Edward P., Dutton, associate professor of social welfare, and David Hardcastle, assistant professor of social welfare, organized the trip and actually fields along with the students.
"We were concerned with the students getting knowledge, but it also provides the knowledge and field experience," said Durkson. "I think an idea of the program was to develop an innovative approach to teaching."

The two professors and 12 students lived, cooked and learned together in a farm labor camp at Delphi. The teacher was not granted any special privileges but was treated like any migrant laborer. Several of the students fainted from the intense heat, some of them died. One had to go to the Division of Fair Employment Practices in

California to receive wages that his contractor would not pay.
They lived in an abandoned Rey and they each paid $20 a month for women slept in what had been the sanctuary and the men slept in the open.
"The facilities were adequate but not luxurious by any means," said Dutton.
THE STUDENTS received $2 an hour which, for the regular student, was a bit more expensive. Dutton said. Most worked for the United Farm Workers union, which provides cold water. The farm breaks for workers in the fields. Those who worked for nonunions did not receive these benefits.
Hardeleigh said that the efforts of Cesar Chavez and his United Farm Workers union have helped increase the number of workers 80 per cent in the last six years. The present standard wage is an hour, where before it was $1.25.
In California, a growing interest in agribusiness farming has resulted in an increase in corporation-owned farms, farm-district farms and small family-owned farms. The labor demand is seasonal and the average number of working days varies from 150 to 200 days a year for the migrant farm worker. The number of farm owners are summer and early fall.
DUTTON COMPARED the life expectancy of 45 years of a female from the average American, which is 75 years old. The difference in poverty and struggle. The
farm accident rate is 300 times greater than the American accident rate. he said. Infant death is higher than the national rate.
Eline Damato, Springfield Mass., graduate student, said this summer was in a "different way" than before working in the field, Damato helped in the United Farm Workers office. She is one of people whose purpose was to help the farm worker's condition.

Damato plans to go back to California to help with the union. He will teach it, and described him as one who lives simply. Anyone who works for the union receives $5 a week for lunch.
"CHAIVE HAS given dignity and respect to the farm workers who were so depressed four or five years ago," said Damato.
Jo Durant, Lawrence graduate student, said he believed the migrant stream is less migratory than in the past. Of Chavez, she
said, "most of the population of Del Rey are not union members, but all are benefiting from his efforts."
BOTH DUTTON AND HARD-CASTLE were given research grants to study three objectives: observe the way social service agencies move, to gain a consumer's perception of the regulatory impact of the social service agency, and to discover the logistics concerning the laborers, their problems and life style.

WANTED ATHLETES FOOT
Dr. Schwegler, director of the Student Health Service, has initiated a study to determine the effectiveness of differing treatments on athletes foot. He is studying three different treatments, medicated cream, base cream, soap and water. The study will last for six weeks, with each patient visiting a physician at the end of 2 weeks and 6 weeks. Dr. Schwegler feels that sixty persons with active cases of athletes foot are needed in order to validate any of the procedures. Any person with athletes foot who would like to participate in the study is encouraged to contact the Student Health Service at Watkins Hospital. All thirteen doctors at Watkins Hospital are participating in the study. ALL MEDICATION WILL BE PAID FOR, AND ALL SUBJECTS WHO COMPLETE THE STUDY WILL BE PAID FOR THEIR COOPERATION. If further information is desired, contact any physician at Watkins Hospital or Bruce Bove 542-3384.
