Only in retrospect does it seem obvious that the meeting would choose the middle road, rejecting SDS's proposal for "militant action against Harvard" concerning such topics as the CRR, approving support of antiwar political candidates and yesterday's one-day moratorium, but still insisting on a longer strike and complete support for the blacks occupying Massachusetts Hall. Two conditions unique in Harvard mass meeting history may have contributed to this result: sound connections between Sanders Theatre and Lowell Lec which really worked, and a chairman--economics teaching fellow Paddy Quick--who could really apply Roberts Rules to 2000 easily...
There are a lot of embarrassed trend watchers around the country.

In the midst of planning antiwar actions, the Emergency Action Coalition found itself with a new issue Wednesday when President Bok announced Harvard's decision not to sell its 671,876 shares of Gulf Oil stock...
