“ We, as black human beings will not be recorded in the pages of history as an ununified race of people, exterminated by the guns of submission and hate.
'A generation of inactivity has given today's black students (a) responsibility of informing and uniting our fellow classmates so that we can fight to remove the injustices directed against us as black people.
'CAST YOUR VOTE FOR STUDENT POWER!!! BOYCOTT REGISTRATION SEPTEMBER 23 AND FOR AS LONG AS THE PUPPET ADMINISTRATION REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS OUR UNIVERSITY! ”

“ When we look at the present proceeding we learn that there was notice and that there were hearings. The charge was circulating the leaflet, which clearly was a First Amendment right. As we said in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School Dist., 393 U.S. 503, 506, 89 S.Ct. 733, 736, 21 L.Ed.2d 731:
'First Amendment rights, applied in light of the special characteristics of the school environment, are available to teachers and students. It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate. ”

“ Alabama State Board of Education, 294 F.2d 150, 157: ' (No) one can question that the right to remain at the college in which the plaintiffs were students in good standing is an interest of extremely great value.' Judge Rives went on to hold that such 'privilege' or 'right' could not be taken away without notice and hearing. Id., at 158. Thus the dissent of Judge Clark in Steier v. New York State Education Comm'r, 2 Cir., 271 F.2d 13, 22-23, became the law. See Wright, The Constitution on the Campus, 22 Vand.L.Rev. ”
