...future expansion of the University which involves the elimination of existing residential housing will include provision for relocating existing tenants similar to those outlined by Dean Ebert in his April 15 statement. Moreover, the University will at the earliest feasible time undertake to replace locations in the Cambridge area and to build other housing for Cambridge residents as we can, subject to the ability to obtain adequate financing from the Federal Government or elsewhere...
...home for political reasons." Pusey flatly denied that the university planned to destroy the housing. He also noted that Harvard had recently taken account of student objections by stripping ROTC of course credit, but was prevented from abolishing it entirely by "contractual obligations" to the Government. He began his statement by challenging the rebels' sincerity: "Can anyone believe the Harvard S.D.S. demands are made seriously?"

According to Dr. Carl Waldemar Walter of Boston's famed Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, there are 1,200 "electrocutions"-deaths by electrical shock -in U.S. hospitals every year.

Miners also complain about union inertia during this year's successful effort to get a bill through the West Virginia legislature compensating them for black lung, an irreversible condition that results from inhaling coal dust. Led by three coal...
...student representatives called by President Pusey to advise him on future disorders on April 14. He has indicated to me that I may have misled many people who heard me speak at the Soldiers' Field rally the afternoon of April 14. He was referring to that part of my statement where I stated that President Pusey refused me entry to the meeting as a representative of the Association of African and Afro-American Students at Harvard-Radcliffe. This statement is true. I was speaking to the point of an administrative response (at the highest level) to the efforts...
