Such speech is as much for the future as for its possible influence on .current events. It is the seed of our honor. One among us has reminded us that the Institute enjoys the state-granted privilege of tax ex- emption. He warns us that the privilege may be withdrawn if political statements were to be pronounced by the Institute. To those among us who would infer an invitation to silence from that, I commend a reading of the words of Pastor Dietrich Bon- hoeffer: "Who would deny that the German, again and again has done his utmost in bravery, and has risked his life while obeying orders, following his callin or doing his work. . . But in so doing, he has not understood the world; he has not anticipated that his willingness to subordi- nate his ego and to fisk his life for his calling can be abused for evil. .. Thus, the German never r grasped a decisive and funda- mental idea: the necessity to act freely and responsibly even if it rE impaired his work and his calling." r m Pastor Bonhoeffer was a mem- ber of the German Resistance. He was executed on the 5th of April, 1945 in the German con- I· --~I- -'.., centration camp at Flossen- O.-· buerg. The shame of the German universities may 'fade.

The general atmosphere of the meeting was reminiscent of the early civil rights work in the South, with repeated calls by all speakers for unity among people of all races, colors, and creeds. Emphasis was on brotherhood, love, and non-violence. Said Chavez, "Non-violent will-power is necessary to endure the long weeks, months, and years ahead until we can see our struggle through to its victorious con- clusion. I have faith that the people are on our side." Boycott Terming the boycott "an- al- most perfect means of non- violent struggle," Chavez com- mented that by obtaining court 6rders prohibiting picketing, demonstrations, etc., the grow- ers had practically forced the migrant laborers to adopt the boycott as their means with which to fight back. Convinced that all the major interests in this country are opposing them, the workers decided four years ago to "take their case to the I people." This has been their strategy ever since then, and will continue until a fair and equi- table agreement is reached. Employers contacted the grape pickers union last June, and entered into negotiations which lasted for three weeks; however, at the end of this time no progress had been made, so they were discontinued. The two issues at these discussions were wages and health and safety con- ditions. In addition to asking for a,minimum wage, the workers pointed to a survey taken by the State of California which showed that 630 of 750 workers questioned suffered from symptoms of pesticide pois- The college you cant get into without ajob. oning.
