00:03:44.110 - 00:04:03.510

commission. Now if you also read our leaflet which came out yesterday or the day are entitled. Is this Mississippi, I think was the name of it. You clearly heard our statement. We decide. We gave this administration a deadline of yesterday. Noon Wednesday. All trades. He was

00:04:03.510 - 00:04:23.050

editor of Open process off campus student newspaper Previously funded with student funds. Yeah. Now, being sold for a dime. Could you tell me a little bit about what your paper stands for? Who do you feel could do the best job of running this campus? Uh, CSU,

00:04:23.060 - 00:04:42.750

Dr Summer school. Do the best job before running the campus. Well, I think in many ways Dr Summer School has done an admiral jobs running campus. Uh, just made some basic mistakes and decisions. He's gotten himself in a very bad position in some of the current

00:04:42.760 - 00:05:13.100

crises around the college. Okay, this is Bob Fenster, one of the original organizers and maps. Can you tell me what maps stood for when you organize it? Um, don't say. I organized that the foundation of maps was organized by a lot of other people.

00:05:13.100 - 00:05:28.830

I came in in the middle because I was involved in the issues. Um, having such a dynamic personality, I, um, move right to the forehead of this thing and thought I was possibly changing direction. It was taking. And because the best hope for the future on

00:05:28.830 - 00:05:48.910

this campus our girls are fine. What would you do it? Well, uh, would you rather see the campus run by the students or by Dr Summer Skill? The successor? The issues and the demands are still valid. Problem is that no one is going to think they

00:05:48.910 - 00:06:12.590

are. Okay. Can I see a lot of my mother or something? I'd better notch. Okay. Thanks. Mhm. The war in Vietnam, the problems of race in the cities. These are issues facing the citizens of the United States, and they are issues vividly facing the students on

00:06:12.590 - 00:06:41.670

an urban campus. Thank you. Yeah. Uh, yeah. Are you rolling? Okay, I'm ready for. However, Dr Summer skills reward for this decision was repaid by a full scale investigation into his handling of the matter. The State College Board of Trustees, with Governor Ronald Reagan and the

00:06:41.680 - 00:07:07.550

state Superintendent of Schools, Max Rafferty, and state Assembly Speaker Jesse Unruh in attendance met in Los Angeles. The political interest in the educational system of the state of California took center stage. Mhm. Mhm. That's right. Yeah. However, Dr Summer skills reward for this decision was repaid

00:07:07.550 - 00:07:24.360

by a full scale investigation into his handling of the matter. The State College Board of Trustees called an emergency meeting in Los Angeles with Governor Ronald Reagan with state Superintendent of Schools Max Rafferty. And with Assembly Speaker Jesse Andrew in attendance, the political interests in the

00:07:24.360 - 00:08:02.340

state of California took center stage. I'd like to do it one night, John. Summer skill is off the hook. For the moment. He has been retained. I'm sorry. Okay. All right. Turn the light off. Yeah, really? On the line. If I'm sorry. If Dr Summer School

00:08:02.340 - 00:08:19.770

had his problems with the political structure of the state, he found himself truly in the middle with the students on the other side. I'm not too happy with that. Did you like that? May I try it again, please? Because I was weak. Well, it's been a

00:08:19.770 - 00:08:45.940

part of the vast educational complex of the state since 18 99. Mhm. One significant fact in those years, the percentage of black students okay, Okay. It's been a part of the vast educational complex of the state since 18 99. But it's phenomenal. Growth has come in

00:08:45.940 - 00:09:05.630

the past 10 years. Yeah, full. And let me know when you're rolling. One of 18 in the California State college system. It's been a part of the vast educational complex of the state since 18 99 but it's phenomenal. Growth has come in the past 10 years,

00:09:05.640 - 00:09:34.910

from 12,000 students to 18,000 in that time. One significant fact. In those years, the percentage of black students has dropped from 11 to less than 3% and cut role from 12,000 students to 18,000 in that time, 11 to less than 3% cut. Mhm, yeah, but it's

