...CRIMSON is the voice of this student body, how can the premeditated slaughter of students, gathered together in non-violent demonstration, occur without raising instant editorial comment and condemnation? Is it because "it can't happen here" where students and administration work at developing a dialogue "in an atmosphere of mutual respect?" Columbia, Chicago and numerous recent events tell us that it can happen here: the Harvard community has no guaranteed immunity to the forces of reaction. Slaughter of students is a world-wide phenomenon no longer unknown within our own boundaries...
