them. (Perhaps he had too many "quotations" to fit in?)
One last item: The UDK quoted Dinh as saying that a United Nations peace force should be in Vietnam "to unify the country under a socialist leftist society." The ambassador said no such thing. When questioned about the political make-up of the Vietnamese government after the war, he did say that existing sentiments would necessitate a leftist government. He did not say, however, that the UN force should be charged with installing the government; furthermore, he never said that the government would be socialist.

To the Editor:
The article by Fred Parris "Grapes draw wrath" in the Oct. 2 edition of the UDK is based on misinformation. It is time to set the record straight. "Bustos . . . says that a union will help bring workers a decent standard of living," quotes the UDK. This is really the heart of the matter. The United Farm Workers has tried to organize the workers into their union and to call repeated strikes. The American Farm Bureau reports that only $2\%$ of the workers have joined the union and none of the strikes have had any effect upon the workers. The National Labor Relations Board has listed the boycott as illegal and has prohibited four unions in New York from taking part in boycott activities.
The Grape Pickers are reported in the UDK to have low incomes. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, in the Farm Wage Reports of the Statistical Reporting Service, workers are paid an average of $306 per month in addition to housing or $277 per month with free room and board. They are paid an hourly rate of $1.69 without room and board, which is better than almost any student job on campus.
The entire boycott is an attempt to force the growers to sign union agreements forcing their employees to join the union. This has long been recognized as illegal and detrimental to the best interest of the workers.
My information is not all that hard to come by; I got it from the Kansas City Times dated September 9th. It is an indication of a lack of Reporting Integrity that you could not manage to find the same figures, or a lack of Journalistic Integrity that you did not print them.
Sincerely,

To the Editor:
I would like to comment on several statements made by the president and vice-president of the student body on representation in the University Senate made in the UDK, Oct. 1,
Both seem to feel that we should not get hung up on the percentages of student representation, but should work toward setting up a community. They both fear setting up equal estates in the University Senate.

First I would agree about not fighting over small percentages. But the difference between the minority and majority reports is from 18% to 50%. No small matter. Of course it would be easy to set up a community of faculty, administration, and students when the students' representation is so small. As to whether estates would be set up, this is always a possibility when you try to set up a fair and justly representative community.

The fourth annual Museum of Art Benefit Ball will be Oct. 18 in the Kansas Union Ballroom. This year's event will be part of the museum's 40th anniversary celebration.
Benefit ball planned
Theme for the ball will be art of the 20th century. An exhibition of "Modern Art from Midwestern Collections" will be shown at a museum open house held in conjunction with the ball.
Mrs. W. Clarke Wescow, wife of the KU chancellor, initiated the first benefit ball in 1965.
"She's been stopping traffic for a long time here in beautiful downtown Burbank, so I see no reason why she shouldn't do it in New York, too."
