However, we may find ourselves torn in the near future weighing the pros and cons of wha t is good or bad for our particular College and the whole student body. diminished,~~nd It might have been wise for SASS to reali ze what had already been achieved in such a short p e riod of time in a real sense of justice and relieving us for the moment of th e burden of their grievance s . Lif e shows us that in dealing with huma n b ei ngs you can never carry things to the abs olute. Some gra dual important g a ins are worth more than carrying things ·to the point of b e ing self-defeat.ing. They should, therefore, help us in our work, rather than making an impossible task for a group of men with a sense of justice and good will. I deplore besides, that I have been made aware for the first. time of the s epa ration of black and white and I h a ve seen th e gap gTOW larger among good people I know, due to the recent events of the militants in educational institutions. The id eals of a Qua ker college keeping wi thin its true Chris tian spirit and its democ r atic b e liefs is to se e and deal with its students as equals , regardless of color. The differe nce is r ather ma de regarding the potential of prospec ·ti ve students for Swarthmore, and that s '.iv-hy the students of SASS were chosen and not others. When they were accepted at our College they all knew they were entering a v e ry fin e college , and. there were no grievances then. This very fine coll ege is the product of ideals and hard work of many group s of people who devoted their energy , intelligence, and the best in th em to achieve it. It i s not. and c annot b e perfect, but we can strive towa rds it, as we should strive towa rds bettering ourselves, looking ahead and making all p e rtine nt change s r but n ever discarding th e r ea l values which h ave b ee n r are , . and will b e wo rth whil e k eep ing.

We will n e v e r know the truth, y e t, as a huma n b e i ng , it still crosses my mind wheth er th e h ea r tfe lt conflict , �the manyfold f~sponsibilities it entailed, the stress and burdens put upon him by ours~lves, could not hav~ been a 60ntributing factor to his untimely death. In my mind this is not a breach of moraii ty. '. "Violence" was not used by SASS. But they expressed their · right of taking "action" again if they deemed it necessary, which is very disconcerting since I cannot understand how any student or anybody can have such a right to ventilate their grievances. Those words ring in my ears as "belligerant" in tone. Besides, we all pave gri~vances of one. sort or another and belong to minority groups; I have yet to find a majority group in USA. Shouldn '"c ',N e, therefore, rather think in terms of the underprivileged of our great family than in terms of black and white? Shouldn't we now and then pause to count our blessings and the progress made, meditate on further progress for the good of all, rather than stress grievances of a group, demands, numbers, deadlines, threats, actions, etc.? There are few colleges that have cared so much about their students as Swarthmore College. The sit-ins, even if they are carried orderly, disrupt the normal functions of the college and are out of order. The student who applies to Swarthmore College and is accepted by Swarthmore College should know that they are not allowed. Also, they should know that we are against being moved or governed by "demands" or "threats". There are thousands of colleges in the country to choose from if they don't agree in some aspects of our college. If they disrupt i"cs normal funct,ions they should know that they can be asked to leave, and if they do not, they could be deprived of their diploma. In no way should force be used. We should have enough foresight and imagina-tion to be ahead of the students and not lagging behind in their just "demands" for an evolution and not a revolution of the college. As for the students of the recent sit-in, I t~ust they will use t_heir good judgment, maturity and goodness in them not to take action again, continue their studies peacefully if they want to get their degrees, and to help all of us in our work and common concerns. We will stand firm to our "co~itment to justice" and our "commitment. to academic excellence" - for all. May many small colleges see us as a gooq example, and may we save them many troubles so that their energies may be focused on further development of their institution and its just needs.

However, we may find ourselves torn in the near future weighing the pros and cons of wha t is good or bad for our particular College and the whole student body. diminished,~~nd It might have been wise for SASS to reali ze what had already been achieved in such a short p e riod of time in a real sense of justice and relieving us for the moment of th e burden of their grievance s . Lif e shows us that in dealing with huma n b ei ngs you can never carry things to the abs olute. Some gra dual important g a ins are worth more than carrying things ·to the point of b e ing self-defeat.ing. They should, therefore, help us in our work, rather than making an impossible task for a group of men with a sense of justice and good will. I deplore besides, that I have been made aware for the first. time of the s epa ration of black and white and I h a ve seen th e gap gTOW larger among good people I know, due to the recent events of the militants in educational institutions. The id eals of a Qua ker college keeping wi thin its true Chris tian spirit and its democ r atic b e liefs is to se e and deal with its students as equals , regardless of color. The differe nce is r ather ma de regarding the potential of prospec ·ti ve students for Swarthmore, and that s '.iv-hy the students of SASS were chosen and not others. When they were accepted at our College they all knew they were entering a v e ry fin e college , and. there were no grievances then. This very fine coll ege is the product of ideals and hard work of many group s of people who devoted their energy , intelligence, and the best in th em to achieve it. It i s not. and c annot b e perfect, but we can strive towa rds it, as we should strive towa rds bettering ourselves, looking ahead and making all p e rtine nt change s r but n ever discarding th e r ea l values which h ave b ee n r are , . and will b e wo rth whil e k eep ing. A sma ll private college has the right to pu rs ue its ideal to prese rv e its academic e xce llence and the changes should b e takep gradua lly, ~ith car~fbl, unpa ssionate, inte lligent study, fr ee of pres s ur es and threa ts, and taking into conside ration · how it will af fec t not only th e academic sta nding bu·t the stude nt body tak en as a whol e . I Regarding our good President 's ·tragic d e ath, I agree we cannot bl ame SAS S, and I c erta inl y do not bl ame th em , but stude nts should . b e aware of the respons ibility in creat ing the . circums t ances prev ious to hi s d ea th. We will n e v e r know the truth, y e t, as a huma n b e i ng , it still crosses my mind wheth er th e h ea r tfe lt conflict , �the manyfold f~sponsibilities it entailed, the stress and burdens put upon him by ours~lves, could not hav~ been a 60ntributing factor to his untimely death. In my mind this is not a breach of moraii ty. '. "Violence" was not used by SASS. But they expressed their · right of taking "action" again if they deemed it necessary, which is very disconcerting since I cannot understand how any student or anybody can have such a right to ventilate their grievances. Those words ring in my ears as "belligerant" in tone. Besides, we all pave gri~vances of one. sort or another and belong to minority groups; I have yet to find a majority group in USA. Shouldn '"c ',N e, therefore, rather think in terms of the underprivileged of our great family than in terms of black and white? Shouldn't we now and then pause to count our blessings and the progress made, meditate on further progress for the good of all, rather than stress grievances of a group, demands, numbers, deadlines, threats, actions, etc.? There are few colleges that have cared so much about their students as Swarthmore College. The sit-ins, even if they are carried orderly, disrupt the normal functions of the college and are out of order. The student who applies to Swarthmore College and is accepted by Swarthmore College should know that they are not allowed. Also, they should know that we are against being moved or governed by "demands" or "threats". There are thousands of colleges in the country to choose from if they don't agree in some aspects of our college. If they disrupt i"cs normal funct,ions they should know that they can be asked to leave, and if they do not, they could be deprived of their diploma. In no way should force be used. We should have enough foresight and imagina-tion to be ahead of the students and not lagging behind in their just "demands" for an evolution and not a revolution of the college. As for the students of the recent sit-in, I t~ust they will use t_heir good judgment, maturity and goodness in them not to take action again, continue their studies peacefully if they want to get their degrees, and to help all of us in our work and common concerns. We will stand firm to our "co~itment to justice" and our "commitment. to academic excellence" - for all. May many small colleges see us as a gooq example, and may we save them many troubles so that their energies may be focused on further development of their institution and its just needs.
