...oppressed groups. Harvard is considered a training ground for leaders who will continue, or at best reform, the present system of social organization. It is in Harvard's best interest to seek out and train promising young people from oppressed groups, for where their talents are cultivated will likely affect whether oppressed people move toward reform or destruction of this social system. Minority recruitment is in the interest of oppressed people for academic training is a valuable tool for fundamental change, reform or plain survival...
...vote on the much-publicized Core Curriculum program. The outcome of that vote will determine the basic shape of the "Harvard education" for years to come, just as the General Education proposal did after its institution in the '40s. While it is true that the new proposal will not affect the educations of anyone now in the College, students should realize that the Core will affect the Class of '83--and many subsequent classes. The fact that the Core will not affect us does not mean current undergraduates should ignore this important issue...
...many reasons, the Core proposal, as it will be presented to the Faculty, is unacceptable.

Harvard's administrators like to function in quiet, low-profile fashion, tinkering with the system but largely failing to consult the students--whom their plans will affect.

It is strangely presumptuous--almost insulting--to ask undergraduates to buy the idea that only a small number of Faculty members know enough about Harvard's problems to be able to suggest a replacement for the current system. The Faculty should...
Probably the most important change that the new assembly will affect on the Harvard-Radcliffe community is the increase in the scope of issues students will have a structured voice...