00:09:34.910 - 00:09:55.610

phenomenal. Growth has come in the past 10 years, from 12,000 students to 18,000 in that time. One significant fact. In those years, the percentage of black students has dropped from 11 to less than 3%. Tell me we're gonna get there, but it's phenomenal. Growth has come

00:09:55.610 - 00:10:14.760

in the past 10 years, from 12,000 students to 18,000 in that time. One significant fact. In those years, the percentage of black students has dropped from 11 to less than 3% Yeah, you don't look it up highly rated for brother. Yeah, but I I don't know

00:10:14.760 - 00:10:36.080

what the booklets are on. The Republicans want to Ron Reagan. The breaking into the locked door of the administration building at San Francisco State occurred after a campus conflict resulting in some disciplinary suspensions of students by college President Dr Sean Summer Skill. During the protest action,

00:10:36.080 - 00:10:57.060

Dr Summer School pursued a policy of restraint and with San Francisco police agreeing did not call police onto the campus. That action or lack of it, was credited with keeping a minor disturbance from growing into a major riot. And I made two mistakes. Yeah, number. You

00:10:57.060 - 00:11:16.360

can buy one for Mike. All right, all right. This is San Francisco State College, one of 18 in the California State college system. It's been a part of the vast educational complex of the state since 18 99 but it's phenomenal. Growth has come in the past

00:11:16.360 - 00:13:38.150

10 years on significant fact. In those years, the percentage of black students has dropped from 11 to less than 3%. Okay, Finally, a committee to judge whether these people were guilty, whether they should have actually been suspended. This is what the protest was all about.

00:13:38.160 - 00:13:54.970

Okay, Also yesterday, at 10 o'clock, there were two things extremely noticeable at about uhh about the campus that were different from ordinary days. The first thing was that there were a large number of non students here where they come from, who invited them? The second thing

00:13:54.970 - 00:14:12.940

that was there. A large number of press men here who asked them to come and interfere in student problems. If it was a problem about Vietnam about civil rights. Okay, that's one thing. But yesterday we were discussing the suspension of six San Francisco State students. We

00:14:12.940 - 00:14:39.200

were discussing the suspension of open process. We don't need outside people. Why are they here? Mhm due process is the idea that this campus is based upon. We said if due process was not met that we would have to facilitate or to at least stop the

00:14:39.210 - 00:14:59.380

area in which due process was being violated. We do not. We didn't then and we do not provoke or advocate any kind of violence. And I think it's important we plan this as a political maneuver. We don't We don't approve, but we don't think it serves

00:14:59.380 - 00:15:16.720

to our aims in any way that what happened in the Commons or what happened in the cafeteria because of the actions that we took. Do you understand that we were doing this? Not for us. But you are all right. Very. The due process was violated repeatedly.

00:15:16.730 - 00:15:34.860

And due process is being violated throughout this country repeatedly, whenever meaningful descent leads to effectiveness of some kind and that the blacks are being effective in this country because they are really legitimately expressing themselves the only way they know how they've been brought up in a

00:15:34.860 - 00:15:52.570

society that has imposed violence on them. And they are reacting the only way that they know how. Which is the way of our upbringing imposed upon them violent. The process was cancelled theoretically because it ran some alleged pornography. That is not the fact. Now, the American

00:15:52.570 - 00:16:08.580

systems that a man is innocent and he was proved guilty. But this did not take place with the black students. When there was an uproar over the suspension of the, uh, open process editors, They were reinstated. Why weren't the black students reinstated? Because the black students

00:16:08.590 - 00:16:22.900

are militant. They're against the war. They don't want to die for a system that makes that dehumanization process that we're all aware of so much more concrete and brutal as far as they are concerned, they are constantly being oppressed. The violence is constantly being perpetrated against

00:16:22.900 - 00:16:37.020

them. And if the only way they have to breathe is to flex their muscles and then we jump and say, Oh, they're being violent no one wants to consider it that way. You want to pigeonhole? Did you want to consider it and has isolated case. So

