This proposal is a direct reaction to the April 7 report of the Standing Committee on Afro-American Studies it is a reaction to its contents and to the present mechanism by which such decisions ore made. By so blatantly violating the spirit of the Rosovsky Report, the Standing Committee has forced us to re-evaluate, to seek not only to correct the mistake that has been made, but to try to insure that such mistakes are not made in the future...
...optimistically-on Hanoi's having a growing desire for peace. As the Air Force had it, the massive U.S. bombardment of North Viet Nam would crack that nation's morale. It achieved the opposite result: by putting everyone in the front lines, the bombing created a spirit of defiance. But, as the theory goes, without the unifying goad of bombs, the hard-pressed peasants now have the leisure to reflect on their privations. As evidence, the monitors of Hanoi's newspapers and broadcasts report frequent condemnation of apathy and general slackness. There is also the tremendous death...
...takes a cool head to distinguish between campus reformers, who hope to salvage the university, and campus revolutionaries, who hope to savage it. When extremists halt classes, they kill the spirit of a university in somewhat the same way that the Nazis did in the 1930s. Seizing buildings is only slightly less dangerous.

Voters are pushing state legislators for repressive laws. California has more than 100 such bills before its senate and assembly: One provides five-year sentences...
...abolish ROTC, and in so doing has properly transferred responsibility for this matter back to the Corporation. On the question of a black studies program, the astounding tactless decision to defer a vote on Afro's demands until next week should not obscure the Faculty's approval of the spirit of those demands. Tuesday's meeting is likely to approve the Afro position--unless classroom fracases have by then rendered the Faculty unwilling to consider anything but law and order. Faculty members are already extremely concerned about the prospect of extensive disruptions of classes, and there is little question that...
Black students have no desire to attack or usurp the authority of the Faculty--the Afro proposal in no way contravenes the spirit or substance of the Rosovsky report. We wish simply to have a say in this most vital matter. I for am tired of standing aside while the fate of black studies is decided, and I would urge the Faculty to accept the Afro proposal immediately and put an end to this lack of communication.
