Editor:
A front-page article to the
Wednesday, Jan. 5, 1966, edition
of "The Dally Collegian* quoted
a couple of statements by Rever¬
end David Havens that bearcom-
Revereftd Havens was quoted
as saying that the Delano workers
were striking for higher wages.
The demand for higher wages
began to August of 1965. At that
time, most of the ranches InJJie
Delano area paid $1.25 per hour,
plus 10 cents per box for field
packed grapes. The original de¬
mand was for $1.40 per hour
plus 25 cents per box. Since that
time, Sierra Vista Ranch, one
of the largest in the area, has
raised wages to $1.40 per hour
minimum for unskilled field la-

pickers work to the vineyards
on a year-round basis, during
which they are provided with
room and board, If desired, at a
nominal cost. Some of the grow¬
ers have even been known to
board laborers free of charge
during periods of Inclement
weather. Should a field worker
wish to quit, payment for the
time worked since the last pay¬
check is almost always prompt.
Reverend Havens failed to
mention that the current Issue Is
not a wage Increase, but an at¬
tempt to unionize farm labor.
During the Christmas break, I
worked for the Sierra Vista Ranch
as an agricultural laborer. When¬
ever wo were visited by shouting
•Huelglstos,' the issue of higher
wages was seldom mentioned. We
were, however, exhorted to leave
the vineyards to Join them to
forming  a union. It seems that

the whole story.
If, as Reverend Havens stated,
the strike lasts for three years,
lt will be because the minority
carrying on the strike prolongs
lt for that length of time.
A College "Scab*,
The Rev, George Turney, of
St. Columbia's Episcopal Church,
does not believe the apocalyptical
writings of the Bible make spe¬
cific predictions for today.
The Rev. Turney said this dur¬���ing his speech "Does The Bible
Make Predictions?* at Thurs¬
day's Encounter to the CoUege
Religious Center.
Apocalyptical, according to
Webster's Third New Interna¬
tional Dictionary, U that writing
"In Jewish or early Christian
circles between about 200 B.C.
and A.D. ISO predicting of the
future shape of events by means
of symbolism understandable to
the   faithful   but   bidden  from
•We get into trouble when we
take these signs and symbols
and try to apply lt to something
which actually happens today,'
said the speaker.
These writings, says the Rev.
Turney, are an attempt to get
the people back to God. In them
Is contained what Is happening at
the Ume and what wlU continue
to happen untU there Is a return
to God.
An example which the Rev.
Turney gave to Ulustrate the
mistake of this type of interpre¬
tation dealt with a story to the
Old Testament Book of Daniel.
In this story four beasts rose
from the water and were suppos¬
ed to mean to the Jewish people
that God was stUl watching over
The symbolism used was that
three of the beasts were destroy¬
ed, but one lived to rule—thelast
one being the Kingdom of God.
From this story, the Rev.
Turney said, people try to give
specific names such as HlUer or
Stalin or Ho Chi Mlnh to the
three fallen beasts.
This, he contends, is not the
reason tor which lt was written.
It was written to show the Jewish
people that God was stUl
their  God,  and  they were still

of the Bible was a result of an
increasing knowledge of God by
the various authors. When the Bi¬
ble was first begun there was lit¬
tle knowledge of God, but as Ume
passed toe authors became clear¬
er as to God's purposes, he add¬
ed.
The Rev. Turney said their
writing was not done so much to
taU what was going to happen to
1986, for Instance, as lt was done
to say what they felt In their
hearts to be the meaning of the
penetration of God to man.
'We ought not to be afraid of
apocalyptic literature. We ought
to read It to get the feel of It
Instead of trying to figure out
all the symbols. In this day and
age I cannot think of any two
books which we should read more
than the Book of Daniel and the
Book of John," M said.

ROMAN IN THE GLOAMIN'
Now as the end of the first semester draws near, one fact
emerges clearly: you are all going to flunk out of school.
There are two things you can do about it. First, you can
marry money. (I don't mean you marry the money itself; I
mean you marry a person who has money. Weddings be¬
tween people and currency have not been legal anywhere in
the United States since the Smoot-Hawley Act. Personna*
Stainless Steel Blades, on the other hand, are legal every¬
where and are, indeed, used with great pleasure and satis¬
faction in all fifty states of the Union and Duluth. I bring
up Personna Stainless Steel Blades because this column is
sponsored by the makers of Personna Stainless Steel Blades,
and they are inclined to get edgy if I omit to mention their
product. Some of them get edgy and some get double-edgy
because Personna Blades come both in Injector style and
Double Edge style.)
But I digress. I was saying you can marry money but, of
course, you will not because you are a high-minded, clean-
living, pure-hearted, freckle-faced American kid. Therefore,
to keep from flunking, you must try the second method:
you must learn how to take lecture notes.
According to a recent survey, eleven out of ten American
undergraduates do not know the proper way to take lecture
notes. To illustrate this appalling statistic, let us suppose
you are taking n course in history. Let us further suppose
the lecturer is lecturing on the ruling houses of England.
You listen intently. You write diligently in your notebook,
making a topic outline ns you hnve been taught. Like this:
I. House of Plantagonet.
II. House of Lancaster. / T~N
III. House of York.        <£ \'(   |_X |V  *    L^
Then you stop. You put aside your pen. You blink back
a tear, for you cannot go on. Oh, yes, you know very well
that the next ruling house is the House of Tudor. The trou-
is you dnn'l know the Roman numeral that comes after
n that
III.
It may, incidentally, be of some comfort b
you are not the only people who don't know Roman numer¬
als. The fact is, the Romans never knew them either. Oh, I
suppose they could tell you how much V or X were or like
that, but when it came to real zingers like LXI or MMC.
they just flang away their styluses and went downtown to
have a bath or take in a circus or maybe stab Caesar a few
You may wonder why Rome stuck with these ridiculous
numerals when the Arabs had such a nice, simple system.
Well, sir, the fact is that Emperor Vespasian tried like crazy
to buy the Arabic numerals from Suleiman The Magnificent,
but Suleiman wouldn't do business—not even when Vespa¬
sian raised his bid to 100,000 gold piastres, plus he offered
to throw in the Colosseum, the Appian Way, and Techni-
So Rome stuck with Roman numerals—to its sorrow, as
it turned out. One day in the Forum, Cicero and Pliny got
to arguing about how much is CDL times MVIX. Well, sir,
pretty soon everyone in town came around to join the has¬
sle. In all the excitement, nobody remembered to lock the
north gate and—wham! before you could say ars tonga—in
rushed the Goths, the Visigoths, and the Green Bay Packers!
Well, sir, that's the way the empire crumbles, and I di¬
gress. Let's get back to lecture notes. Let's also say a word
about Burma Shave'. Why? Because Burma Shave is made
by the makers of Personna Blades who, it will be recalled,
arc the sponsors of this column. They are also the sponsors
of the ultimate in shaving luxury. First coat your kisser
with Burma Shave, regular or menthol—or, if you are the
devil-may-care sort, some of each. Then whisk off your stub¬
ble with an incredibly sharp, unbelievably durable Personna
Blade, Injector or Double Edge—remembering first to put
the blade in a razor. The result: facial felicity, cutaneous
cheer, epidermal elysium. Whether you shave every day,
every. HI days, or every VII, you'll always find Pefsonna
and Burma Shave a winning combination.
