Opinion ov The Strike

)

IT IS A WEEK SINCE THE STRIKE waft suspended and it ia now po atble to make preliminary evaluations of

Mime of tha le**on0 to be learned from the strike and some of iU immediate results. Unfortunately space limitations do not allow a full and comprehensive treatment of the tstfues, •

. A few weeks before the strike began we asked the Student.Council ccmraittee investigating the Delany resig­nation to explore the various courses of action in which stu­dent energies couM be directed with the aim of resolving the issues in the Davis and Knickerbocker dispute.

Unfortunately this suggestion was pot followed down the line with the result that not only was an ill-prepared and ill-considered referendum going to be presented to the stu­dent body but that there was no plan- carefully thought out or otherwise, outlined for winning community-wide sup-1>ort, upon which the success of the strike depends. The ref-fi-endum had two basic provisions, one asking for approval of a one day walkout and the other for a sustained strike later in the term.

The fall-to iug Tuesday tbe^AVC Executive Committee issued •U To Hell With Harr>—W« Strike [Monday]- leaiet calling for support of a wildcat strike the Moaday feUowiag the ref­erendum vote. In effect, it said: To heB with the referendom. the vtudeot government, and the consequence*. Since space doeo not permit us to discass this amtter farther, let's continoe.

This wrecking movement was supported soon after­wards by VTA. the Marxist Cultural Society, and the Wil-ired Mendelsohn Club (of the Communist Party), an off-campus group.

Confronted with a possible wildcat strike splitting the student body, under* duress, the Executive Committee changed the original date set for the sustained walkout (May 51 h—about three weeks before finals) to an earlier t'ate (April 25th). On Thursday, another referendum was drawn up. some of its proponents stating that the change still left the referendum "un-democrattc"—it still didn't allow students to vote for an immediate sustained strike.

The tkad referendum gave the stadents a "deaMcratfc" choice Tucoday or Wednesd^. TM» "democratic"

thrust before the Jtudeata friday morning, did n^t allow a elMMce ta those students, wha, possiMy resliziag that a strike late in tha term was a poor tactic, at the saatt time wanted a date net which would give a strike committee the opportunity to win concrete auppert from ALL sectiocm cf tha WHamoaity.

The importance of community support Is primary. It is only' community pressure directed at the Board of Higher Education which will force the Board to prefer charges against Knickerbocker and Davis and to conduct trials, un-j less the State Commissioner of Education (who is also sub­ject to pressure) directs the BHE to bring charges. The score of telegrams which were sent to the Strike Commit­tee will not influence the Board; whatever is needed is a rain of haadreds, of thoasaads of telegrams, letters and petitions from a l sorts of organizations, influential individuals, from parents of City students, as well as from individual citizens addressed to the Baari.

The adTninistration has no cause for slee because of our inexperience for we achieved a student unity hardly envi­roned by the administration. It was this unity, we are sore.l that was the primary factor in the setting: of a definite and j early date for the hearings on the Student Council petition before State Education Commissioner Spaulding.

The studeatt of the CoHege of the City of New York have jus* completed a ctafe of the fight against racism that wM go down in the history of education as the «ost prafonnd democratic student action in the post war period and one of the most important in all stttdeat history.

im a time of growing repression, when progressively nunded. peace-desiring Americans are under attack, the stu-

of our school have boldly declared to the nation and

the world that they anti-Semitism and

Rut the strike a demonstration. It was th for the thousands it. There are as* the following five, we

to be drawn from the strike, but believe, are the most important

I*. 5 ?

The Deep-Rooted Democratic Sentiment

' 1: The strike demonstrated the deep democratic desires which still exist among

. CCNY students, and which on a national „ scale, remain the great hope for peace and, democracy in America. Many pro­gressives have become cynical about the peasibtiities of defeating the drive of bt? business (executed by their political rep­resentatives in the Republican and Demo­cratic parties) towards war and fascism.

The CCNY strike dispels such cyni­cism.

For the strike could have started only on the basis of such a democratic senti-awnt. It would have been quickly broken by the tremendous pressure. brought to hear by the school administration, the pe-tice arid the Mayor were it not for that deeply rooted spirit.

