Q.estions priorities
Acting President Karl Falk clearly Indicated where his priorities
Ue when be refused to meet with Educational Opportunity Program
students Friday. The students had scheduled a meeting with Dr. Falk
at which time they planned to present a petition calling for the removal of EOP Director Walker Munson. Dr. Falk's 'reason' for not
meeting with the six representatives of over 500 EOP students who
signed petitions demanding Munson's ouster, on the grounds of Incompetence, was that there waa one too many students ln the group
which was ethnlcaUy representative of black, Chicano and Indian
students ln EOP. When an Indian student was asked to leave the
closed-door meeting and refused to do so, Dr. Falk refused to continue with the meeting.
The six representatives then stalked out of the Acting President's
office, one of them declaring that 'Falk was hung up on technicalities' (referring to the presence of the additional student) and alleged that "he didn't have anything to say anyway.*
Dr. Falk's refusal to meet with the student representatives, who
were at all times orderly, clearly shows that he has no desire to
meet "peacefully" with students and handle situations before they
reach the potentially explosive stage.
Following the student walk-out, newsmen hoping to get a statement
from Dr. Falk concerning the events leading up to the meeting were
not allowed to meet with the Acting President. They were Informed
that he had no comments to make and that he knew nothing of the
petitions prior to the students* arrival at his office. They were also
Informed that they could not see the^Actlng President as he had
"other things" on his agenda and was "too busy" to discuss the matter that afternoon.
Dr. Falk obviously does not place the needs of the students at the
es. While the Acting President supposedly
the petitions, the students had made the
e of the scheduled meeting. Therefore,

vatives. But their manner 0i
seizing power and their conduci
of that power has betrayed clearly that they are not conservatives
ln the classic sense - men who
would conserve what is Just and
fruitful ln a tradition, men who
would build carefully and change
even more carefully - but they
are destroyers. During the past
years of struggle they have never
contributed one Innovation, one
imaginative development that
might make this college a true
university. Now, with power in
their hands, they are dehberaiely
destroying the men and the Institutions who make them realize
who they are, who promise freedom and fuldlllment for the growing spirit of the student body.
They have destroyed the careers
of good men. But that was Just a
political change ln personnel that
can be easily forgiven as the
new leaders build their Image ol
a college, they wish us to believe.
But they threaten other men, and
ln so doing destroy the courage
of many others who have now
run to their sanctuaries.

Religious Center; they have violated agreed upon consultative
procedures again and again; they
have crushed the frail Institution
of democracy; they have destroyed the glad sense that we
had for so long that the college
was not just growing but developing. They are destroyers not
builders. Now that they have
wiped out the Experimental College, they are beginning to tamper with the curriculum. They
have made clear In the past that
they will determine who wlU teach
and now they begin to decide what
can be taught. In so doing they
are cutting at the heart of a college. No vital faculty or student
body can tolerate that thrust. To
argue that they will not go on Is
naive folly. Let us remember
what they have done as we speculate about their plans. Let us remember that destroyers naturally destroy. What Is worse, they
attempt to clothe their destruc-
tlveness ln the mantel of righteousness and so stand forth In
full hypocrisy.

first hearing of the All CoUege

Assistant Chairman Dr. Orrln

campus with the present calendar was apparently all talk ln
view of the absence of students
and faculty outside the committee at the hearing.
The committee was earlier
directed to propose a calendar
system relative to the educational role of the coUege with
the most, appropriate time distribution that can be effectively
utIUzed.    Various plans a

proposal submitted by April 1.

Dr. Martnus Van Elswyk, committee chairman and associate
professor of agronomy, began
the hearing comprising 12 persons stating because of tight
funds the quarter system and
tri-mester plan were not feasible
at this time.
