S.L.C. denies support to Biafran rally
The S tudents’ Legislative C ouncil has decided to endorse the stand o f the Federal G overnm ent on the N igerian C ivil W ar and not to support a dem onstration scheduled for Saturday aim ed at dram atizing the p light o f the Biafran people.
Arts R epresentative, M ark M ed ico ff in troduced a m otion “ that the S .L .C . endorse and approve o f the dem onstration to be held Saturday on behalf o f the Biafran people and condem n the C anadian governm ent for its inaction on the m atter” . M e d ico f f s m otion was subsequently defeated by a vote o f 5 to 4.
The feeling o f those w ho voted against the m otion was eloquently articulated by S tudent A ffairs V ice- President, Laurie A bram s, after the m eeting, w hen he com m ented that he d idn ’ t care abou t the plight o f the Biafrans as long as he was able to en joy the com forts o f his environm ent. He qualified the statem ent by saying that he, personally, would donate m oney for this “ w orthy cause" but that he w ould not go against the wishes o f the governm ent by endorsing a vote o f condem nation for their stand.
Representatives from C om m erce, Science and Engineering also voted against M e d ico ffs m otion.
There is a possib ility that a revised version o f the m otion m ay be introduced at a future C ouncil meeting.
In other business, C ouncil also defeated a m otion presented by E ducational V ice-President, D onald R osenbaum , proposing that the “ SLC refuse to send representatives to m eetings o f the U niversity C ouncil until they are declared open to m em bers-at-large o f the U niversity C om m unity. This m otion was a m odified version o f an earlier one
introduced by Aids R epresentative, M urray Sm ith , to the effect that C ouncil refuse to a ccep t “ tok en istic" representation on the facu lty and U niversity C ouncils. S m ith ’ s m otion had no seconder.
O fficia l C ouncil action on the Senate proposals was nearly stym ied when a R osenbaum m otion to form an ad hoc com m ittee o f the SL C to prepare a proposal for the reorganization o f U niversity governm ent at S G W U , found few volunteers.
M ark M ed ico ff and C olin W heeler (S cien ce) im m ediately offered their services but it took som etim e for a third C ouncil m em ber, E xternal V ice-P resident, S olom on Schinasi, to grudgingly volunteer.
C ouncil also delegated individual facu lty associations to select their own representatives for positions on the facu lty councils. T he associations m ay choose their own m ethods of selection.
On Tuesday, October 8 the cessation of major activities of the SLC is scheduled in order to allow the members of this body to convene and discuss the direction of the SLC. Students are urged to participate and present briefs.
Suspension of prof precipitates sit-in

Posters; m atresses; people; gu itars; food supplies; soup boiling over a bunsen burner. C igarette sm oke has becom e an air-substitute. Som e sit outside L iberation 130 to breathe every now and again. A com m issionaire, som etim es a university- paid security policem an , peers around the corner o f the corridor - ju st checking.
The p lace is Loring B ailey H all, the Physics and B iology Building- on the Fredericton cam pus o f the University o f New Brunsw ick. The tim e is anytim e betw een Thursday
Sept 26 and today, T uesday Oct. 1. L iberation 130 is the office of Dr. N orm an Strax, tem porarily suspended from his duties as physics professor on T hursday m orning (Sept. 26).
T he episode originated w ith a d e cision by U .N .B .'s adm inistration to obta in I.B .M . cards for the library in lieu o f the regular university identification cards. Strax, and a group o f S .D .S .ers vehem ently o b jected to the m easure claim ing ab rid gem ent o f civil liberties because, he said that the action w ould, am ong other things, prevent non-students from using the library facilities.
Strax ’ s subsequent suspension, resulting from the dem onstration , pre
cip itated the sit-in. Strax has also defied a court in junction w hich had ordered him o ff the cam pus. The people in and around L iberation 130 want, at the very least, on ly that Strax be ju stly treated, reinstated and/or given fu ll exp lanation b y the adm inistration (and /or board o f go vernors) for his suspension.
