Demanding the rehiring of a black dining hall worker, the students took over a university personnel office at 2:30 p.m. They told the four Yale officials inside that they would not allow them to leave. The protestors did allow one official, an elderly man, to leave after several hours. They forcibly detained the remaining three...
...three are reported to have decided a week ago not to campaign for a one, two, three vote from the blacks. Whether the severely split black neighborhoods will do this without such prodding seems doubtful. Moreover, Coates or Solomons, in order to win, must either grab one of the four traditional CCA seats (an unlikely proposition considering the competition) or win as a fifth CCA revolution in City politics. So, at the moment, it is likely that Cambridge's blacks will fall just short of re-gaining representation on the council...
Then there was the Democratic candidate's most recent bid for the Negro vote. Many New Yorkers had not known what to make of his earlier declaration before a Harlem audience that he was "as black as you are"; but the ambiguity wore sharp with his claim that he knew Harlem's problems from having worked there twenty years in his father's shoe business. Harlem residents, for some reason, look not fondly on the white entrepreneurs who have for so long enjoyed such a strong presence in the ghetto. Left to simmer by itself, this attitude tends...
...door-to-door canvassing effort, for example, will probably reach a maxi-much of about 90,000 voters, well short of half its original objective. Community service projects, launched with considerable hooplah, have barely been heard of since. The voter registration drive was not very effective, and the black vote, heavily for Lindsay, will probably not be very heavy as a whole. Perhaps no conventional political campaign-with slogans and posters and literature-can really have great impact where the candidate's public identity is so well-set to begin with. Only the candidate himself can have impact, coupled with...
...official non-voice of student body. They seem either unwilling or incapable of providing the leadership which an increasingly activist and even "liberal"-if one can use that word-M. B. A. student faction is demanding. Apparently unwilling to concede that more and more M. B. A. students (especially black and chicano students) are determined to put an end to the Business School's splendid and serene isolation from the larger University community and from larger societal issues in general, the conservative faction of the Student Association is engaged in a gallant- but, in the last analysis-futile effort...
