     H "Old! 13?: has a spec1 
     
     ial gift, he's able to 
     
     touch every student who 
     
     comes in the Duffy Bldg. 
     
    

    
     - he touches their'very 
     
     soals. He never talks 
     
     much to anyone, but at 
     
     times he pours all that 
     
     is within his being-out 
     
     to the cleaner. He's ' 
     
     faithfully at his job 
     
     366 days a year. I've 
     
     heard-it said time and 
     
     time again that people 
     
     just walk all over him, 
     
     and of course it is true 
     
     they do. Mat always does 
     
     his job, without thOLght 
     
    

    
     . of reward, or consequence 
     
     to his own personal safe- 
     
     ty of feelings, he is 
     
     satisfied just doing his 
     
     job well. 
     
    

    
     Mat goes way way back 
     
     to when the Duffy Build— 
     
     ing was first built, the 
     
     new floors when wet were 
     
     treacherously slippery, 
     
     when the snows came out 
     
     the floors were disaster 
     
     areas for walking, now, 
     
     with Old' at there, the 
     
     students can relax a bit 
     
     when they came in frm 
     
     the outside with wet or 
     
     snowey footwear, they can 
     
     stomp off excess water, 
     
     or trample on Old Mat, 
     
    
   
   
    
     and be on their way in 
     
     safety to some extent... 
     
     A tribute to Old Mat, 
     
    

    
     one of Duffy Building's 
     
     silent floor hugging ser- 
     
     vants. Old Mat has been 
     
     nominated for one of the 
     
     Duffy Building's Citizens 
     
     of the year awards, in 
     
     the category of floor 
     
     huggers over eight sea- 
     
     sons of continuous ser- 
     
     vice. Keep your eyes 
     
     pealed for the results.

     If you job prospects 
     
     after graduation seem dim 
     
     and the debts are pliling 
     
     up, a new group can help 
     
     you deal with the realit- 
     
     ies of unemployment. 
     
    

    
     The Saskatoon Union of 
     
     Unemployed Workers, rec- 
     
     ently formed by more than 
     
     100 unemployed workers, 
     
     aims to: 
     
    

    
     - help members deal with 
     
    

    
     problems arising from un— 
     
     , employment; .. 
     
    

    
     — fight for lasting and 
     
    

    
     useful jobs; 
     
    

    
     - act as an official lobby 
     
    

    
     group to government, the 
     
    

    
     public and unions; 
     
    

    
     - 'establish a centre for 
     
    

    
     the unemployed. 
     
    

    
     The new union, similar 
     
     to those established dur- 
     
     ing the 1930s, is critical 
     
     of the ways in which inst- 
     
     itutions deal with the 
     
     unempl

     "We 've organized out 
     
    
   
   
    
     of necessity; the unemployed 
     
     need their own organization 
     
    
   
   
    
     to speak on their own be- 
     
     half, " said David Littman, 
     
     unemployed carpenter and 
     
     union representative. 
     
     Union members blame 
     
     the eoonamic policies of 
     
    
   
   
    
     government and big bus- 
     
    
   
   
    
     iness for millions of un- 
     
     employed, many of whom 
     
     have no access to unem- 
     
    
   
   
    
     ' ployment benefits or wel- 
     
    
   
   
    
     fare. 
     
    

    
     Students are ineligible 
     
     for UIC benefits unless 
     
     they've been employed for 
     
     20 weeks during their 
     
     studies. 
     
    

    
     The member service 
     
     component of the union is 
     
     designed to assist members 
     
     in dealing with UIC, wel- 
     
     fare, landlords, debt col— 
     
     lectors, mortgages and to 
     
     inform the unemployed of

     "They don't tell you 
     
     anything," said Roger Coutts 
     
     an unemployed heavy equipt— 
     
     ment operator, referring 
     
     to UIC pamphlets that con- 
     
     tain no instructions and no 
     
     information about the app- 
     
     licants' rights or appeal 
     
     options. 
     
    

    
     "You're just cut off 
     
     when you're out off." 
     
    

    
     Other unions for un—
