HISTORY OP THE SCAB
Winter Term was a time of reevaluation and crisis for Oregon State
University.
The few. Bl.ck tudents at
OStJ found that they could no longer remain
sjlñt in the face of racism. Early in
January, menibers of the BSU and their
advisor took to President Jensen a list of
niiie specific suggestions for change. President Jensen formed a committee of students,
faculty and administrators to look into the
situation. This committee formulated a ptoposal that called for prompt action to remedy
a situation of racial discrimination and.
grave injustice.
Action was not taken over a long period
of time, and at that time, a group of cOncerned students and sympathetic faculty met
to to plan Possible action to support the
