who last week occupied Singleton Abbey, the college's main administration building, have come under a massive attack from the University authorities.
The occupation was decided on by the Students" Union in protest against the victimisation of five philosophy students.
The Association of University Teachers (AUT), which represents ome of the lecturing staff and the college management has called for strike action against the students.
OCCUPIED
Last week the Students" Union Action Forum occupied the South Arts Building, which contains the philosophy department. This was in response to the dispuled examination results where five out of seven philosophy students were failed when they took their exams. The AUT then threatened to strike because academic life was being disrupted.
The right wing leaders of the AUT are now campaigning amongst the other unions on campus urging that they also take strike action.
NAME…...
Ret Weekly 14 November 1974 sharp rehulf to the scabbing tactics of the "learned" AUT members. It has rejected the AUT call with a proper trade union response and 15 supporting the Students Union.
The college authorities are busily stoking up a backlash against the students. They are refusing to reregister students who have not yet signed up. They also are insisting that students cannot get a pint in the bar unless they produce theit new card.
CHANCE
The NUS Week of Action gives students nationally a great chance to show solidarity with the Swansea students. Messages of support and donations should he rushed to the Students" Union (Occupation Fund)
Emergency motions should also be sent to NUS Conference meeting in Margate next week.
The Regional Students Association is also holding a Rally in Swansea on grants. Speakers from the occupation will address the rally and a battle is under way to get the demonstration re-routed to the Swansca campus.