The dem onstrators are an ideologically heterogeneous group. Som e are New Leftists; som e are SD S radicals; som e are liberal d em ocrats; som e social dem ocrats; som e dem ocratic socialists. Som e o f the dem onstrators are ideologica l con servatives; they are protesting the arbitrary suspension o f a facu lty
m em ber by an oligarchic, po litica lly irresponsible elite.
A ll decisions at L iberation 130 are dem ocratica lly voted upon. This reporter w atched on, taken by surprise, as the th irty or forty dem on strators took a vote on whether to allow access to a C B C newsm an.
Strax has been sum m oned to appear in court in St. John (68 m iles south o f here) at 9 am W ednesday, Oct. 2, on a charge o f contem pt o f court. He refused to com ply with an in junction presented him M onday m orning, ordering him to end his dem onstration and vacate his office in B ailey Hall.

I attended the b itch -in with the intention o f b itching about people w ho d o nothing but bitch. As it turned out m y words at that “ gathering of eagles” w ould have been irrelevant, as a great percentage of the approxim ately 37.5 attendees (the poin t 5 is in reference to one gentlem an w ho cam e, saw, delivered his d iatribe, felt that he had contributed to the struggle against apathy and prom ptly departed) are involved in one area of activism or another. Therefore, in an a ttem pt to bring the student body an im portant word from their sponsor, I herewith subm it this serm on to the great mass o f the unwashed.
The central or m ost recurrent them e at the b itch-in was the in com petent and inadequate system o f registration. If the reader is a freshm an or a sophom ore, please note that the present system of registration will screw you up tw ice or
-once—in the future - respectively. So, I w ould like to inform you that your co m p laint and subsequent assailm ent o f the system is legitem ate - but we d on ’ t do anything but talk about it - and m erely discussing it in the cafeteria am ong ou rselves is not going to alleviate this p rob lem. The same is app licable to the d ifficulties surrounding a satisfactory b ook store policy , cafeteria etc.
It is not m y purpose here to discuss the best m ethod of reform , that is whether the problem s can best be solved by revolution or evolution - th at’ s up to your individual politica l philosophy. H ow ever, I w ould like to point out (I am w ell aware that I am a victim o f obscurantism and tokenism ) that there are jo in t student- facu lty com m ittees open to at-large-stu- dent representation and by conscientious representation an effort can be m ade to am eliorate some of these problem s. One statem ent w hich sum m ed up the feelings
o f those w ho attended the sum m er con ference, (the corelation o f SLC m em bers not attending the sum m er conference and the B itch -in was interesting) was “ the adm inistration w ill listen to us when we have som ething to say” . As long as we just sit on our cans and bellyache (litera lly?) in the cafeteria, we have nothing to say and the adm inistration has nothing to listen to.
Last O ctober, 2,500 students held a sit-in to protest inaction over the im plem entation o f a report recom m ending student representation on the a cadem ic policy m aking bodies and governing boards of the u n iversity. B ut how m any really knew w hy they were there? M ost o f those that thought they were aware as to w hy they were there, thought that they were there to protest against the bookstore (sic) (obscu - rantim , an yone?). B ut even assum ing that everyone knew the purpose o f the sit-in , how m any really gave a dam n ? A statistic if I m ay - roughly 1,500 people in Arts were eligib le to app ly for three positions on F aculty and U niversity C ouncil and only six people bothered to file a p p lications. D id you know that students are being sought for to sit on Faculty su b com m ittees - w ith the sam e voting and discussion rights as any D ean or departm ent head? No. Because you d on 't give a dam n.
In sum m ation , we find that the prevelant attitude on cam pus is one o f “ I d on 't give a d a m n '’ - the peasants d on ’ t give a dam n, the knights don ’ t give a dam n and the king sure as hell doesn 't give a dam n. Students, facu lty , adm inistration. R evolt-fine, evolve - fine - but above all - give a dam n. F inally, the easiest thing in the world is to be a shit - d isturber - how m any o f us are interested enough to be shit-rem overs.
