...section of Business School students has elected a male representative to the Women's Student Association (WSA) for perhaps the first time in the organization's six year history, a WSA co-president said Monday...
...academic, economic, and political elites. But Professor Lipset reports data from an SDS run course showing that, when average American family income was $8,000 a year, average Harvard income was $17,000, and average $DS income was $23,000. Virtually all the students arrested in University Hall were WSA members, and of these" approximately 50 per cent attended prep school, with the largest representation from the most exclusive ones like St. Paul's," Mr. Garin's calculated reply is that "Lipset presents no overwhelming evidence that bluebloods made up any more than 50 per cent of the 'militants...

The WSA caucus met later that night to plan...
...case the '69 strike was built for very patiently. WSA caucus members and others prepared for several years. We did it then the same way Workers Power members and oteers are building the anti-racist movement on campuses today, by discussing every question with everyone we can, organizing struggles (the successful fight to keep Shockley out of Yale a week ago is an example) exposing every administration lie, organizing a mass-based political defense when the administration tries (as they're now trying at Yale) to silence us with punishments, using these very attacks to help people understand the system...
