00:00:01.610 - 00:00:14.570

the work hadn't been done for us as we had hoped, and as a result, we're not ready to go ahead. We're going to work as fast as we can between now and then. Of course. Just get things rolling. And I hope we have some luck. But

00:00:14.570 - 00:00:33.530

there is doubt that there will be a black studies program. Dr. Hayakawa, uh, is pretty ridiculous if he thought that I was going to break the strike against the wishes of all of the persons who are leading us. Right? And nobody much was working in a

00:00:33.530 - 00:00:47.450

way which would violate the strike goals during the strike. Uh, that is true, but the, uh, that lack of work did not hold up the department. The department would have been ready to go Have the strike been settled. Justice is being is ready to go now,

00:00:47.460 - 00:01:03.820

since the strike has been settled. In your opinion, who hasn't said it yet? Has it in your opinion? Has enough been done now to assure that there be a black studies program in the fall on our part? But not on Dr Harry College part. What is

00:01:03.820 - 00:01:22.310

like the finalizing of the settlement of the strike. What about the black Students Union? Point of view. Will you insist that Dr Hair head the program, or will you go on with the program? No matter how it's formulated, we take the position that the Black studies

00:01:22.310 - 00:01:40.550

Department is going to have self determination. And that will mean that we will have the power to hire and select whoever we wish to head that department. And that person will be Dr Nathan Hair. There is some doubt, because we've got so much work to do.

00:01:40.550 - 00:01:56.590

Still, we were behind times. Uh, wasn't that the responsibility of Dr Nathan hair? Or was it? Yes, it was very, very specifically, responsibility of Dr here. We asked him to do this. We put the responsibility upon him and he just simply refused to turn in the

00:01:56.590 - 00:02:14.080

work on account of the strike. And you see that as holding up the whole program? Yes. Yes, it's very serious. We depended upon him entirely. Well, what about his status on the faculty here? You've said publicly that you don't intend to renew his contract. That's right.

00:02:14.150 - 00:02:32.290

Well, if a man disappoints you like that in a very crucial in a crucial job there is no reason to continuous contractors. There wasn't the black studies program a part of the settlement made this march. I mean, wasn't the settlement of the strike made contingent on

00:02:32.290 - 00:02:47.240

the black studies program being formed in the fall? I don't know that that was one of the clauses, because after all, we had decided back in December December 6th when I officially announced that the Black studies program and a black studies department was officially to be

00:02:47.240 - 00:03:10.850

launched. So you didn't need to say anything more about it. Four months later, Uh, the settlement of the strike said that I am eligible for will be eligible for selection and that the Community Review Board and the black faculty and Black to, uh, student you know

00:03:11.240 - 00:03:34.110

representatives would select the chairman. Time will tell all of various speculations and hallucinations of Hayakawa. He has said definitely today again publicly, that he will not renew your contract. Well, people like to sleep in the same things over and over. Uh, but only time can tell

00:03:34.110 - 00:03:39.960

whether the speculations of and hallucinations of, uh, Professor Michael will materialize or not.
