They would lineup at the property’s edge and shout through megaphones, ‘come out of there. Join us. Be men. We’ll take care of you . . The pickets have been active since September, 1965, when the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee of the AFL-CIO and the National Farm Workers As sociation called the strike. The strike was centered around wages and working conditions. The AWOC and the NFWA are encouraging a nationwide strike of all the products of Schenley wines and liquors. Schenley is one of the largest grape growers in the area (35,000 acres). Greg Johnson, another panel member, marched with strikers on a San Francisco dock. John son is a junior in sociology at the University and a member of the SDS. He said that the longshore man’s union cooperated and “in this aspect the strike was very successful.” But he added that it was more than a strike. “It’s a social move ment. Psychologically there’s a stimulation for the farm workers to better themselves. They have j become a highly solidified com-' munity.” Although the higher wage de-1 mand will increase the likelihood of automation of the grape in-1 dustry in the near future, John son feels that "the new spirit will be necessary when the work-1 ers will have to be retrained for other jobs.” Mrs. Knapp said that besides the SDS, CORE, SNCC, “and most liberal organizations” en courage drives for food and cloth ing for the strikers. Ken Kastner, a member of the SDS said that in sympathy for the march from Delano to Sacra mento, which will culminate on Easter Sunday, there will be a pilgrimmage to the Eugene Uni-! tarian Church, 447 40th Ave., East, starting at 8:30 p.m. The Rev. Carl Nelson will discuss the problems in Delano. Job Opportunities Students may contact the Placement Of fice in Susan Campbell Hall for further in formation about the following job opportu nities.
