...safe to say that most students at Harvard deplore the apartheid policy of South African, and I applaud those who engage in peaceful protest against that policy. It is a grave mistake, however, to label the two most recent protests as peaceful there have been allegations that the police at the Conservative Club meeting used executive force to clear a way for the diplomat as he as like Lowell Houses I consider these allegations to come from a reliable source I was not however, present, and so will not comment on that them I will comment on that part...
...appeal of drugs, beyond the immediate physical sensation, is that they give one a license to be irresponsible. One is part of a spectacle, and it is permitted to break things, to scream, and to say "I love you" without consequence.

If you give police unfettered rights, I assure you that crime will drop. The price will be a garrison state. As a policeman, I think that is a price we cannot afford...
...part of an activist program to work for change in South Africa. Divestiture should be accompanied by vigorous efforts to lobby Congress, the Reagan Administration, and individual corporations for economic and diplomatic sanctions against South Africa, and to grant educational and economic support directly to Blacks and coloreds. We applaud the recent actions by Trans-Africa and the Free South Africa movement for its pickets and civil disobedience outside the South African embassy and consulates and hope that more join this cause...
