Nine students--three each from the HUC, the HRPC, and the SFAC--will attend the meeting and join in the discussion. Dean Ford, who asked the three groups to name representatives last month, said that the students will have "the same prerogatives as Faculty members," except for the right to vote, at the meeting...
...black man in the white man's world. "The agenda, though," he says, "has changed so greatly from ten years ago." Farmer is trying to catch up, but the new militancy has led many a former integrationist into a theoretical muddle.

But they will never consider seriously a viewpoint that challenges the function of ROTC, anymore than they will give SFAC real power. Rather, they will use their committees to take up a lot of time and eventually...
