00:00:01.040 - 00:00:30.480

question in America. Our session is 2953. And if you want to call us uh, in a little while, when you get that phone back together, fine, otherwise bring your information up here, I'm gonna switch to the switchboard. What primarily do you hope to accomplish? Well, we're

00:00:30.480 - 00:00:46.560

going to see a variety of people in the Congress and the Senate and the house and people in the executive branch among the total delegation there 16 students. Now we feel that we have a critical viewpoint to represent. And that's why we brought to question the

00:00:46.560 - 00:01:03.530

legitimacy of the process which selected the original delegation, which members of the third world were grossly underrepresented. You see what is happening is the radical and the liberal has been speaking for us. We have been not been addressing ourselves nationally in the last year and a

00:01:03.530 - 00:01:18.660

half to the question of racism, which we feel still pervades uh, national policy. We are concerned because 20% of the people getting killed in Vietnam are chicanos. We want to bring these issues out. We want answers to these things. In the long run dr ehrlich, do

00:01:18.660 - 00:01:33.090

you hope to set up some kind of liaison between the campuses, between the university communities and the political level in Washington. Yes, I think that the university has to take a lead in trying to solve the problems that these gentlemen are talking about. I think they're

00:01:33.090 - 00:01:43.250

perfectly correct. In other words, that we're not getting the leadership out of Washington were not even approaching it. The people are in charge now and I think it's going to be part of the job of the university to see to it that the american people for

00:01:43.250 - 00:01:56.380

a change, start paying attention to what's going on in Washington and start electing some people who will try and solve these problems instead of maintaining the status quo. Is there unanimity on campus among all the student groups in support of the, of the student strike itself?

00:01:56.490 - 00:02:13.960

The black student union will issue a statement of his position with regards to the student strike tomorrow. Well, what precisely does effect on the Cambodian development with a student strike at stanford? Have? Yeah, we don't, we don't believe it will have any, we don't believe we

00:02:13.960 - 00:02:28.520

will have any effect on. Well, I think it's largely an expression of concern. I think it's an expression of the students concerned that we shouldn't have business as usual while the world is going down the drain. And there are an awful lot of faculty who certainly

00:02:28.520 - 00:02:41.070

go along with that point of view, that It's not an appropriate thing for the university to say that as an intellectual community, what we have to continue doing is what we've been doing for the last 40 years. As you can see the very little end in

00:02:41.070 - 00:03:10.260

the world. While we have these other problems. I hope she doesn't get. I don't think anybody would have been on this plane are in sympathy with the strike, but they're just annoyed. They can't get to work. Did they physically try to buy you from entering the

00:03:10.640 - 00:03:33.680

in some cases we stayed all night? Do you think this is going to go on? I don't know. Maybe they mentioned thursday through thursday. Perhaps. What effect has it had on the conduct of the administration's offices? Are the officers all function? I think that the most

00:03:33.680 - 00:04:04.120

of the offices on campus, the academic departments are free to go in. It's mainly this building and the ROTC building and hoover institution that's been affected most. It's very difficult to get an accurate view of what's been going on when you are confined to one building

00:04:04.120 - 00:04:25.020

during a demonstration. However, we have gotten numerous reports here both days, we've had a petition signed by 3500 members of the stanford community taken to Washington today. The signatures on that include those of the president and the provost asking uh warning that the the Cambodian decision

00:04:25.020 - 00:04:41.040

can result in irreparable harm to universities and great divisiveness within american society. Can you cut Bob? There's one question. Good, thank you very much
