Students Plan to Picket At Faculty Club Today

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Following three successful boycotts of House dining halls over the issue of non-union lettuce at Harvard, students supporting the United Farm Workers will picket the Faculty Club at lunch today.

The picketers shut down Dunster House dining room to 20 per cent capacity on Monday night, and drew the support of 90 per cent of Lowell House Tuesday and 75 per cent of Adams House in a similar boycott last night.

Students who did not cross the picket lines-which were non-obstructive could still eat in any of the other House dining halls on interhouse.

The effect of the boycotts upon Harvard's purchasing policy is not clear at the present Harvard purchasers will meet with the organizers of the boycott tomorrow afternoon.

Robert T. Martin, manager of Adams House dining hall, said last night, "They were very quiet and they accomplished their mission."

William Liller '48, Master of Adams House, said last night that both the farm workers and the boycotters had his support, but that he hoped he wouldn't have "to be around the Adams House dining room when they serve all the leftover food."

Members of the Adams House Committee were disappointed that Adams House had the lowest degree of participation in the boycott of the three Houses involved. "Adams used to be a radical House-nobody should have eaten," said Charles K. Bernstein '72, "The House Committee supported the boycott," he added.
