More than 250 students at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences have signed a petition protesting the election procedures for student representative to the University Hall investigating committee.
By its action of February 4, 1969 the Faculty voted to remove credit from ROTC courses and to withdraw Faculty membership from ROTC staff officers. To clarify more fully this Faculty's intent concerning ROTC, we petition the governing bodies to accept and implement the following recommendations:
The letter on academic freedom, unlike the petition, "...in no way reflects on the strike" according to one of its originators, Stanley Hoffmann.
"In view of the direction of Faculty action, in view of the commitment to continuing progress, and with the hope that students return to classes, we urge you to attend the Friday meeting and vote to end the strike," the petition says.
Drawn up by two history graduate students and a few undergraduates, the petition includes the signatures of Seymour M. Lipset, Bruce Chalmers, Roger Brown, Karl Deutsch, William Alfred, Jeol Porte, Leonard K. Nash '39, and Otto Eckstein.