The Importance to Fight Against Davis and Knickerbocker

2: The resistance put up by Wright, .the Board of Higher Education, O'Dwyer and others make it plain that they con­sider the maintenance of Davis and Knickerbocker of special importance. They recognize that in fighting to oust the bigots. City students are not just attacking two individuals (who in the scheme of things are relatively unim­

portant to Wright & Co.) but are attack­ing the rotten systems of jimcrow ami anti-Semitism which dominate our edu-caliona! system and which reflect the pat­tern of discrimination which exists in the country at large.

They fear that a victory* on Davis and Knickerbocker at City College might crack open these degenerate practices at the seams by leading to the development of similar struggles throughout the na­tion which could not be resisted. This is the only thing that could explain the po­lice brutality and other means of intimi­dation used by Wright's and 0*Dwyer*s police, which in the final analysis can only be characterized as activities of fear.

The Diive Towards War and fascism and Racism

3: The resistance to our demands was so intense because when CCNY students fought against jimcrow and anti-Semi­tism they struck out at the whole drive towards war and fascism. For these two degenerate ideologies are among the mam instruments being used by the war mon­gers to guarantee the success of their plans. More and more these ideologies of reaction are becoming the basis for gov­ernment policy. -

Thus, in Germany, the American Mili­tary Government frees lisa Koch and Nazi industrialists while it attacks the rights of true anti-Nazis. Here in Ameri­ca the Talmadges have more power than

ever and supremacists like Tom Connally are heads of committees determining our foreign polkry. The past three years has shown us that the imperialists are using anti-SemitUm and white supremacy in order to divide the people and win the white and non-Jewish workers to the war program by feeding them the sweet poi­son of supremacy.

. Naturally. Wright. O'Dwyer who, as we Communists have many times shown, have' alignad themselves with the war drive had to put up the fiercest resistance; City stu­dents ware striking at a nerve center. In estamming the strike we must conclude that the strike struggle has definitely pushed forward the fight for peace.

Similarly, when one fights to oust bigots they disrupt the drive towards the strangling of academic freedom and civil rights. At CCNY. for example, Wrtghfs plans called for an attack, not on racists, but on democrats. That was the meaning of his tirade on "Commu­nism.** Thus. Dr. Lee Lorch. a Math in­structor and outstanding scholar, is be­ing, ousted from his position for no other visible reason than that he has been a prominent fighter against segregation. When CCNY students fight bigots; they disrupt Wright's attacks against demo­crats—for one cannot oust both racists and fighters for equality. The resistance to our demands was so intense because it cut through the anti-Communist hysteria and put the spotlight on the real menaces, the bearers of fascist ideology.

The Necessity for Student Action

4: Unto recently there were many who had the naive illusion that we could get rid of racism at CCNY by rely­ing on the good graces of Wright. Spaulding and others in high position. But if nothing else did it, the strike has shown that not only win Wright and Co. not raise a finger to oust bigots but will do everything possible to protect them, even to the extent of getting police, who physically mistreated anti-racists. The strike has shown that only the students themselves can guarantee progressive gains, that only bold Mows for democracy can overcome the reactionary drive of Wright and his allies.

In this connection, many have learned that to ton tfceir fuSest effectivenesa they must stand reason the strike was so successful was that the lies of the jdminiiti Hian and the press were reidcted by the

body which refused to let itself be divided by any

The Necessity to Find Allies

5: Although many things were won as a result of the strike. Cityites could not win complete victory in the fight to oust Davis and Knickerbocker because the students of CCNY alone are not strong enough to defeat the reactionary forces that were aligned against them. What was needed and stil! is needed, is allies. Cityites must win. in the first place, the strongest fighters for progress in our country, the millions of workers who are organized in trade onions and who as a result of their continuous struggles to protect their livelihood are in a particularly fine position to under­stand our struggles. The failure to have consistently worked to win the fullest trade union support was a fundamental weakness of the strike and left the students without the active aid of the force that could have guaranteed complete victory.

We have made important steps for­ward in oar fight against racisni, imi fisa! victory depemb on our conduct from here oo in*In order to bring the struggle to a successful cottclusion we students. Com­munist and non-Communist alike, must:

I: Continue our pressure on Commis­sioner Spuukting and the Board of Higher Education, orrinr to it that the coming hearings are not new whitewashes.

tise support, from the trade tfce first place, aad also from

administration, fighting in the first place for tb* rvhtotatement of Dr. Lorch and for the protection of all students who participated in the strike from all form of retaliation.
