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.
