The University Disciplinary Committee (UDC) went on trial in April along with 21 black students allegedly involved in a confrontation at Triangle fra- ternity in March. An agreement between University Counsel and the accused blacks prom- ised to reduce original charges and sentences in exchange for a plea of guilty. The accused students accepted and the university accepted — to save face some said. The agreement suspended six blacks for a month and placed 15 others on disciplinary probation for two months. It infuriated most of those involved. Triangle called the lenient punishments a travesty of justice. For Members Only (FMO) claimed the accused had accepted the agreement because expulsion was the only other alternative offered them. Blacks and whites alike balked at the judiciary that had confused justice and negotia- tion. No one proved or disproved that a Triangle brother had insulted a black sister. This issue, stated as the cause for the raid, faded beneath the torrent of criticism levelled at UDC from all sides. Our quarrel is with the University— the way it handles problems of both blacks and whites, said Milt Gardner, FMO spokesman. The preliminary hearings held in closed sessions came under attack first. Sympathetic whites formed Concerned White Citizens and circulated peti- tions demanding the formation of a campus judicial body that could then try the case. FMO held a week of firesides in white housing units. On April 16, 21 black students representing the 21 who had been sen- tenced began a hunger strike they planned to continue until the sentences were revoked or lessened. Onto the plaza at Rebecca Crown they brought blankets and radios and signs that read: Feed us justice. While about 300 students participated in a candlelight march down Sheri- dan Road in the rain, while Julian Bond and Fred Hampton rallied the strik- ers, while Concerned White Students picketed, the administration re- mained silent. Students and faculty signed petitions, many organizations on campus wrote letters pleading with the university to make some statement, SDS joined with a sympathy strike and then split over the apparent failure of non-violent tactics. The administration did not support the sentences, it did not revoke the sentences. The administration remained silent. Four strikers were carried to Evanston Hospital Sunday. The rest went home Monday after 121 hungry hours. Milt Gardner said it ended because there was no reason to let these people starve any longer. m . -4 . Ih .A i 5 V
