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, saying they were dismissive and STRIKE From Page 1 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.” —AL SHACKELFORD FRIDAY’S BICENTENNIAL FEATURE: ALL POWER TO THE PLAZA: PEOPLE SMASH REGENTS See STRIKE, Page 3
