Student Strike Called
After Night Protests,
Arrests At Berkeley
Special To The Kernel

BERKELEY, Calif. -U- niversity
of California students at a
mass meeting Wednesday night
voted for a classroom strike beginning at noon today after the
administration summoned police
during a sit-i- n protesting unauthorized Naval recruiting booths
on campus.
The Council of Campus Organizations, latest successor to
the Free Speech Movement of

organized the meeting attended by some 3,000 of the
school's 27,500 students.
s
The protest stems from
and demonstrations on campus Wednesday after students
demanded reand
moval of a Naval recruiting table
in the student union building.
University regulations permit
organizations to set up
tables only at designated places
on campus, and the student
union building was not one of
them.
However, the administration
refused to have the table removed, saying government agencies and organizations are exempted from the rule. A request
r
that an
group be allowed to have a table at the
same site was also refused.
According to the Daily
University student newspaper, Executive Vice Chancellor
Earl F. Cheit called police and
asked a judge for arrest warrants against seven
when the students organized a

who was denied readmission to
Berkeley early last month.
Between 300 and 400 students
gathered in the street in an unsuccessful effort to stop the police bus carrying the arrested
demonstrators. The Californian
reported skirmishes between students and police in the street.
The CCO, at a press conference today, charged the administration with "violating the
rights of the University commu-

the administration

again revealed its 'solution' for
student problems: the Alameda
County police."
It laid down five demands:
1. That policemen never be
called ontothecampusto"solve"
campus political problems.
2. That there be no disciplinary action taken against participants in Wednesday's demonstrations, and that the administration see, publicly and
to drop the charges against
the nine people arrested.
indi3. That all
viduals and
groups be granted at least the
force-abl-

y,

privileges enjoyed by governmen-

tal agencies.
4. That disciplinary hearings
be open, and that these hearings be bound by cannons of
due process comparable to those
already published by the Council of Campus Organizations. A
legitimate ground of defense shall
be that regulations are incompatible with Section Two or
Three of the Dec. 8 resolution
of the United States Constitution.
That resolution, passed by
the Academic Senate, said only
the time, place and manner of
student political activity should
be regulated.

5. That negotiations will establish a system of just and
effective student representation
in formulation of a new set of
policies regulating student activity; the "strike committee" must
be permitted to name a majority of representatives and the
negotiating body shall make no
decision without agreement of
student constituents.
The Associated Students at
the University of California
(ASUC) voted to support the

strike.

The strike and demonstrations are the first major protests at Berkeley involving the
use of police since the Free
Speech

Movement

in

1964-6-

5,

when the university became the
rallying cry for student activists
across the nation.
The Free Speech protest resulted indirectly in the appointment of Roger W. Heyns, a former vice president for academic
affairs at the University of Michigan, as chancellor of the Berkeley campus last fall.
Heyns was thought to be a
friend of the students but last
spring he suspended and placed
on probation a number of students who violated the university's regulations about the place
and frequency of political activity.

Some of the regulations put
into effect under Heyns administration have not been favorably
received but there had been reports that Berkeley students were
tired and no more protests were
expected.
Only last month, CCO leader
Mike Lerner said the groups in
his organization were occupied
with activities off campus and
"do not desire a confrontation
with the University."

LBJ Gets Dark Education Report

(c) New York Time

New

Service

Johnson reAUSTIN, Texas-Presid- ent
a generally gloomy report
ceived Wednesday
on the first efforts to reach poor children
through federal education funds.
The "crucial ingredient" in improving
education of the disadvantaged, the report
said, is changing "the attitude of teachers."
Yet in most communities studied the special
projects for the poor "were alarmingly deficient in facing up to this need," it said.
The report was made to the President
by the National Advisory Council on the
Education of Disadvantaged Children, created in 1965 by the legislation providing the
first Federal Aid for Elementary and Secondary Education.
The council report concent rat ed on the
$250 million, one quarter of the total, spent
this year on special summer education projects for disadvantaged children.
It found much to commend in some of
the 86 school districts studies, but concluded: "for the most part, projects are
piecemeal, fragmented efforts at remediation or vaguely directed enrichment. It is

extremely rare to find strategically planned,
comprehensive programs for change.
It found "most disappointing" the failure
of schools "to identify and attract the most
seriously disadvantaged children" to the
special programs. It also concluded that
"frequently, heavy purchases of educational
equipment are made without examining the

educational practices that underlie their
use."
The report was based on the personal
observations of 27 consultants. They found
that most of the summer programs "took
place in ordinary schoolhouse classrooms
and were, at best, mild variations on ordinary classroom work." In a "very few"
instances, the report said, "teachers established an entirely new relationship with
children when their summer programs were
taken out of the schoolhouse."
These wete some examples of what the
consultants reported:
From a Southern city: "the program was
an uncreative and unimaginative as I have
ever seen. Pupils dropped out in large nunh
bers. Several teachers indicated they felt

that any kind of help which might be
offered would not significantly change most
of these kids. The head of guidance and
counseling told me that he was reasonaly
certain that most of the cause of people
being in the deprived category was biological, a result of poor genetic endowment.
Another central office administrator referred
to the futility of helping those 'Jigs'."
From a small New England town: "the
young male teacher, conducting an arithmetic lesson, was extremely tense and distant from the children. He behaved like the
stereotype of an English schoolmaster."

The factor that most distinguished successful from unsuccessful programs, the report said, "was the difference in the quality
of the relationship the rapport between
teacher and child."

Despite their failings, the summer programs "besides being iinpoitant in themselves, can have special beneficial effects
on the year-rounsuccess of the (federal
education aid) piograms which can be attained in no other way," the report said.
