...Divinity School Faculty is expected to approve creation of a student-faculty "Committee on Rights, Responsibilities, and Discipline," to enforce its resolution-substantially the same as that of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Both resolutions were adopted last June...
There is said to be a clique of Kennedy men in Cambridge, a semi-official policy group waiting out of power at the Institute. "A very small crowd of JFK operator types getting ready to move back into government," one student describes them. Whatever the proper description. May is in the group. He joined Kennedy's Academic Advisory Council in 1963 and until this summer headed a faculty seminar in the Institute of Politics on the art and practice of bureaucracy. Since the summer he has resigned as director of the student seminar program, but he remains an untitled officer...
...considerably less in touch with student politics. He still asserts that Harvard's educational-existential problems-and not R. O. T. C.-were the real cause of last spring's restlessness. Like Ford, May dealt with the Moratorium as an act of conscience instead of a political tactic. "The analogy I would use is Yom Kippur," he said. If the conscience of people in the community moves them not to take part in the University on a particular day, the Faculty ought to respect their conscientious beliefs." But May will not guarantee deference when the University itself is under protest...

One of the "tendencics," he acknowledges, is the lobbying of Embassy staff for protection of local investment. "The people who have economic interests in a country are the clientele...
...case student restlessness. May is planning a curriculum reform project over the year with advisory committees in each House and Department. He plans to circulate, "if you'll pardon the Washington bar-room term, a series of program packages." May says that past innovations, like Gen-Ed and tutorials, have not been completely successful because they were considered piece-meal. "Tutorial as it operates now bears no resemblance to tutorial as we envisioned it. There were a series of economic compromises all along the line. May proposes to look at the curriculum on a larger scale, allowing consideration of more...
