HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
As participants in Friday's demonstration, we would like to point out an inaccuracy in the CRIMSON article of Saturday, February 24. According to the article the demonstration was intended to protest the University's involvement with the war in Vietnam. However, this purpose was only one of three. The other two points were immediate withdrawal of troops from Vietnam, and for an end to the draft for an unjust war. These points were important because they focused the demonstration not only on the University, but also on other war issues which directly affect students. The demonstration, the result of a month of discussions and planning, is not the end of a limited and local attempt to end recruitment, but one step in a continuing anti-war effort.
