WASHINGTON (A) - A group
of student leaders representing a
variety of campus organizations,
causes, and presidential candidates
has issued a call for a "new youth
comsmitment" to meeting the de-
mands of the poor, beginning with
"massive" participation in the
Mobilization for the Poor People's
Campaign here tomorrow.
The call, coordinated by offi-
cials of the National Student As-
sociation, listed severil easons
which make it "clear to us that
efforts to achieve change in this
country have reached a critical
stage."
"Widespread indifference to the
proposals of the President's riot
commission report; Congressional
intransigence to meeting the needs
of the poor; cries for law and or-
der without corresponding de-
mands for justice and equality
in our nation's cities; highlighted
by the assassinations of Dr. Mar-
tin Luther King Jr., and, recently,
Sen. Robert Kennedy," were cited
as reasons.
Mrs. Susan Oliver, a former
staff member of Kennedy Youth
Action, said at a press conference
this week that joining the Poor
People's Campaign will appeal to
former Kennedy supporters who
might feel lost but who still "feel

Roosevelt U reaches stalemate

4

By HARVEY WASSERMAN
CHICAGO (CPS) - A bitter
battle between the administration
and some students and faculty
members at Roosevelt University
has subsided into a vague stale-
mate, with extremely heavy
casualties on both sides.
The battle began in late March
when Roosevelt President Rolf
Weil overruled the recommenda-
tion of the history department
that historian Staughton Lynd
receive a three-year full-time
appointment to the faculty.
Weil vetoed the appointment!
on "ad hominum" 'grounds, re-
ferring not once to Lynd's capa-
cities as a teacher, but citing in-
stead some "private information"
he did not wish to disclose. The
president, however, did take pub-
lic note of a picture of the con-
troversial Lynd carrying a picket
sign.
Repeated attemptstby the fac-
ulty and students to get Weil
to change his decision failed,
and by late April the students
were mobilizing. A petition drive
gained wide student support,,and
Weil indicated he would listen to,
the students, while emphasizing,
he would not change his mind.!
A series of sit-ins began, which,
resulted in more than '70 student,
arrests. The university responded
by expelling 1$ students and sus-
pending many more.
In the meantime, faculty sup-
port for Lynd was increasing,3
and a group called the Committee
for Academic Freedom in Illi-
nois reorganized and began rally-
ing support in the academic com-
munity throughout the state.
The battle at Roosevelt came
to a head at the end of the
school year, when finals began
gutting the student momentum.
Well approached the University
Senate and told it to choose be-
tween him and Lynd. The Senate
chose Weil, endorsing in addi-
tion a statement commending
him "for his courageous refusal
to yield to the sit-ins."
But two faculty members,
Donald Bluestone and Miriam
Haskett, have decided to leave
Roosevelt's history department.

The local chapter of the Ameri-
can Association of University
Professors has called for a bo-
cott of the university by pros-
pective faculty members and for
an investigation of the incident
by the national organizatiori.
Also, an ad hoc group called
Students for a Quality Educa-
tion has been formed and is es-
tablishing a free school to offer
"a free and responsive intellec-
tual community at Roosevelt Uni-
versity."

The group's initial purpose was
to provide a salary to keep the
Lynd family in Chicago. Having
achieved this, its functions are
branching out. The Chicagb or-
ganizers' union plans to estab-
lish a course, and some ,members
of the free university are working
with high school students.
About two to three dozen per-
sons are !working to guarantee
the school's permanence. Class-
es will begin the first week in
July.
