The plight of the lettuce
workers was emphasized by
Richard Dreco who presented the
film "Viva La Causa " and talked
about this on Tuesday , October 10
in Carver Hall. Because these
workers do not belong to a union ,
there are many harsh conditions
they must face. For example , the
accident rate of these farm
workers is 300 per cent higher
than that of factory workers and
yet their yearly income is about
$2400. There is no federal
minimum wage and only some
states set certain rates ( such as
Penna . pays $1.35 an hour ).
Because workers are constantly leaning over to pick
lettuce they suffer from "stoop
labor " and can only work at this
job from 7 to 10 years. Yet when
workers are unable to continue at
their work , they receive no

compensation. Is this fair in our
"democratic " society ? Many
children under 16 years of age are
found in the fields. Because of
continuous hard work in the hot
fields, pesticide poisoning and
unbalanced nutrition as a result
of being poor , these children can
expect to live about 49 years. And
if their parents become sick and
can not work they are thrown off
the farm penniless because of the
lack of concern of the government to provide compensation.
The only way out is for the
consumers to boycott the buying
of lettuce . After all, isn't it the
duty of all of us to protest when
fe llow Amer icans are be in g
treated cruelly for their labors?
Caesar Chavez , one of the
Mexican activists , has been: involved in the movement to help
the farm workers by unitin gthem
a
and tr ying to make

breakthrou gn with the government t o set human standards on
the fields . All he wants is conditions for these laborers to equal
those of other American workers ,
nothing more . And yet he and
others in this movement are
called "commun ists" and the
workers are harrassed for asking
for better condtiion s. People can
only be pushed to a certain limit
and it is not hard to see why they .
react physically at times. But
their reactions are distorted for
the general public and the consumers do not rea lize the ti me
picture of what is happening.

Concer t Hassles
by Joe Miklos
Overhea rd in the Union , October 4, 1972: "I don 't know about

and I don 't care what they say
about BNE . I' m going to do it. "
So, in a maze of hassles,
misunderst andings , and gener al

The use of the new gym for

That a group of the stat ure of the

Unfortunately , the problems
involved in using the new gym

fourfold : smoking, parking
space , acoustics and mass

The smoking problem is a
major concern because of the

hard criticism to answer , but
consider , it seems tha t when the
idea of a co-ed dorm was born , it
was a tacit acknowledgement
that the students had not been
prepared by their past social
education
to crea te such
relationships on their own. When
that speaker made his remark
about creating an environment in
which "boys will have more girl
friends and girls will have more
boy friends ," he seemed to admit
that , given the typical BSC

almost never develop without
drastically altering the dormitory environment on campus.

Poetr y Readin g Success
A sensitive, honest view of the
human condition was provided
Tuesday evening by Mr. and Mrs.
Eugene Rober t Platt at an informal poetry readi ng session in
Waller Loun ge, sponsored by
S.U.B. Those who turned out will
testify tha t the Platts , both
talented poets , produced an
amazingly tru thful web of insight; .a self understanding that
may have given the listener insight into his own condition.
Eugene , son of a South
Carolinian funda mentalist father
drew upon his life's changes and
ex penses for what proved to be
his best , most moving material ,
dealing with his father 's untimely

death from emphysema , and the
heritage of ideas that this now
left his son. Eucene Platt' s
readings dealt with the world he
knows best.
Mrs . Platt , also a ver y talented
poetess, was also able to communicate well with the listeners
present. Her poetry, different
from tha t of her husband as day
from night , dealt aesthetically
with her life, as wife of Eugene
and their relationship .
Both poets complimented each
other 's work nicely . The reading
was a pleasant interlude in the
day , amply worth the time that it
took up.

triang ular groupings with Ben in
the middle . In contrast to these ,
Ben and Elaine are often shown
together , side by side. The term
"generation gap " is never used,
but its essence is communicated
brilliantly.
Other devices used are color,
which lends an appropriately
glossy look to Ben's "Plastic "
surroundings; overlapping sound
(starting the soundtrack of the
next scene before the present one
is over) ; and subjective
photograp hy (viewing the scene
through Ben's eyes) to emphasize
isolation.
to aate , wicnois nas made tour
films. I have only seen one other ,
CARNAL KNOWLEDGE , but
reportedly the "Nichols touch " is
present in all of them with
varying degrees of success .
Relatively few directors in the
American cinema have beenable
to transcend the technical and
financial difficulties of film
making in order to make truly
unique and personal films. Such
films remain , by virtue of this
personal quality , fresh and
original even after multiple
viewings. It is to Nichols' credit
that in a time when a film's
success is measured in terms of
box-office take , th at he has made
a film that is both a huge commercial success and a superior
piece of film craftmanship.

That' s a pretty big IF.

Of course this would have
entailed a much more thorough
screening process of the applicants , and there was enough
trouble filling the dorm up as
things were. To remedy that ,
screened students should have
been ASSIGNED to the dorm.

we asked to approve the text

Why then , the hesitation to tell a
select minority, that for the good
of their overall education and
future lives, they were being
assigned to a REAL co-ed dormitory? The best answer I can
suppl y is that the purpose of
Luzerne going co-ed was not
social experimentation , rat her
somebody realized that by giving
North Hall ^ to the women and
splitting Luzern e, that the
tripling in women's dorms would
be somewhat relieved. I am not
bitter at this revelation , only sad
that this community has let such
opportunity for meaningful social
change go by.
