Nine days after this, when I left, American personnel were only getting to work part of the day and were having to go in armed convoys. And half of the offices hadn't reopened yet. This huge war machine--you've got no idea how big it is until you see it--this huge war effort of civilian and military personnel in Saigon had ground to a halt for over a week...

The October demonstration raised the questions of recruitment policy and University War complicity. Another disruptive demonstration would say nothing new on these complex issues and would work against their resolution in the Student-Faculty Advisory Council, sinking the content of the Dow debate in another wrangle over just and unjust punishments...