French to implement educational reforms
■ (C P S ) -- An educational reform program , w hich if carried out w ill significantly erode centralized governm ent control over university life was approved last week by the French governm ent.
The program , the governm ent's answer to the massive student-w orker strike last M ay, is considered the first sign ificant change in centuries in the education system of France. Its passage through the C abinet is credited to new m inister of education Edgar Faure.
T he reform s still m ust be approved by Parliam ent. D ebate there is scheduled to begin today, and Faure ex pects passage o f the m easures. Im plem entation o f structural changes is scheduled for February.
T he m ajor change provided for in the program is the establishm ent o f a governing cou ncil in each university, to be m ade up o f students and professors, students constituting “ up to h a lf" the m em bers. T he councils will set their own policies and procedures for budgeting, a d
m inistration , teaching m e- ■ thods, exam inations and m ain tenance o f order. T he president o f the university will be elected by the student- facu lty council, and w ill serve as ch ief adm inistrative o fficer.
T he reform m easure also contains provisions for a llow ing student p olitica l activ ity on cam pu ses--activ ity w hich has always been strictly ba n ned.
The m easures w ill give new power not on ly to students, but also to professors, w ho under the present system of alm ost com plete control from Paris had as little voice as students in the running o f the universities.
Som e observers see the e- du cation reform measure as a forerunner o f change in all areas o f French socia l and politica l life, m oderation o f the doctrine o f centralized control over all aspects of life w hich has ruled France since the R evolution .
S tudent reaction to the reform s seem s m ixed. A lthough the m ore radical students reportedly are con tem ptuous o f
the changes and determ ined to re-start the protests when school opens in O ctober, m a ke-up exam inations from last M ay have been adm inistered on all university cam puses w ithout m ajor in cident and w ith abou t 90 per cent a t tendance.
Pope praises youth protest
V A T IC A N C IT Y (C P S ) - Pope Paul, in an audience yesterday, said “ the new generation deserves praise" for its rebellion against “ trad itional hypocrisies."
T he Pope called young p eo ple ’ s reactions in protests and dem onstrations “ unleashed against w ell-being, against the bureaucratic and tech n ological order, against a society deprived o f superior and really hum an ideals, perhaps the result o f insufferance of psychologica l, m oral and sp iritual m ediocrity ...aga in st the im personal un iform ity o f our surroundings as m odern c ivilization has m ade th em ."

HTowards a more
relevant educationIt is very diffucult to discover at first w h a t Professor
Compton 's letter (appear ing on this page) refers to. In looking over all the issues of the georgian that so far appeared, w e do not find a barrage of insults or misinformation directed at the administrat ion. Two recent criticisms of registration m a y have been a bit sharp, but an article which included the admini strat ion 's v iew of the problem appeared in the very first issue, (with suggest ions that they have not yet commented upon).
Information about the inner work ings of the adm in i s tration can only come from them and when such information is received w e will be g lad to publish it; ( and w e hope it will be more concise than w h a t w e have heard from the cafeteria or bookstore in the past.)
If there exists an elementary ignorance about w ha t universities have been and are, w e have done our best to dispel it: (see the articles which appeared in the supplement to the second issue).
If Professor Compton feels that our proposal for complete student control of the university is naive, then w e must agree with him. It is naive, certainly, to believe that the administration will easily hand over to us the reigns of government. It is naive also to believe that when this happens all administrat ive problems will cease to exist immediately. It is usually on these two points that criticism is directed aga ins t the student movement, and for this reason most such criticism is meaningless. These are not the contentions of student power advocates.
Our a ims are not to m ake administrat ion more efficient by replacing experienced executives with inexperienced students. Our aim is to change the funda mental goals towards which the efforts of the adminis-. tration are directed. Our a im is to achieve the freedom to determine these goa l s for ourselves. W e are only secondarily interested in administrative problems; (particularly since m a n y of these problems would cease to exist if some of the present a ims were abandoned) .
