ASKING the University to specify how it will punish various forms of demonstration this Friday is asking the Administration to settle on a harsher, less flexible treatment of potential demonstrators than it intends. Those contemplating a violation of the Dow recruiter's civil liberties want to know just how much they are putting on the line by breaking the law. The legal analogy is a dubious one for the relationship between students and administrators; but even if it applies, the University, like a judge, should not be forced to pass sentence before it knows the details of the specific case...
...protest this Friday would be a bad idea. The October demonstration raised the questions of recruitment policy and University War complicity.

The single most constructive result of the Mallinckrodt demonstration was the creation of the Student-Faculty Advisory Council. Here was a Committee which could bridge the apparent gaps between students, Faculty, and the administration, and prevent a recurrence of this unhappy chapter in Harvard's history...
...sole formulation to come out of the Council regarding such protests--a request that this visit from Dow be postponed--was rejected by the Faculty last week. In its concern for asserting the principle of free recruitment, the Faculty took action which may precipitate another battle between the College and many of those students who are agonized by the war in Vietnam...

The petition "is not aimed at getting the maximum number of signatures," Harris said, since it advocates withdrawal as the solution to the Vietnam war, when a "weaker statement" could have collected more names. Harris said he had about 200 signatures in his room, and he had no idea how many others were collected...
