When SDS commands extensive latent support in the student body it is enabled to take successful militant action. In fact the more latent support exists the less militant the action need be. On the other hand, to take militant action in a context of latent non-support (shading into latent hostility) is clearly foolish. Thus, until a determined effort has been made to correct the misconception on the part of most students that the Faculty is near meeting the student demands, it would seem to be a mistake for SDS to make any seriously disruptive moves.

But Czechoslovak Art Historian Jiři Padrta suggests that Kolaf's word-cluttered collages have contributed more to a "latent freedom of writing" than his poems ever did.
