...Kidnaping a man for seven hours," as in the recent sit-in against a recruiter from the Dow Chemical Company, is no way to present the aims of the Negro or the Left to the typical American, Kilson said...
...wish that Dow had come here as George Lincoln Rockwell did last year, as an unwelcome guest practicing free speech. Unfortunately our problem now is not one of maintaining free speech but of establishing free communication. This difference, between the hideous procedural "free speech" of Naked Lunch style con-men (do I describe the deans as well the Dowists?) recruiting researchers and salesmen for the adhesive medicine that burns whole bodies, families, and countries, and the apophantic, the real, I-thou, perhaps loving communication between brave persons, largely absent in Cambridge, Mass. as in most places I've seen, perhaps...
Among the many reactions I have to the very complex issues raised by the Dow sit-in is the total incongruity between the meaning and form of the student protest on the one hand, and the severity and narrowness of the University administration's proposed disciplinary action on the other.

A man was detained in his room for several hours (where presumably he would have remained for the better part of the day anyway, had he been interviewing job applicants), in conscious, communal violation of University regulations. The demonstration...
...essentially non-violent act taken by a significant segment of the University community out of this sense of moral outrage simply cannot and should not be dealt with in narrow and punitive legalistic terms.

The University administration's attempt to isolate and divide the protestors is most ignoble. Those who share this moral outrage--faculty and students alike--should not allow...
...women in all parts of the world, are morally outraged by the war in Vietnam. Students in many universities, including most recently Harvard, have expressed this sense of outrage by protesting the use of university facilities for job recruitment by representatives of such war-supporting companies as Dow Chemical Corporation, chief supplier of napalm. By their actions they have forced the issue of university attitudes toward campus recruitment by the armed forces and by such companies as Dow Chemical, and we as faculty members wish to join them in urging that universities refuse the use of their facilities for recruitment...
