Oregon State University today goes
into its second week without having addressed itself to the issues of human
rights which are fundamental to its
existance. .ASOSU Senate--haltinly, and,
under protest--has affirmed the need fpr
the boycott and for the administrative
proposal. It has not been heeded The
Am.erióan Federation of Teachers has taken
the same action, with no better results.
Support has also come from the Foreign
Students Association, the Student Action
Committee and the Kennedy Action Corps.
None of th'ese student appeals, however,
has been effective. Faculty Senate,
stymied. by one reticent member, died
Monday night--presumably to rise from its
thethird'day in supportof the
Cevante -measure.
We are left with the sorry spectacle
of a university whose figures of authority are being openly defied by persons
whose usual concerns extend no further
than jock st'aps and Tartan Turf. We

students of this university must demonstrate their willingness to hold the
line for human rights--not merely human
rights for the majority, but human
rights for all.
Faculty Senate--which on Thursday
will again consider the Cervantes proposal--must be convinced of the depth

Portland State Support....
.Fac]lty Stalemate...
Andrew Haynes, newly-elected student
body president. at Portland State University, released a,st,atement in support of the OSU student boycott early
this morning.
Haynes, a 1963 gradu.te of Howard
University, is the first black student
to be. elected student body president at
an Oregon college.
n emergency session of the Faculty
Senate last night adjourned without a
.vote.. on the proposal made by assistant
professor Fred Cervantes and four other
faculty members. Their proposal might
have resolved the present stalemate...
between different factions of the university.
In his statement given to the Scab
Sheet by telephone, Haynes said:
'In view of what has happened at
Oregon State University, .1 feel that I
must extend my support to the students.
who are fighting to impleenit: firm
and permAnent.. policy of hun. rights
that. allows cultural freedom and.
epression in.,dess, hair style.s facial
hair and language. I support he movement to the extent that the issue is not
Fred Miltons bea.rd, but is instead
student rights as individuals.
Groans went up. from the visitor's
gallery, jammed with students and
faculty numbering about 1,000. Shouts
of continüe the boycott" filled the
Home Economics auditorium as the spectators, who had waited for nearly.
three hours for a vote, filed out.
One of the five faculty members who
had called for the special session said
later, "We're dead. They keep giving
us a lot of talk about 'more time', but
there isn't any time left.'
He ref ered to the call for more time
which came 'rom L.W. Gay, Forestry Sen.,

.
alsorovide academic excellence.
I
would hope that the conflict at Oregon
State can be quickly resolved in favor
of the adminisrative proposal.
.:'If there is any way in which my
appearance on Oregon Stat's campus can
help tho.progress of;stu4ent rights and
the resolution of the campus conflict,
I will make myself available as a
speaker and in whatever way my presence
may be deemed, effective.
'The progress o.f the conflict at OSU
is bing closely watched by the people
in Portland. We are concerned that
something more,positive than a policy
ri. shaving will 'be forthcOming.';,
The proposal asked for establishment of an arbitration committee whose
decisions, would be binding.
It also
called for holding in abeyance any
punitive action taken against students
--meaning that dismissal from athletic
teams or action .taken against students
who boycott.classes would be suspended
until the committee had completed its
investigation and made a decision.
'The President (Dr. Jensen) really
wanted us to pass it, He's with us,'
one faculty member said after speaking
with Jensen. No announcement has yet
been made whether Thursday's Faculty:
Senate will also be open to students.
.
Boycott Progress Heport....
According to a survey yesterday by the Scab Sheet, 67 professors are now
boycotting thei classes. This does not include 36 others who expressed sympathy with the boycott and.the Administrative Proposal,but. felt they could not.

Modern Languages. The entire Art Department is now on strike, not only in
up'port. of the boycott., but because of a budget cut in the department.
Individuals supporting the.boycott range from two-time Nobel Prize
winner Linus Pauling to Olympic gold medalisb Tommie Smith.
Yesterday the
Orego,n Council for New Politics and the Kennedy Action Corps publicly, added
