...clearly, with regard to students, "persuasion" is an empty word. While calm dialogue with administrators is useful, and should continue in the future, it is only naive for students to expect much to come of such exchanges--at least as long as administrators bring to them the kind of defensive, uncommunicative attitude that characterized Presidents Bok's walk through the demonstration of April 24 and his address to Quincy House seniors the following Monday. While it is impossible to predict the shape of Harvard's anti-apartheid movement in the fall, students must not acquiesce to the April decision...
...debate--and any Harvard lobbying efforts--is not over what Cottington labels "broad premises" but rather the "nuts and bolts" of the situation. Harvard's position is clear--"It is not equitable to expect Harvard to provide an environment for work without any assistance at all from the federal government," says Cottington.

But this year, faced with unused graduate school work-study money in January, administrators decided to reallocate about $250,000 to Harvard undergraduate...

Those problems, however, are not concrete questions like those involved in the curriculum reform--questions that Rosovsky does not expect he will be able to solve simply with a new version of his "yellow pages" report on undergraduate education, or by appointing task forces...
...kind of year that Harvard administrators--or student--had come to expect. It was simply not the kind of year that could support all the familiar, pat theories of student apathy, the creeping "new mood" of preprofessionalism, the old refrain that "change at Harvard always proceeds with glacial speed." It was, in fact, a year filled with relatively swift changes--in both the structure and attitudes that shape student life. The years of retrenchement, of building up scar tissue over the wounds of the last decade, seemed finally...
