...CASE OF THE PALC and Afro takeover of Massachusetts Hall and their accompanying demands--that Harvard divest itself of Gulf, that it reinvest the money in the Cambridge community, and that the protestors be granted amnesty--is equally endangered by prevailing rhetoric. The Corporation's begrudging and long-overdo response to PALC's requests has been needlessly antagonistic and its statement that it is "not morally wrong" to invest in companies which deal in "repressive and in humane" actions is itself morally repulsive.

This reinvestment would increase the capital stock, raise the GNP and trickle benefits down to the rest of the nation...
...year business and provide temporary jobs for scores of students. Together, the three student unions have a fulltime payroll of 1,000, including the hotel managers, who are picked by the elected student councils. Since the wholly student-owned enterprises pay no income tax, they can reinvest heavily in new ventures, chiefly additional low-cost student housing...
