...findings and recommendations it might be well to stress our belief that the attitudes of black students with respect to the University are by no means wholly dissimilar from those of other students. Black students feel alienated from, even neglected within, Harvard; but so, as we know, do many whites. Black students seek and expect "relevance" from their Harvard education, but obviously they are not alone, at this time, in voicing such an expectation. However, the black experience is not simply a mode of the general student experience; it is different, and not merely in degree of intensity, from that...
...students feel that there are areas in which they have experience and information that could not possibly be available to any white member of the Faculty. Lack of Faculty "expertise" ought not be a reason for discouraging students' work in such areas; rather, instructors should provide, at a minimum, appropriate professional guidance--bibliographical and methodological assistance--for those students who wish to pursue investigations in areas where no "expert" is presently available. Where black students have such special expertise, the Faculty should be encouraged to avail themselves of these resources...

There were the cheerful letters from Aerospace Studies in the summer before your freshman year, and at registration there was a display with military things on a clean white table-cloth, with a tidy-looking officer standing nearby. Later, looking for your Math 21 section in Shannon Hall you might have wandered along one of the pale green corridors lined with recruiting posters and framed prints of bombers and medals. And trudging up to your room one fall afternoon, you happened to meet the guy across the hall...
Secret Vote. To bring some sense out of this anarchy, the White Paper would empower the government to 1) order a union to hold a secret vote when a major strike is threatened, 2) delay walkouts by ordering a 28-day "conciliation pause" and 3) impose settlements in jurisdictional disputes that union leaders are unable to resolve among themselves. Trade unionists who defy a government order would be subject to fines. On the other hand, the paper turned down the plea of management groups that all labor contracts should be made legally binding...
