their respective emails that
though
they
support
the
right of students to protest,
they encouraged them to not
participate.
“We
urge
you
not
to
participate in such a protest,
which gives power to the
people who spread falsehoods
and
hate,”
Moje
wrote.
“Instead, we urge you to teach
your courses and use them
as an opportunity to engage
our students in discussions
about free speech, the power
of multiple perspectives, how
to launch productive protests,
and about the right to the
opportunity to learn for all
people.”
Instructors take action
With a number of students
planning
to
participate
in
the strike, professors across
campus
acknowledged
the
ongoing
#StopSpencer
events
and
made
efforts
to
accommodate
students
missing class.
David Gerdes, Arthur F.
Thurnau Professor of Physics,
did not cancel class Thursday,
but offered accommodations
for students in his Physics 240
class,
making
participation
extra credit and providing
students the opportunity to
make up attendance points.
Though
Gerdes
said
he
understands students should
protest Spencer in their own
way, he believes holding class
Thursday
and
encouraging
attendance
is
the
most
powerful course of action.
“I understand the urge to
protest Spencer, however I
think that someone like him
derives his power from the
power to distract, disrupt and
capture the narrative,” Gerdes
said. “I don’t feel that the best
way to respond to ignorance
and hatred is to bring our
teaching mission grinding to
a halt. But I understand that
people disagree about this.”
Ultimately, Gerdes said he
believes opening a conversation
with students about recent
events is a significant step
professors should take.
“I thought it would be
important
to
not
pretend
that we live in a bubble, to
acknowledge
what’s
going
on and to make the students
understand that I am aware of
their concerns and that I share
many of their concerns and I
am willing to support them
within reason,” he said.
Associate
Sociology
professor
Sandra
Levitsky
rescheduled
her
Thursday
class in light of the day’s
events.
“My planned lecture for
today
was
really
essential
for the final class paper and
I didn’t want anyone to be
disadvantaged for missing it,”
Levitsky said.
Fortunately, Levitsky had an
extra class built in the syllabus,
meaning students will not be
academically affected.
Several GSIs also canceled
discussion
sections.
One
GSI, who asked to remain
anonymous to not jeopardize
her job, told her students
that while canceling a
class defies both LSA and
departmental policy, she
would do so.
“I strongly believe that
learning happens in and
out of the classroom,”
she wrote in an email
to her students. “Please
take this time to educate
yourself
about
current
issues, reflect on your
responsibilities to ensure
a safe and welcoming
space to learn, and act
according to your beliefs.”
Students sit in at Dean’s
office
Late
Thursday
morning, a couple dozen
students held a sit-in at
Martin’s office, talking
to Martin and Angela
Dillard,
LSA
associate
dean
of
undergraduate
education.
Throughout
the
sit-in,
students
continually
took
issue
with the administrators’
tones,

they

Every Friday, The Michigan
Daily republishes an article
from The Daily’s archives
from a moment in University
history.
January 10, 1970
— “This
is one struggle the people
will win,” vows a bearded
Blue Panther revolutionary,
speaking of the battle over
the name of the sign in the
Regent’s Plaza. This battle,
begun last term, seems to be
growing more heated as the
winter becomes colder.
One minute the sign says
“Regent’s Plaza,” and the
next it is repainted to say
“People’s Plaza.” You never
can be quite sure what the
name of the plaza between
the SAB and the Union is
at any one moment without
first consulting the sign.
The struggle to control
the sign is escalating into
a half-serious game of
wits fought by a group of
students calling themselves
the “Canadian Blue
Panthers” and another
group calling itself “the
University.”
According to a scoreboard
posted in the SAB office of
the SGC coordinating Vice
President Bruce Wilson,
the score in the battle is
now People 713 and Regents
a puny 100. This score is
compiled by totaling up the
hours in which the sign says
either “People’s Plaza” or
“Regent’s Plaza,” counting
from Dec. 6, the day of the
first repainting by the Blue
Panthers.
A spokesman for the
Panthers, who called
himself the chairman of
the sign division, hinted
that repainting of the sign,
which as of yesterday
said “Regent’s Plaza,” is
imminent and could take
place “some night around
about midnight.” He fondled
a can of blue spray paint as
he spoke.
“We would have repainted
the sign sooner, but it
was too cold,” he went
on defensively, as if his
revolutionary zeal might
be questioned. “Anyway,
the plant workers have
something which takes
enamel off the sign.”
As if to emphasize that
the struggle for control of
the sign is a true people’s
struggle, the Panther
spokesman pointed out
that “the masses have
occasionally done the job
for us.”
Plant manager A.B.
Veker, less concerned with
the ideological questions
involved in the struggles
and more concerned with
the problem of the sign
itself, admits that “we
haven’t any idea how to stop
the repainting of the sign.”
“We haven’t found the guy
who’s doing it yet,” Veker
says.
Plant workers did try one
tricky maneuver over the
Christmas holidays, taking
the plates off the sign. They
put the plates, which said
“Regent’s Plaza,” back on
the sign last Wednesday.
According to the Blue
Panther spokesman, the
struggle for the sign is being
aided by the fact that “the
guys in the Plant Dept. don’t
like working on weekends.”
