more than a majority of the academic department at the College:

or schicagin in order to resolve the serious problems facing the

Since we do not have students in the Library Department, we were asked to
elect an untenured and a tenured representative. The main purpose is to gather
as broad a based representation of the majority as possible to try to bring
together the dissident student groups and the Administration.
‘Therefore » will all interested faculty members of the Library Department meet
iad 15 April 1969, at 9:30 a.m. in room (222 in Klapper to do this.

Title
Letter to Queens College Professional Staff
Description
This letter was issued to the professional staff in the Paul Klapper Library at Queens College on April 15, 1969. Three days earlier, the college's Biology Caucus proposed the creation of an inter-departmental committee composed of faculty and students from each department in the college. As the notice states, however, the library department did not have students and so it was requested they provide additional staff representation. The committee, it was hoped, was to be convened in effort to rectify the ongoing student showdown with campus administration that saw regular demonstrations on campus between March and May 1969.
