...last year for sitting in at Mallinckrodt would have been a disastrous error. It is hard to understand how even eight of the fifteen voting members of the Ad Board could have backed this proposal; the only rationale given for drastically increasing a student's punishment because of his past record in political demonstrations was a filmsy analogy to criminal law. And a piece of harsh disciplinary action backed by neither reason or precedent is just the sort of spark that could set off a paralyzing protest at Harvard...
When I look back over the past year and a half, there are two or three notable examples of this trend. The establishment of the SFAC came about as a result of Dow. Yet I can remember reading past minutes of the HUC meetings and listening to the discussions of that council during the fall of last year where a tremendous concern was demonstrated for Harvard's relationship to society.

A sudden move over the last lap carried him past Bob Zieminski, but fell short of Herb Germann by less than a foot. Both were timed in 2:09.3, bettering the previous record of 2:10.4 held jointly by Colburn and the legendary George Burns...
