...strongest stand on principle taken by Moos in the exchange seems to concern the superiority (presumably not genetic) of the Harvard-Radcliffe chapter to other SDS units around the country. In a letter dated February 8, she insists that the Boston-wide committee planning the convention is "headed by H-R SDS" and that while workers and students from all over the country were being allowed to feel they were involved in the leadership of the convention, "all planning is under the control of H-R SDS."

...sponsorship controversy is also responsible for the single most unusual inclusion in the collection--a 100 per cent scale model of an SDS leaflet, apparently sent by Epps to Moos (if you can imagine that) to demonstrate that advertising for the convention did not mention the Harvard chapter.

...logic, has ruled SDS "inappropriate to host a national convention" on the basis of "its demonstrated attitude toward the foundations of the university and its underlying principles of free speech and individual integrity," according to Louis Menard III, assistant to the provost of MIT. By arbitrarily depriving the MIT chapter of SDS of its freedom to speak in a public forum with other SDS chapters, the MIT administration has placed political considerations above its own belief in free speech...
