Harvard scientists have organized a Science Action Coordinating Committee (SACC) in opposition to militaristic use of science and technology, James Shapiro, a research fellow in bacteriology, revealed yesterday.
The group, consisting of Faculty members and graduate students in the sciences, was formed in response to the planned March 4 research stoppage at M.I.T., but will deal with larger issues, Shapiro said. "We must face the problem of where science is being channelled in this country," he said.
