...CRR had served Harvard well in the past: in the spring of 1970 it had expelled some students, and had contributed greatly to breaking the back of Harvard's student movement. In the fall, however, no students had stepped forward to take their places on the panel: those Houses charged with selecting students to replace the retiring members had simply failed to do so. Any ballot for CRR membership also allowed students to vote against sending any representative at all, and the majority chose this option...
...Faculty then unveiled a new plan which, in the words of the CRR's chairman, was "designed to produce students" to sit in judgment on their fellows: each House would simply select by lot a fifteen-member panel, and from this group the four student members of the CRR would be randomly selected.

We were so tired after last spring-what more could the world want from us? And the killing escalated...
...Administration announced its charges three weeks later: it had found evidence against nine students. Members of SJP brought charges against thirteen students, three of whom had already been charged by the Administration. While the CRR prepared to hear the cases, SJP announced plans for another teach...