It m a y be naive of us to believe that w e can achieve w h at w e want, or can achieve it easily; but what w e w a n t to achieve is not naive and has been clearly expressed time and aga in. W e w a n t an education that is relevant to our needs, not specialized training that is not. W e w a n t to set our o w n criteria for w h a t constitutes education. These are not administrat ive problems; these are issues the administrat ion has not even considered. A n y meaningfu l criticism of the student m o v ement must m ake this distinction between the problems that administrators face, and the fact that they refuse to face certain problems.

Ye ol’ rag
E ditor; the georgian,
As a facu lty m em ber w ho has had his share o f clashes w ith the adm inistration over the years, I should like to express m y utter con tem pt for the m anner in w hich so m any of your correspondents and contributors write about the university's problem s and the unfortunate individuals w ho are trying to cope with them . W hy these underpaid and overworked adm inistra tors continue to give their best in spite o f the barrage o f insults and m isin form ation is beyond me. After one has m ade every allow ance for the fact that so m any of the letters are w ritten by boys trying to prove they are m en, there rem ains the very real qu estion o f whether students w ith such severe psychologica l problem s are in a condition to profit from a university education .
There are m any things wrong w ith this university. Som e are the fault o f society, som e of the Provincia l G overnm ent, som e o f the A d m inistration, som e o f the Facu lty, and som e (dare I say it !) o f the students. H ow ever, the first step tow ards correcting any abuse m ust be an accurate diagnosis o f w hat is wrong and why. The georgian doesn ’ t exactly overwhelm us w ith that sort o f help. W hat is even m ore a p palling than the tone o f so m any o f your contributors is their elem entary ignorance a- bout w hat universities have been, are now and m ay som e day be. Such w idespread in tellectual laziness and lack o f im agination threatens to d iscredit the whole m ovem ent toward student power.
C an’ t you use your influence to raise, instead o f lower, the level o f dialogue at Sir George W illiam s?

The muzak man ?E ditor; the georgian,
I am sitting in the cafeteria sm oking a cigarette after a m eal. There is a fa in t noise com ing from the ceiling.
It is M U Z A K .The cafeteria could be a
good p lace to eat and relax quietly. One could get into the m usic, bu t there is n othing to get into. A lso som e of it is singing, w hich is utterly rid icu lous and u n thinking in a place where there are m any conversations.

It w ould not be d ifficu lt to transcend the conversation noise if there was som e decent m usic. It need not be loud. W hy the hell d on ’ t we get som e decen t m usic into the cafeteria?
L et’ s do it N O W .Taking all conditions into
consideration I w ould suggest light classica l-C hop in w altzes, M ozart. There is a wealth.
How can we do it?

Our society is “ designed for aggressive acqu isition .” Those w ho work, under the term s o f the Puritan Ethic w hich has m ade the North A m erican nations great, prosper. T hose w ho are lazy, don't. It’ s really very sim ple. And M r. G adban can go on ad nauseam abou t the necessity for change, bu t he cannot debase m an to the level he w ould. He cannot rationally propose a society in which the loafer w ould make as m uch as the worker, and all would be su b ject to absolute governm ent control. He cannot deny m an the liberty o f making an honest profit, owning whatever he can afford, and standing up for individuality.
I agree M r. G adban, that our society is sick in many ways. I have am bitions, too, w hich I w ill outline if given space to d o sam e, but your solutions w ould be far more sick, far more dangerous than anything going on in our society now.John L. Aim ers Arts I

(C P S) - V ietnam ’s anti-war student activists have grown increasingly m ilitant this year despite the heavier price o f openly opposing the governm ent. If they wish to speak out strongly against the war, students face the choice of risking a long prison term or joining the N ational L iberation Front or its allies.
Som e o f the student leaders have already chosen the latter alternative. Several leaders of the Saigon Student Union in 1967 jo ined the N L F during Tet. Several of H ue's student activists, traditionally more m ilitant, jo ined the
~Ffont before the end o f last year.It is d ifficu lt to get accurate in
form ation on how m any students are actually working for the clandestine A lliance o f N ational, D em ocratic and Peace Forces or its student affiliate, the Saigon Students C om m ittee for Peace, both o f w hich have aligned them selves w ith the Front as an a lternative to the Thieu governm ent. One political figure w ell-know n for his anti-war stand believes that the figure is probably no more than 100. S tudent leaders them selves adm it that on ly about ten percent o f the approxim ately 25,000 qniversity students in Saigon even know or care about the A lliance and its purpose.
