OMPLAINANT
- . “Her injuries include two black eyes, bruises
and marks where she was held while being punched,
four stitches to close the wound in her forehead,
separation of the cartilage from the bone of her
nose, 6mall wounds where her glasses had been
smashed to bits against her face, and glass
particles in her right eye. She staggered to a
room on the next floor, still bleeding copiously,
where staff members gave her assistance and summoned
the school doctor and nurse.. After being worked over
for fifteen or twenty mirtes, she was able to make a
_ telephone call to me, to ,ét to the police station in
Hayward, and thereafter to the Kaiser Hospital for ~-
further treatment.
*The college administration has directed Hayward
police to stay off campus and has kept the campus
security force, made up largely of untrained older
men, small and under orders not to aid staff or
faculty members attacked as my wife was. The campus
is ano man's land, effectively beyond the control
of civil authority.
"I should point out that both my wife and I are.
liberal Democrats, who have worked for minority rights ‘
for thirty years. The attack was unprovoked, without
' prelude, irrational, savage, nihilistic, and on a
purely racist ground. The entire course of action
was clearly a breach of her civil rights, contrary
to both the Public Accomodations Act and the Civil
Rights Act. I ask that you take action immediately,
before the .campus is overwhelmed. The time is Germany
934, . .
"Respectfully yours, : -
