...probably right. Yet the Faculty, while it punished him, seems to understand his anger. At Tuesday's special meeting, Stanley Hoffmann, professor of Government, proposed--to loud applause--a student-Faculty-Administration Committee to deal with the issues that concern the demonstrators. Yesterday, President Pusey said that he felt the Faculty had committed itself to set up such a committee. It will probe, if Hoffmann's plans are adopted, campus recruitment, the University and the war, and forms of off-campus anti-war protest...

But does President Pusey really confuse this group with the vast majority of the demonstrators who were expressing their personal anguish and frustration over the Vietnam War?

No one in a official connection with the University has ever suggested that students should not have freedom to demonstrate in an orderly fashion or otherwise to express their views on these or other matters of concern to them. Indeed they have been encouraged to do so. Objections arise only when they become so carried away by their conviction about the rightness of their cause and so impatient with civilized procedures that they seek...
However hard it is to define the boundaries, they must exist, and a major concern of the Faculty today will be to decide a policy on future demonstrations. That objective will in no way be served by attempting to compensate for the tolerance of officials who wisely allowed Wednesday's sit-in to run its course...
