...against this demand, stating that students should use the strike to try to persuade people in the general community to fight against the war. He said that this demand reflected "a kind of youthful romanticism when we believe that the university is the central battie ground-what matters is Cambodia...
...CLEAR by now that President Nixon's decision to invade Cambodia has angered many of those who would otherwise have been more tolerant of the Administration's "Vietnamization" policy, and has brought them to a more vehement stand against American military presence in Southeast Asia. Under these circumstances, a university-wide strike would not be without merit in consolidating opposition to the war and forcing Nixon to re-assess his flagrant ill-explored action...

A winning antiwar strategy must be based on the conviction that the attempt to create an American sphere of influence in Vietnam has proven gravely injurious, not only to the Vietnamese, but also to the majority of Americans who have paid for or died in a war imposed...
