The Corporation Must Go
The Corporation as it is now constituted cannot legitimately act as the principal governing body of the University. Wednesday's demonstration revealed an Administration which was from its own point of view, protecting Harvard-but which in fact was hopelessly at odds with the Harvard community. It is clear that faculty and students must be given the determining voice in matters now decided by the Corporation.
Because the decision to bring police on campus was only an extension of the Corporation's fundamental policies a movement mainly directed at forcing President Pusey's resignation would be a mistake. The nature of the President's office, the manner by which the men who occupy it are selected and their invariably intimate relationship with the Corporation, were all forces which pressed Pusey toward his decision, while insulating him from moderating influences. Only a comprehensive reform of the Administration will guarantee that Pusey's successor will be more responsive to the feelings of his constituents.

Strike
The current student strike at Harvard should continue.
Various moderate student leaders are now calling for a "moratorium" on the strike. Such a moratorium, regardless of what its proponents say, would amount to calling off the strike entirely. The strike is the only solid asset that students interested in bringing about real changes at Harvard possess, and should not be discarded until those real changes have been won.
...At the moment, no group represents everyone who supports a democratic, non-militarist and non-expansionist University. But unity can be achieved. The strike steering committee set up by students who initially supported SDS's six demands was designed to be expanded, and the six demands can be added to and clarified. Students who find themselves for the most part in agreement with this group's demands should, as the strike proceeds, attend and participate in the meetings of the radical strike group. These are not SDS meetings, but simply meetings of people who support the radical demands.
