...DRIVE to change ROTC's status in the University began in the Fall of '68 when countless committees began to debate the merits of academically-credited Reserve Officers Training Corps units. In early October the Harvard Undergraduate Council (HUC) proposed a plan for curtailing ROTC's privileges. The plan recommended the removal of academic credit from all ROTC courses. The resolution had no formal influence, so the faculty-less HUC began to work toward placing the issue on the Faculty docket. Edward T. Wilcox, director of General Education, later offered to introduce the HUC resolution to the Faculty...
...Although HUC members wanted to secure a spot for their resolution on the docket, primarily as an effort to establish a precedent of regular Faculty consideration of similar student-initiated resolutions, they also wanted to form a united front of student government groups against a credited ROTC program. The HUC appeared before the Student Faculty Advisory Committee (SFAC), and that appearance prompted two other groups, the Council for Educational Policy (CEP) and the Harvard Radcliffe Policy Committee (HRPC), to debate the ROTC issue...
While the HRPC and HUC recommendations were similar in their conclusions, they attacked ROTC from different premises. The HUC claimed that ROTC courses did not meet Harvard's standard academic criteria: that their content was flabby. HRPC contended that ROTC courses were externally controlled. Since Harvard lacked the same institutional control of ROTC courses that it demanded of all other academic courses, and since ROTC courses had pre-professional orientations aimed at producing officers, the HRPC argued that ROTC courses should be removed from the liberal arts curriculum at Harvard...
...Harvard Undergraduate Council (HUC) ran the drive until the Council dissolved two years ago. Amid the confusion of shifting student government responsibilities from the HUC to the CHUL, no organization took charge of the fund raising...
...HAVE we undergraduates been so far powerless to protect and pursue our interests? Because we haven't organized ourselves. Student councils, like the HUC and RUS, and student-Faculty committees like the present ones, have always depended on either Faculty or administration for their existence, and have had no real student constituency. The Administration and Faculty are highly organized, closely allied in many ways, and firmly in control of the students. Because students have never tried to deal with them except as individuals, in fragmented groups and factions, through dependent committees, or in ad hoc mass movements, they have invariably...