Advocate government overthrowAnti-war activists, however, have
clearly been driven to a position of advocating the overthrow o f the m ilitary governm ent by a C om m unist-led coa lition o f forces. One student leader interviewed at the Student U nion h ead quarters, still filled w ith refugees from the M ay offensive, said, “ The future role o f the generals who rule the country depends on how they respond to the peop le ’s wishes for peace. If they do not give the people peace, they w ill be lost".
M ilitance was also reflected in his position on the future reunification of North and South V ietnam . Far from speaking vaguely o f a ten -, fifteen-or tw enty-year period before reunification ,
the student said w ithout hesitation, “ R eun ification w ill take p lace w ithin five years, at the m ost. M ost people believe that all V ietnam ese are one, N orth and S ou th ".
T he activists are not typ ica l o f ‘Saigon students. It is usually estim ated that on ly about 10 percent o f the u n iversity students are politica lly active. M ost o f them have little respect for either the Saigon politicians or the generals, and they have been perfectly w illing to let som eone else die if they can avoid m ilitary service. B ut since nearly all o f them are from m iddle- class fam ilies, m ost students also find a victory b y the V iet C ong u nacceptable .
T h ey are also quite insensitive to the socia l cleavages and con flicts w hich underlie the present war. W hen beg in ning students at Saigon U niversity were asked by an A m erican teacher o f English to write a com position on the racial problem in the U .S ., com paring it with V ietnam ese socia l problem s, very few m entioned the gu lf betw een the urban m iddle class and the peasant, betw een V ietnam ese and C hinese, or betw een V ietnam ese and M ontagnard tribesm en.
Prospects dimProspects for the student anti-war
m ovem ent in V ietnam are worse than they have been since the fall o f D iem . Prevented from dem onstrating, severely lim ited in w hat they can publish , and continually harrassed by police , w ho frequently enter their offices to search for subversive m aterials, the activists still rem aining in Saigon are frustrated but determ ined. Asked w hat they could do to in fluence the governm ent's policy , one student leader replied firm ly, “ W e can only dem and peace, again and again” .
D. Gareth Porter, who teaches Political Science at M anchester, College in North M anchester, Indiana, has just returned from Vietnam , where he wrote for CPS this summer. This story is part of a series describing the war and the country as he saw them.
The Pole poll
The recent debacle at M cG ill U niversity re: the “ e lection ” o f the D aily ’ s new editor, should silence, once and for all, those w ho believe that a new spaper shou ld rep resen t the v iew s o f the students. For those w ho endorse this line m ust surely feel that the on ly m eans of ensuring a “ representative” new spaper, is to elect its staff. Y et the e lection at M cG ill degen era ted in to a fa rc ica l com edy w hich proved nothing. The cam pus refused to participate in this glorified popularity contest and those w ho did vote d id not com e from the m ainsteam o f students, but from the scattered actist groups w ho wished to see the paper adopt the particular ideology of their organization. B oth the “ right and the “ left” rejected the con cept o f an “ e lected ” editor and the only useful purpose the poll served was to disuade o th er ca m p u s c o u n c ils from ever allowing such a b lunder to take place.

No profit?Editor; the georgian,
I have a question that I would like to ask M r. M cP hie and his staff. R ecently I was a visitor to one o f the hospitals in the area and ate in their cafeteria. I would like to know why, if both are N O N PRO FIT organizations, they are able to produce the fo llowing:80C m eal: tea or coffeesoup (clear or cream ) or milk or ju icem ain plate (B .B .Q . C hicken, veg & potatoes) salad (your choice o f dressings)
one desert (6-10 choices)40C m eal:same as the 80c m eal except the m ain plate was veal.25C m eal:tea or coffee or m ilksandw ich (p la in -12 or morechoices)desert.(For 30(1 you cou ld get a toasted sand, or a hot dog or ham burger instead o f the sand.)
