"After learning of the proposed strike. I met with the Docket Committee of the Faculty Council and with the elected student members of Faculty Council subcommittees.
"It is evident that students are dismayed by the President's decision to send troops into Cambodia. Recent verbal attacks on universities have also disturbed them. All students with whom I have spoken express a desire for solidarity among students, faculty, and administration, and for constructive, effective action designed to influence a change in national policy.
"My office will help such action in any way it can.
"On Monday morning, the Faculty Council will consider the general situation and, more specifically, the problems faced by students distracted from their studies by the current international crisis. The members of the Docket Committee and I will recommend to the Council that arrangements be made to extend to those students the privilege to take make-up examinations already accorded to other students on account of special circumstances. If this recommendation is approved by the Council it should go to the full Faculty, perhaps at its meeting on Tuesday.
"Student members of the Council's subcommittees are to meet again on Monday night to review developments."
Divinity School students are meeting at noon today to discuss the strike.
