...successful, however, the organizations will have to be allowed the nearly complete freedom they enjoy during the winter. The Dean's office might require that they sketch their programs in advance, but the School should in no way try to restrict their operations. During the past three years Harvard has refused to permit only one program, and that was because it would have led to religious discrimination. Only one speaker, Pete Seeger, has been barred in recent years, and that ill-considered action was reversed after heavy protest. Last spring the University even permitted one of its rooms...

When the boycott is imposed there must be a clear statement of its purposes and the conditions under which it will be lifted. The reversal of apartheid must include repealing all repressive police legislation. South Africa must abolish the pass laws and the measures dependent on them which restrict the movement, residence, employment, and education of nonwhites. It must allow the functioning of the political movements of nonwhites and must be committed to the gradual extension of political rights to all citizens on the basis of merit not race...