Has our cafeteria becom e so d iversified that a decent price cannot be offered? Possibly the Food A dm inistrators should go on a tour o f all the hospitals to gain som e ideas as to providing reasonable meals.
The second poin t that the Food Services C om m ittee should investigate is the price o f coffee and tea. T he lifeblood o f students everywhere m ust run java. The price here is slightly less then dow ntow n although it is self-service and supposedly non profit. The cost cannot even m atch the price, take this exam ple: tea b a g 1 1 ->clabour 1 cdishes 1 ccream , suger 1 1 •_>c
5cIt on ly seem s reasonable
that a student should be able to buy a cup o f col fee or tea for 5c especia lly w hen the profit m aking dispensors d o it for 10c.
Further, have you ever tried to read a paper in the students lounge on the 4th floor? If you aren ’ t right under a sp otlight you can hardly read the headings m uch less the sm all print! It’ s alm ost like studing under N ebula ’ s rosy glow ! There is one com pensation-- it 's an ideal p lace for listful slum ber.
It is unfortunate that the Student C ouncils have not seen the effect o f eye strain. P ossib ly then they w ill bring it to the staff’ s attention and a ttem pt to install individual lights that could be turned o ff if slum ber is N o .l on the list.

UCSL to hold open meetings
by Anne McLeanIn response to the need for
greater com m un ication between students, facu lty , and adm inistration , the m eetings o f the U niversity C ouncil on S tudent Life are now open to attendance b y all m em bers o f the student body.
T he decision follow s the p u b lica tion o f a report by the U niversity C om m u n ica tions C om m ittee, w hich was appoin ted by the P rincipal Rae Chaired by Professor Jim D ick , the C om m ittee recom m ended that m eetings o f all p o licy form ulating organizations be opened to the U niversity C om m unity.
Professor D ick M acd o nald, chairm an o f the C ouncil on Student L ife, stated that in accepting the recom m en dation that the C ouncil seeks prim arily to establish “ a c lim ate in w hich there can be no feeling on the part of the students that in form ation is being in tentionally w itheld from th em .”
He noted that the way in w hich in form ation is obtained often has a d irect influence on an in d iv idua l’ s perception o f a situation. He also m ain tained that students w ould be better able to arrive at a realistic understanding o f any issue w hich is discussed by the C ouncil, w hen business is con ducted openly.
Professor M acdon a ld p o in ted out, however, that the handling o f certain questions m ay require the C ouncil to m eet in camera. T his m ight be necessary, for instance, when “ the future o f some person at the U niversity is in vo lved .” In such circum stances, the C om m unications C om m ittee recom m ends that “ the ju stifiab le reasons as stated ought to be included on the agen da .”
T he U niversity C ouncil on Student Life was created by the P rincipal to d iscuss m atters o f concern to the aca d em ic com m un ity . T op ics for d iscussion can be raised by the respective A dm in istrative, S tudent or fa cu lty bodies.
T he C ou n cil’ s constitution defines its purpose as follow s:
“ T he (U niversity) C ouncil on S tudent L ife shall constitute a forum where social and edu cation a l issues a ffecting student life can be heard and acted upon through recom m endation s to the appropriate bodies.
C oun cil m em bership com prises representatives o f both D ay and E vening S tudents ’ As sociations, facu lty , the Office o f G uidance Services, the D ean o f S tudents ’ O ffice, and the B oard o f Governors.
T he next m eeting o f the C ouncil on S tudent Life - the first to w hich all students w ill be adm itted , w ill take place on M on day , O ctober 7, in room H-762.

National boycott growsD E L A N O , Calif. (C P S - C U P) - “ In the souls o f the
people, the grapes o f wrath are filling and grow ing heavy, growing heavy for the v in tage .”
