...course the Lexington sit-in seems mild in comparison to May day in Washington. But significantly, both demonstrations claim to belong to the class of nonviolent actions, the tactic which Gene Sharp discusses in Exploring Nonviolent Alternatives. The book is a starting-point for a systematic study of the possibilities for nonviolence in political conflicts. Although not terribly well-written, it is a provocative monograph, presenting some interesting ideas which might easily be developed and applied by activist groups in this country...
...greatest showing was in the 1953 parliamentary elections, when it won 5.8% of the total vote. Since the current wave of disturbances began in 1968, however, the M.S.I.'s stress on law-and-order has won it new respectability.

The committee's report reflects a request from Bok (as Law dean) to address the problems of outlining student representation in faculty meetings and of establishing methods for selecting student members of Law School standing committees. In discussing the first and more interesting of the two problems, the Governance Committee touched on the possibility of granting students voting privileges at faculty meetings. Most of the ten student members of the committee...
WORD CAME from Washington two weeks ago that President Nixon is working out a new "Southern strategy" in which Treasury Secretary John Connally will replace Spiro Agnew as Nixon's running mate in 1972. But the news caused only a mild wave of feigned surprise among Connally's fellow Texans. Indeed, since Connally moved into Nixon's Republican Cabinet in December, they have come to expect actions atypical of a hardened party man from their ambitious Democratic ex-governor...
