MINORITY VOICE

To the Editors of The CRIMSON:

In the wake of the votes taken at the Business School, we would like the clarify an important points Out of the approximately 900 persons voting at the meeting at the Warson Rink, there were about 250 individuals who, although voting, are not wither candidates for degrees nor Faculty.

These cordial gentlemen are members of three programs which run for approximately 13 week which are designed as "cram courses" for business and labor leaders.

For some reason, these older members of the business community were accorded full voting status with the students and the Faculty of the Business School. And they voted, as might be suspected, in a conservative block which totally distorts the true feeling of those who voted in that assembly.

Although we who voted to support the teaching fellows resolution and the suspension of classes at the Business School were in the minority, it was nothing like the minority which the vote results would seem to indicate. We are working with the community, both in Cambridge and in Roxbury; we are preparing to go out into the world and try to put some ideals into business. We are concerned, and we are in support of the student strike at Harvard. Laurence O. McKinney '66, HBS '69   H. Garrett Thornburg, jr. HBS '70   Members, The Business School Minority