So runs the final sentence in a chapter o f John S tein beck ’ s “ The Grapes o f W rath” . W hat was true a lm ost 40 years ago is still true this m on th as a strike by C alifornia farm workers spreads into a nationw ide grape boycott.
POVERTY ENGULFS WORKERSFarm workers in the U .S. are still forced to lead lives
geared not to advan cem en t bu t to bare survival. A California grape worker does not have to face the d ilem na o f whether to buy loafers or h ush-puppies for his ch ildren -- he m ust worry abou t having enough m oney to get shoes o f any kind for the m em bers o f his fam ily .
A t present, m any grape workers earn less than $1,800 a year. E ven if a worker were able to work 40 hours a week every week o f the year, he could on ly earn $2,386 annually -- approx im ately on e-h a lf o f the average wage for all Californians.
In the 1930’s, A m erica ’ s workers w on the right to organize and bargain co llective ly through the N ational Labor R elations Act. In 1968, farm workers rem ain exclu ded from this act. T o overcom e this handicap and win the benefits en joyed by other workers -- m inim um w age, collective bargaining, fringe benefits -- the farm workers o f D elano, C alifornia voted to go on strike for union recogn ition three years ago this m onth.
CHAVEZ ORGANIZES UNIONSince the turn o f the century, attem pts had been m ade
to unionize the farm workers in C alifornia, bu t all o f them had failed. T h is tim e, how ever, under the leadership o f Cesar Chavez, d irector o f the U nited Farm W orkers, farm workers have succeeded in w inning collective bargaining agreements for the first tim e in history. Several m ajor wine com panies in C alifornia have signed agreem ents with their workers.
B ut the strike is now in its 43rd m on th , and the workers are still out. Som e victories have been w on, bu t the goal o f total union recognition is still far in the future.
In an effort to put add ition al pressure on growers during Septem ber — the peak o f the grape harvest -- and to win nationw ide support for the strike, the U F W is devoting m ost o f its- energy this fall to enlarging and pu bliciz ing a nationw ide b oycott o f table grapes b y superm arkets, in dividuals and com panies.
WORKERS APPEAL TO STUDENTSCollege cam puses, w hich in the W est were the earliest
areas o f support for the D elano strike, are a m ajor target for the workers, w ho are being helped b y loca l branches o f the United M exican -A m erican Students (U M A S ) organization, a new one on m any cam puses this fall.
U M A S groups are spending their tim e rallying cam pus support for the D elano strikers and p icketing superm arkets that carry C alifornia grapes (w ith som e results, apparently : one Denver superm arket chain now has signs telling shoppers the grapes “ were p icked by non-un ion w orkers” ).
POLITICAL SUPPORT RECEIVEDChavez and the strike have received support from R obert
K ennedy before his death, Eugene M cC arth y and H ubert H um phrey. R ichard N ixon has not endorsed the strike. One o f the workers’ avow ed enem ies is C alifornia G overnor R onald Reagan, w ho last fa ll reported ly allow ed growers to keep the children o f workers out o f school for tw o weeks in order to finish the p ick ing, while other ch ildren were sent back.
A successful strike cou ld change the status o f farm labor well beyond the California valleys. O nce the pickers are organized, the w ay w ill be open to union izing all o f C aliforn ia ’ s 300,000 harvest hands. A nd once C alifornia, the “ General M otors o f agricu lture” has been organized, the task o f farm labor organizers across the country w ill be w ell under way.
The workers say they are seeking four +hings w ith the strike: a m inim um hourly wage at all tim es o f the year, sanitary working cond itions in w orking areas, a seniority system to p rotect workers o f long standing, and an end to harrassm ent through the appoin tm en t o f stew ards w ho w ould represent any worker w ho felt he had been treated unfairly.

It’s a drastic solution Martians turn to when they can’t find what they’re looking for. Fortunately, the Yellow Pages can help you avoid this traumatic experience. It’s the one sure place to find everything you’re looking for — quickly and easily. Don’t go to pieces. Go to the Yellow Pages. Wear out your fingers instead of yourself.
