(The following speech was made by OLIVER HARVEY .)
Thank you. Well, as they said, I appreciate your
inviting me here. And I stay in meetings so much, I‘11 only
repeat this one time. I just came from one with the
(unintelligible). When I first came in I felt somewhat
uncomfortable. I had met a few of the students (next few
words unintelligible.) And I saw DICK LAMBERT and HARRY BOYD and
became a little more comfortable. (Next few sentences unintelligible.)

I'd like to state here that you know what, what's his
name? (Another voice answers “FMEDDI“.") FREDDIE, what you are
talking about. Thie would have to happen to us. You are somewhat
in a better position to the extent that we were. Before we began
we had to first in effect try to ‘et this idea over to students.
But that was very hard to do. As a matter of fact, they didn't
get in on it until we began starting ourselves.

To make my point briefly, is that in the building I
work now there is an elevator there. But I worked eleven years
without giving nobody once an elevator. ‘the building is five stories
high and I had to walk the steps very quickly. And then I went to
work in the building where I work now, and the elevator was broken
down. And there was a dummy, and bejn: spoiled by an elevator, I
crawled up the dummy. But too lazy to walk up the steps. The
next night I went to work, the elevator still would not run and I
was told to use the dummy again tonight. And I went around to
the dummy, and lo and behold, it was out of order. And I had to
walk up the steps.

I want to tell you as I walked up those steps, something
came to me. What about your fellow employees who work in the
(unintelligible) and still walk up steps? And I began
to think that I was too concerned about myself and I decided that
occasionally I would walk those steps. And finally, after I walked
those steps I stopped. I became adjusted to this and prosperity.
So it is in the struggle that you’re in. The main thing
is getting the idea over to your fellow employees. And the most
significant thing is when you start those too, that some nice things
will be done for employees. If you will get them the decent things
will be done.
