...ultimate right of the South African people is self-determination. This is what we thought SASC stood for. It seems we may have been wrong. SASC appears to have its own ideology which transcends the anti-apartheid struggle. One need only look at SASC's recent collection drive for Zimbabwe refugees. By circumventing neutral international refugee organizations, which distribute supplies to all refugees without consideration of political orientation, and instead directly supplying one particular faction in an ideological struggle, SASC has made an implicit ideological evaluation of merit. Actions like this make it impossible for us to support SASC...
...April 9, a group of about 300 pro-SDS demonstrators occupied University Hall, in an effort to publicize the SDS demands. The police bust that then-President Nathan M.

Stanley Hoffmann, professor of Government, notes, "The dividing line was on attitudes toward the bust, even if one disagreed with the students--as did Michael Walzer and I, who thought the takeover stupid and silly. But calling the police was silly--it radicalized the rest of the student body--and just plain wrong...
...thought we lived in an enchanted world of great men. We found that when they [the rest of the Faculty] gave in to student demands they were in many ways worse than the national average in terms of civil courage,"--Richard E. Pipes, Baird Professor of History, a hardliner during the Harvard strike...
