5.) The end of political repression at home, in particular the government's systematic attempts to eliminate the Black Panther Party and other political dissidents:

6.) And the building of support for a massive demonstration in Washington on May 9. to bring our opposition to the nation's capitol in unprecedented numbers.

The stage has been set, the issues clearly drawn, the need apparent. It is now time to act.

( The following editorial represents the majority opinion of the CRIMSON.)

WE JOIN IN supporting the above editorial because we feel the most urgent need is to show immediate and widespread opposition to the war in Southeast Asia.

In joining a nationwide strike call, we must be consciously looking both outward and inward. The May 9 demonstration in Washington is one in a series of actions we must pursue to bring the fallacies of President Nixon's policies home to the American public. The demonstration, however, is not the sole aim of this Strike and efforts to end the war must not end there.

While building a strike to change American opinion outside the University community, tonight's mass meeting must also examine the University's own complicity with the war machine. Harvard's acceptance of Department of Defense research grants, the military advice given by the Center for International Affairs, and the continued presence of ROTC on campus must end.

Many will support wholly the arguments of the preceding editorial. To some, the analysis of Nixon's move as a tragic misjudgment of American mood seems far too shallow: The CRIMSON in the past has urged victory for the National Liberation Front, we still do so. The immediate necessity, however, is to present a unified resistance to Mr. Nixon's War.
