Mutuality. For all the upbeat motions elsewhere, Richard Nixon's central foreign policy concern remained the swift extrication of the U.S. from Viet Nam on honorable terms. As the Paris negotiations limp on with no settlement in sight, Nixon's thinking has focused increasingly on scaling down the American presence in Viet Nam. Even a limited withdrawal could ease domestic political pressure, perhaps reduce casualties and serve as a peace initiative. But how to take the first step safely...
...WOULD BE to assume, because the Faculty has no intention of joining the picket lines, that its meeting this afternoon can not have any fruitful consequences. Most students continue to believe they share large areas of common concern with their teachers, and the Faculty's general posture at its Tuesday meeting served to reinforce this belief. Those students who see the Faculty as Harvard's one potentially responsive body ought to be encouraged by its explicit refusal to use last week's disruptions as an excuse for burying substantive issues. By actually coming to grips with some of those issues...
...contrast, the housing and expansion plank, as approved Monday at Soldiers' Field, is simply too vague to constitute an undue constraint as the Faculty finally proceeds to overturn Harvard's long-established policy of non-concern in such matters. The University restructuring plank is divided into two levels of objectives, but it again comes down to a single, wholly defensible proposition (one far more important than the number of students or Faculty on a reconstituted Corporation), mainly that ultimate authority over this University not be vested in a secretive and unrepresentative organization. The final substantive demand, that relating to Afro...
...would like to dissent from the prevailing view of recent events here. The group which occupied University Hall acted with disregard for the consent and sentiments of the rest of the university community, and showed little or no concern for the "civility" of their disobedience, as evidenced by the ejection of the Deans and by the rifling of files and the publication of their contents. The immediate removal of the group was justified; moreover, the character of the seizure overrode any obligation the administration might otherwise have had to make the civility of the removal their paramount concern...
...Even if the Corporation were to make a complete about face on its policies at this very moment, there would be no guarantee that these policies would not be resumed again tomorrow. Experience has shown that we can no longer have any faith in the judgement, responsibility, and human concern of the Corporation. The three-hundred-year tradition of mutual respect and trust within the University has been thoroughly destroyed for us by the duplicity and contempt shown to us in the matter of the Afro-American Studies Program, and by the unnecessary, reprehensible violence initiated by the Administration...
