out 74 with Ritchie Priddy attempt features the U.S. Postal Service. This is where all this strike business really begins to bother me. I can’t live without two let ters a week from my girlfriend. There’s just no way. It doesn’t matter that she won’t write, but if she would . . . well, if she would things would be diffe rent. Anyway, nobody wants to close any mailboxes that could contain those magical letters that keep you going. I’m sure that the postal work ers need all the money they are asking for. 1 do too but people don’t seem to listen. Maybe if the sportswriters of America organized and then walk out we could get results. After all, we are essential to the American way of life — aren’t we? Wonder how long America can survive without its morning (or afternoon) sports page? Probably a lot longer than I hope to find out. But the point is, if you want to accomplish something in today’s world you’ve got to at least threaten to strike. And, if by chance, the administration calls your bluff you’ve got to be able to walk out without losing your job. That’s the hard part — walk ing out and still have your job. But, what really separates the men from the boys is being able to walk out and still get paid, or in the case of the baseball play ers get credit for playing when they didn’t. 1 think, well, let’s sayl#. the American people aresl{ ( ing to stand up and male .■ whole game of baseball list' ' their complaints.
