Date: 12/2/1966Call Number: CE 767Format: 1/4 3 3/4 ipsProducers: Colin EdwardsCollection: Colin Edwards Free Speech Movement
Press conference with three participants in the strike: Dan Rosenthal, a representative from the AFT (TA union) and another participant. They discuss and answer questions about the administration's refusal to negotiate with the strike's negotiating committee. Negotiations could not begin at the time because the administration refused to negotiate with the strike committee since it contained one non-student (Mario Savio). The AFT would not negotiate without the strike committee, and the ASUC agreed not to engage in negotiations.

Press Conference after the December 5th, 1966 rally as the strike continues. An Academic Senate meeting has taken place and resolutions had been made prior to this tape. Two separate meetings are on the tape: the first one is a press conference with Chancellor Hines and two faculty members (Professor Kip and a professor of law). Hines claims that progress has been made on student involvement at UCB, and faculty members talk about their support for the administration. The tape cuts to a separate meeting in which Mario Savio speaks, criticizing the Academic Senate and the resolutions that had been made declaring that the strike should end immediately. Professor English from Electrical Engineering claims that students should be meeting and dicussing with faculty rather than confronting the administration. Ed Schwartz compares the people listening to Chancellor Hines to "white negroes" agreeing to every word he says. He also discusses student responsibility to prevent the majority in "majority rule" from having the wrong perspective, and urges students to continue organizing and talking to people. Franz Schurman, a faculty member, speaks about consensus, and Professor Stocking begins to speak on the events of the day before it cuts out for the next tape.
