(“19” is cut-off on copy). Page 2 “Baro Bites Again” The Daily Barometer editor is criticized for the firing of one of a star journalist.

Page 3 “[Faded word] Sucks” The Administrative Proposal is summarized and called worthless, largely because of the ineffectiveness of the Human Rights Commission. “Dee Andros Forms Coalition” After reporting that Black Student Unions throughout Washington have racially discriminated against black OSU athletes, OSU is criticized for creating a hostile environment for its black students.

[Note: there is no mention of a coalition formed by Dee Andros in this article.] Page 4 “Andros Coalition (cont’d.)” The critique of OSU continues. “Student Leaders Suck” Claims of mismanagement and improper preparation are used against Dave Zier, the student body president.

The mothers stand Clutching their children, and Stare searching the skies numbly For the inventions of scholars.” Page 8 “HAVE A HEART, DEE” While agreeing with the sentiment that improvements were made after the human rights controversy, the Scab Sheet claims that such improvements are only due to the black student population decreasing by half. Dee Andros is encouraged to “grow up” and grow a heart. “ROTC SUCKS” The Scab Sheet labels the military as obsolete and questions its existence at OSU. The ROTC program is accused of conditioning its students into mindless killers, labeling leadership as merely the ability to follow orders.
