00:00:03.540 - 00:00:55.850

Yeah. Picture. Yeah, yeah. No. What started? Mhm. A strike is a means of expression. Sometimes it's necessary, the necessary means of expression. It's just the tactics that we have opposed. The committee is in favour of the strike, but not

00:00:55.850 - 00:01:13.760

in favor of the tax. No, we did not take a stand on on whether the strike should continue or not. But we just want the violence stop. And we want the classroom disruption. Stop. This program would not be possible. This program would not be possible if

00:01:13.760 - 00:01:29.650

the black students who do not cooperate in it. We are not going to go much further with our basic proposal until we have a chance to talk to for black students. Hopefully the leadership of the S u This in order to being the fact that it

00:01:29.650 - 00:01:43.530

is going to be Third World students go into this naturally, they're going to have to their leadership from those their needs are going to have to be consulted and asked to implement what parts of the program there needed to have they shown the willingness to sit

00:01:43.530 - 00:03:16.280

down with you. Yes, we in fact, we have a a tentative appointment to meet with members of the Central Committee of the issue this Thursday. What could take place now in the event that these six demands were

00:03:16.280 - 00:03:34.860

agreed to? If these six demands or preconditions for mediation were met, we could sit down in the Third World Liberation Front, would sit down with the trustees of the 19 state colleges, and we could assist them in the implementation of the 15 demands. Those 15 demands

00:03:35.040 - 00:03:50.150

are un negotiable for the precise fact that they are just and moral, and because we put a great deal of thought and time into them. It took years to come round to recognizing and defining the wants and needs of the minority poor of the Third World

00:03:50.160 - 00:04:07.380

peoples in this, uh, in this state and country and they are un negotiable because they must be met in that way. Otherwise the the higher educational needs of these people will be compromised and that that doesn't make any sense to us. Assuming your demands will not

00:04:07.390 - 00:04:28.620

be met, how we escalate your we're not assuming that our demands will not be met. We already have a number of indications that they want to. Well, I think that the conspiracy claim is simply a way of violating the ordinary safeguards that have been established around

00:04:28.620 - 00:04:45.500

the First Amendment. And for one like myself, who's given to speak on various occasions, it makes your activity absolutely hazardous. Is as uh, pointed out in the courtroom, it's absolutely impossible to tell when or when not. You may be involved in a conspiracy because the statute

00:04:45.500 - 00:08:10.100

is so thoroughly vague that advocating anything which could conceivably lead anybody to doing anything which is a misdemeanor, is very likely to get you indicted on the charge of conspiracy. The reaction to this The strike sanctions has not yet been issued, so

00:08:10.110 - 00:08:25.490

I have nothing to worry about. Executive Committee has the power to just go any time they feel they want to. Well, that's all right. We are. We're having hearings tomorrow with a mediator to be flown in. Who's flying in from Wayne State University. Will you be

00:08:25.490 - 00:09:10.890

there For what? From Wayne State University. Will you be there? His name? His name is Hoffman. I cannot tell as of now, okay? It is causing some pressure on me and about this subject of only three weeks left of instruction. I may have an announcement to

00:09:10.890 - 00:09:24.460

make tomorrow when I've got some solutions worked out. You mean the semester might be extended? It could be. Yes. I'm thinking of that. I haven't got this worked out yet. Please don't ask. Push me any further on that. I'm working very hard on trying to solve

00:09:24.460 - 00:10:12.590

some something here so that people who have missed any instruction will have a chance to catch up. Mhm. Oh, get out of the way. Based off. Yeah. Hands off! Campus days off campus. Are you rolling? Why are you

00:10:16.090 - 00:10:28.290

to me? A blank gun and I've been involved with firearms. Started it on the officer in Link. Or I do have a little bit of an expert on weapons And what he fired. He fired two or three shots into the air, and it was what I

00:10:28.290 - 00:10:41.120

could appear. A blank gun at the end of the muzzle did look clogged, but still, he fired into the air. And at that time, the students who were around the one officer who was on the ground who try to take the handcuffs away was to have

00:10:41.120 - 00:11:19.430

pursued the person who I guess did take the handcuffs away from him and get him down here. And then both man, man on the ground got away. Man on the ground got away at the time of the shots were fired in the air. Where's

00:11:19.430 - 00:11:37.270

the officer? Let's see if we can't get him to move off for a while. Join, That's why. Excuse me. Excuse me. Isn't it possible we're doing our best to sort of break gets off? Isn't it possible when you fellas could could move into a less exposed

00:11:37.280 - 00:12:28.760

area? I'm not. It isn't. I'm not trying to bug you. I just think, you know, this is a confrontation situation, and it always is bad if we don't have to do it. Hello? What about expecting sauce? Campus hangs Mark. Sure.

00:12:31.840 - 00:14:16.690

This building, You walk right out the door and there's another one. Yeah. Yeah, I thought I seriously doubt it. I think the message that people should understand is that we should close this classroom situation and continue with

00:14:16.690 - 00:14:32.990

the convocation. It's been productive, and hopefully it will bring to understanding both here and off the campus. And maybe we can stabilize the situation. I'm trying to stabilize that. All the responsible faculty members are stabilizing it. But unless we close classes, unless we allow these people

00:14:32.990 - 00:14:44.860

to talk about the problems that concern them, there's absolutely no hope here. It's going to be a riot and it's going to be a killing. We're missing them as you newsman. No, just by inches every day. Now, longer we talk, the longer we avoid them.
