...compared with any other people at any other time in the world's history or for that matter any other people at the present time in the world's history, we are enjoying in this country more abundant material benefits than can be found elsewhere at any time. Not everyone is fully provided with the necessities of food, clothing, and shelter. Not everyone has employment. But taking the country as a whole and taking the rest of the world as a whole, the percentage of Americans who are suffering real deprivation is small indeed as compared with other peoples...
...This is the third in a series of editorials discussing Dean's Office and Council proposals for rules relating to undergraduate activities. Tuesday's editorial described the tremendous increase that has taken place since the thirties in Dean's Office regulation of student activities and found four major causes for this increase: 1) the cold war and consequent political tensions, discussed in yesterday's editorial, 2) growing concern over organizational bad debts, and 3) Increased sensitiveness about public relations, discussed today, 4) a trend towards closer Harvard-Radcliffe relations which the Dean's Office considers extremely unfortunate, to be taken...

Another instance of limitation of student freedom because of cold war tensions can be found in the case of political rallies. Before the war it was very easy for a Harvard group to hold a rally, and right in the Yard if it wished. Today the Yard is out of bounds for rallies, and considerable Dean's Office and Student Council red tape must be sliced through to hold a rally anywhere else on Harvard property. Part of the Dean's objection to use of the Yard comes from fear of disturbing classes, but this cannot be a serious objection...
