Anti-ROTC Protestors Blame Administration

The students whose bursar's cards were collected at Thursday's anti-ROTC sit-in adopted a resolution last night criticizing the administration for "using disciplinary action as a political weapon."

The group, which met in Lehman Hall, included in its statement an amendment urging all those who sat in to use the resolution as their only defense when they meet with their senior tutor or dean to determine their punishment.

The students at the meeting decided to base the resolution on their opposition to ROTC rather than on what punishment they should receive. "The administration," one said, "always skirts an issue by talking about procedure instead of substance."

"The fact that Dean Ford finds our action 'the most serious offense of its kind in my memory at Harvard' indicates . . . a general fear of SDS and other radical movements at Harvard," the resolution stated. "But we will continue to raise the political issues in fighting for the abolition of ROTC at Harvard," the statement added.

The group will meet again on Sunday night, although the place is not yet known.
