...need but of the advantages of further and faster movement. Coercive pressure of the kind of represented by the sit-in is most likely to backfire, for there is quite a difference between ordinary pressure, and an actual threat. Two, that Faculty meetings which deal with issues of deep concern to students should be open is a view well worth exploring. But it is not a simple question, and even if it were, to impose the solution by the fait accompli of a sit-in decided by one group of students is not a method acceptable to nay self-respecting...
There, archiac or not, the Harvard process of decision had shown itself responsible to student concern over ROTC. It had taken the Dow incident to get Student-Faculty Council established and a new procedure on recruitment adopted. This time, the docket of the Faulty consisted of resolutions which al reflected student opinions or resulted from student-faculty discussions. Supporters of the SDS position had freely argued their case with SFAC, and a similar resolution was before the Faculty. This time, it could not be said that University passivity had forced the students to act; it was the move of some...

What worried me most last year was the prospect of me most last year was the prospect of disciplinary retribution meted out in ignorance of a wide moral upsurge. What worries me most today is the state of mind of a group of students who, because some forms...
...evidently does not have any policy for farmers, but his most important decisions will probably be on emergency supplies for undernourished families in the Deep South, and relations with huge agricultural complexes like the California grape companies and their employees. His book, Overcoming World Hunger, could indicate a general concern for problems like these. In the Post Office Winton Blount will probably lend added support to the recent business advisory committee recommendations to turn the Post Office into a public corporation...
