More than 2,500 students at City College here were expected to strike tomorrow in protest against two faculty members whom they charge with practicing discrimination. The decision to conduct a protest strike was taken at a week-end meeting. The two teachers are Prof. William Knickerbocker, chairman of the Romance Languages Department, and William Davis, an economics instructor. Leaders of the protest said they would throw a picket line around the college until action was taken on their demand that Knickerbocker and Davis be suspended.
