Attacking Shockley
A rally calling for the ouster of Nobel Prize-winning physicist and engineering professor William Shockley drew about 350 people to White Plaza 16 February 1972at noon, including the subject of the rally himself. Shockley sat expressionless but tight-lipped while a succession of speakers branded him a "mother-fucking racist" and an "oppressor." Later, Shockley briefly addressed the crowd, telling them that "I do not find any respect for the power of rational thinking" at the rally. The rally, sponsored by the Third World Coalition Against Shockley, heard from several minority group speakers before marching to President Lyman's office and posting a resolution on his door calling for a committee to investigate charges of racism against Shockley and "any member of the faculty or professional staff' so charged. Burn In Effigy The group of about 80 marchers
then burned Shockley in effigy outside Lyman's office before dispersing. At the White Plaza rally, former ASSU elections commissioner Alice Furumoto called Shockley "a mother-fucking racist" as he stood not more than five feet away. BSU member Chris Fleming expanded the attack to include Faculty Club chef Arturo Lionetti for his attempt to block black Harvard Club member Roy Boggs from a recent club function and also the Stanford Indian mascot. Chris Yee then handed Shockley a sign to hold that read "One Shockley Among Many." Shockley wrote on the other side "Truth . . . Concern . . . Death" and held it silently while Yee spoke. 'Color-Code' Bill Flores of MEChA and Juan Flores of Venceremos and the Faculty Political Action Group also spoke, along with others.
About 80 people then marched to Lyman's office, where Ho Kwon Ping announced: 1) that there would be a rally at 8:30 a.m. this morning to block recruiting of naval missile engineers at the Placement Center; 2) that four students arrested for disrupting Shockley's class last month would face CJP proceedings Monday; and 3) that Ho's own CJP hearing in connection with the so-called Faculty Club eat-in would begin at 1:30 p.m. in the Art Auditorium.[1]
Invading Shockley
The Campus Judicial Panel (CJP) began hearings Feb 21 1972 for four students charged with violation of the Policy on Campus Disruption for entering the class of Electrical Engineering Professor William Shockley on January 18. The four are Venceremos members Don Lee, Alice Furumoto and Gerry Foote and Third World Liberation Front member Ho Kwon Ping.[2]
