TWLF Snaps Back

Strike Holds as TWLF Snaps Back to the Hard Line

The Third World Liberation Front snapped back to the hard line Thursday at UC.

Front spokesmen criticized Tuesday's academic senate resolution as not meeting the strike demands.

The spokesmen then laid down the minimal conditions under which a moratorium on strike activities would be called.

Richard Aoki declared that the faculty decision did not "resolve problems relating to when such a (Third World) college would be developed, who would be instrumental in its development, and when and how the funds for such a college would be allocated.

Quelling rumors of a possible sellout, Aoki said, "We will settle for nothing less than a full Third World college for the Fall of '69, developed TW faculty, TW students, and TW community people."

Specific conditions for a moratorium to be declared include the immediate hiring of a chairman and four division heads of an interim department of ethnic studies, and an administration promise for the college to be created in four to six months. The five people to be hired would be selected by Third World students and faculty.

Other TWLF conditions include the immediate hiring of Third World people in administrative positions throughout the university.

Where it's at, according to Jaime Soliz, is that "We have had a strike, we have a strike, we will continue to strike!''