00:16:37.030 - 00:16:57.830

in other words, they are again on campus expressing what is going on in the overall country in general. Very one. This is John Djerassi, international relations lecturer and one of the faculty leaders of the attack on the administration building. He was later fired by Dr Summer

00:16:57.830 - 00:17:39.500

skill, non political issue that they could present in order to ban it. And so they banned it. Open Process is a a journal of student opinion viewpoint. I think it's a very vital thing for this campus. I think it's needed. I think, uh, student viewpoint isn't

00:17:39.500 - 00:17:56.170

represented in the daily gator, for instance, which is the campus, uh, student daily paper uh, I think open process, very unique paper and the whole California State college system. I don't think you'll find anything like it in the state. And I think it's, uh, for a

00:17:56.170 - 00:18:13.680

vital that students do get a chance to express the viewpoints a matter of fact when it's closed up and, uh, other things start happening. What sort of other things? Uh, well, when you don't give a chance people a chance to voice their opinions and their viewpoints

00:18:13.680 - 00:18:28.470

and, uh, their protests, then they have to, uh, protests in other ways. Well, I thought we might be able to get down to the issues and get down to the demands. And I thought for a while we weren't doing that. And I still think we might

00:18:28.480 - 00:18:45.240

be able to Although realizing the conservative reaction, we probably won't. Um I think yesterday we lost it. We lost the issues and we lost the demands and we lost our validity. That's a personal judgment and not a judgment of maps. Did maps lose control of the

00:18:45.240 - 00:19:05.300

demonstration yesterday? There was no control of the demonstration yesterday. Who broke the glass where those maps organizers? Nope. They were happened was too many people up there. Um, too much pressure and no one knew what to do. Once you're up there, no one knew what to

00:19:05.310 - 00:19:17.600

do. And I thought perhaps you might be able to post our demands. And leader of March somewhere no one has to do what to do. And we're all standing in a lot of pressure. And people started shouting and the glass brother might have been the action

00:19:17.600 - 00:19:33.770

of individuals. Cartel. I wasn't that close. This is Phil Darlington, who is the president of the Associated Students of San Francisco's Knowledge. Mr. Darlington, you have it in your power to appoint number of students to student committees. You have appointed some members of the black Student

00:19:33.770 - 00:19:51.180

Union to these committees. Why? Well, my feeling on it was pretty simple. I felt that if I could appoint a good number of ah members of the militant Black Students Union to ah student faculty committees that perhaps they have less interest in overturning the system by

00:19:51.180 - 00:20:05.490

becoming a part of it. As it turned out, it didn't work because the legislature failed to approve the, uh, the appointments on mass, which was what was required by the black students union. In this particular case, they wanted, in other words, all eight students to be

00:20:05.490 - 00:20:20.310

approved, and the Legislature was only willing to approve a couple of them. Do you think that's been a contributing factor to the unrest here yesterday? Well, you know, you could you could cite a lot of things that have been contributing factors going back a couple of

00:20:20.310 - 00:20:34.880

years. Sure, I think was part of it. Without down the gator, the campus newspaper wrote an inflammatory editorial, uh, calling some of the members of the BS you or their allies goon squads. I think that probably contributed to it. And, uh, you know, there have been

00:20:34.880 - 00:20:50.910

a lot of things over the last couple of weeks that you can probably point to is having a a hand. And what occurred yesterday at this Upstate. Do you approve or disapprove of Dr Summer skills tactics yesterday and not calling on the police? I think, uh,

00:20:50.920 - 00:21:03.100

he did the right thing in regard to the campus. I think there would have been a lot more people heard if he brought the police on campus. I'm sure to quell that crowd yesterday. It would have required at least 500 police. And I believe that 500

00:21:03.100 - 00:21:14.360

uniform police came on this campus. It would have been a, uh, a real riot, not just a riot. As reported in the paper. I think, though, that politically he's in hot water. That's evidence he's on his way out, probably.
