...quibble with the University's delineation of punishments and abstract talk of exercising personal conscience miss the essential point--a disruptive protest this Friday would be a bad idea. The October demonstration raised the questions of recruitment policy and University War complicity. Another disruptive demonstration would say nothing new on these complex issues and would work against their resolution in the Student-Faculty Advisory Council, sinking the content of the Dow debate in another wrangle over just and unjust punishments...
...position where he would have to do something he does not want to do--such as step on a person or push a person--in order to move freely.

The absence of such rules was among the worst aspects of the Dow and McNamara incidents...
Wicker rushed down from New Hampshire, where he was covering the primary campaigns, to protest the outsider's appointment. Reston rushed up from Washington. Everyone now insists that resignations were never threatened, but the danger of losing Reston, Wicker and White House Correspondent Max Frankel was implicit.

By week's end the handholding operation appeared to have been successful...
What further fatal steps have already been planned we cannot know, but the senses, to some recognition that our present military acitons are unjustifiable on any grounds. Whether we blame our leaders or our own passive complicity, we are all "honorable murderers" or "serviceable villains" until we protest these actions.
