EXCUSE us if we're a bit confused. We are only students, after all. Normally, though, Harvard upperclassmen register on the day classes start. We should have 10 days of shopping period to choose classes. Student organizations are usually allowed to recruit freshmen at registration. Once, Harvard students could boast about the simplicity and painlessness of the starting-the-year process as compared to other schools...
Still, that doesn't explain why student organizations couldn't set up tables and recruit freshmen. That was a decision made by Dean of Students Archie Epps III--who forgot to notify student groups of the change--because they wanted to give "a new flair and new form of presentation" to the tabling.

...platitudes to concrete and substantive actions. The administration should accept the decision of its support staff and bargain with their union in good faith. Harvard should divest of all its South Africa-affiliated stock--ridding itself, once and for all, of this unethical sore.

Harvard must also act to bring such groups into positions of leadership and responsibility within the administration itself. By setting a forceful example of equality and integration, Harvard would not only be true to its own ethical code, but also guide society...
