8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
While some students are taking their exams Friday morning the "Red and Black Armies" will struggle together in a game of "Capture the Flag" in and around Harvard Yard.
The game-announced by the November Action Coalition (NAC)-will pit against each other a team carrying the NLF flag and one carrying the Harvard flag.
NAC rescheduled the game-originally set for Thursday-to coincide with Friday's CRR hearings for students charged in the picketing of University Hall. NAC literature will remind the participants that the boundaries of the action include the CFIA, Shannon Hall, the University Gazette Office, the 10th floor of Holyoke Center (where the hearings will be in progress) and President Pusey's house.
NAC has called for participants to assemble in front of University Hall, where they will be divided randomly into two teams.
Other rules announced by NAC include the following:
A 100-foot wide "no man's land" will extend across the Yard from Harvard Hall through University Hall. Players in this area will be immune to "capture" by opposing forces. However, if they pass through the zone into enemy territory, they can be "captured" by enemy players-who will tap them on the shoulder and take them to "jail," The "jails" are planned for the areas in front of Memorial Hall and Holyoke Center.
"Jailed" will be able to escape if they are "tapped" by a "free" player of their own team or if they drag a member of the opposing team into the "jail" area.
The object of the game will be to seize the opposing team's flag and to take it to a point which NAC will reveal when the flag is captured.
In addition to the "black" and "red" teams, plans for the game include an "other team." Players from each side will, according to NAC, consider the members of the "other team" as enemies. A NAC spokesman said last night that the "other team" includes "deans, members of the CRR, senior tutors, photographers, SDS mis-leaders, and Steve Kelman."
