of closing fdown the university for the rest of theyear. There is no need to suspend the entire
university's functions once many of the writingand canvassing' efforts are fully organized andrunning smoothly. The proced; of comunicatingwith the members of. the community and_convincing them to oppose the war will be acontinuing process and it- will require a largedegree of commitment. To reason that closingdown the university will give people thiscommitment is wrong - the commitment is deeper.than that.
When classes finally are resumed The Techencourages a continuance of the already votedupon policy of maximum flexibility. in dealingwith academic matters. Faculty members must
-allow students to continue to work in oppositionto the war withott the fear of academic penalty.This matter is best left up to the individualprofessor and student with flexibility being 'theprime consideration.
We call for the Faculty, inl its Sunday afternoonmeeting to continue the suspension of formalclassei until later in the week, when it can meetagain to consider the issue. Perhaps then it will bemore appropriate to resume formal classes - to doso Sunday would destroy the momentum of-whatis still a nation-wide movement.
Summary.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~. .
The action of the MIT Faculty on Tuesdaydeserves the support of the -entire community and.the faculty should be applauded forits sensiblehandling of the university strike.
As a result of the formal suspension of-classesduring this past week many members of thecommunity. have become actively involved inactivities directed towards ending the war. Severhlthousand telegrams have been sent toCongressmen, and as a result of the largetelegramming efforts Senator Brooke ofMassachusetts has sponsored a resolution callingfor immediate withdrawal from Cambodia. Thenumber of people canvassing and working with theVietnam Moratorium Committee yesterday wasover one thousand and the number is growing eachday. The number of other efforts from within thecommunity is continually increasing.
' The Tech feels it essential that these effortscontinue, not just for the duration of the strike
but on through the rest of the Spring and theSummer and into the Fall. Because it is so crucialthat our efforts be organized and focused towardsa common goal and because efforts are still neededto organize people. and gain committments for-continued canvassing, we 'fee it inappropriate toresume formal classes at this time.

the Student Center, where about100 were present. Despite anappeal from a student at KentState University, they decided totake action against "racist, im-perialist, ROTC on this cam-pus." Enraged by this motion,the PL delegation walked out,leaving factions of the other twoorganizations to march acrossMass. Ave. shouting "ROTCmust go," "Smash ROTC," and"On strike."
Other reportsElsewhere at the Institute, the
School of Architecture and Plan-ning has voted to allow students,staff, and employees to workagainst the war for the rest ofthe term and--yet still receivecredit for courses. Term papersand projects will be optional.
In other strike developments,900 Wellesley students voted tostrike for three demands center-ing on Cambodia-Vietnam, sup-port for the Panthers, andabolition of ROTC. Wellesleypresident Ruth Adams told the'faculty that "the strike is recog-nized by the Academic Councilas a legitimate political act."
Laurance Hall at Harvard wasgutted by fire yesterday morn-ing. The abandoned building hadbeen used as a free university byHarvard students, and was occu-pied by "street people." Fourfiremen were injured when awall collapsed.
tantine Simonides. Wiesner saidhat the administration "doeslot act unilaterally" with thekrmy in dealing with ROTC, butnust be guided by faculty
students "in the belief that thedecision should not have beenmade."
Besides winning tenure forWatson, the effort won a perma-nent change in the tenure deci-sion procedures of the section.In the future, Watson .said, thejunior faculty will be consulted,"serious student input will besought," and the published workof the candidate will be read byeveryone involved. He addedthat the evaluation would bemade on the basis of criteria onwhich "people agree before-hand." Not just publication, butservice to the community wouldbe among the criteria.
The original reason for thedenial of tenure to Watson was,he said, "lack of serious publica-tion." He had published nobooks, and not enough articles.In explanation, Watson admittedthat he was a "slow publisher,"and noted that his involvementin political actions had delayedhis writings. The war, though,was "not an excuse," said Wat-son, noting also that he 'hadchanged fields.
The new decision was basedon what he termed "new evi-dence" brought forward by theletters which presented a newperspective on things that werealready known about him. Wat-son called it ironic that theoriginal decision had been "un-professional" because of its nar-rOW criteria.
Watson reasserted his state-ment about the original decision,saying that he "didn't think itwas political," although he add-ed that, "If it were political,you'd never know." He believedthat there have been cases inwhich tenure had been deniedfor political reasons.
By Lee GiguereProfessor William Watson of
the H umanities Departmentattributed the reversal of thedecision not to grant him tenureto a letter-writing campaigndirected at Provost JeromeWeisner.
Watson had been told lastNovember that he would notreceive tenure, but was notifiedof the new decision duringspring ,vacation.
The importance of the rever-sal, he said, was that it was thefirst time a collective effort hadsucceeded in changing a deci-sion. The campaign was initiatedby junior faculty members in thehistory section of Course XXIand by some of Watson's former.

RCseeGA DECIDES TO
SUPPORT CLASSCANCELLATIONBy Bruce Peetz
In an unusually short meetingTuesday night, the General As-sembly supported the suspensionof classes by the faculty.
The motion, proposed byBob Hunter '73, was passed by a45-5 vote after almost no discus-sion. The motion also suggestedthat the faculty extend the sus-pension until it is established"by community meeting" thatthe strike has concluded.
A slightly smaller margin,~0-14, passed a resolution callingon MIT to allow employees toparticipate in the strike. It pro-posed that the Institute giveemployees "time off with pay"in addition to altering workingschedules enabling staff 'to be-come involved in the strikeactivities.
The Assembly as "the electedrepresentatives of the undergrad-uate students" sent telegrams tothe Senate and President Nixoncalling for the "immediate with-drawal of American troops."
Since the recent quorumchange, the General Assemblyhas been plagued by attendanceproblems.

The complete text of theBerchtold report on academicpolicy, along with a summaryof department plans for therest of the term, appear onthe back page.
. Vice President Albert Hillsupported Johnson, noting that"the faculty has no responsibil-ity for meeting the payroll, sothey shouldn't attempt to exer-cise authority." And chemistryhead John Ross condemned the"disparity" notion that facultyget all the time they want whileworkers remained bound to theirjobs: if faculty take time off,they should pay.
Baltimore returned that al-though 'the faculty and Johnsonprofessed "rnaximum flexibil-ity," certain supervisors were"leaning" on their workers. Af-ter Baltimore's motion was de-feated (50-650), Johnson pro-mised to investigate these allega-tions of unfair treatment.
Parliamentary issuesBesides the regular business,
several significant parliamentaryissues developed. Early in themeeting, Professor Martin Diskinasked that all students, staff,alumni, and employees begranted speaking privileges.Needing a 3/5 vote, his motionwas defeated.
Later, the question of ad-journment was considered. Balti-more charged that some facultymembers made moves to adjournfor no apparent reason, with the.result that debate on other pro-posals was blocked.
And during Johnson's discus-sion of Institute finances and theemployee issue, one facultymember rose on a point oforder. He quoted from Robert'sRules of Order the passages out-lining protocol for debate by achairman. Johnson replied thathe' only· spoke when he felt animportant fact needed emphasiz-ing, and the faculty, with pro-longed applause, agreed.

By Alex MakowskiAgreeing with faculty chkir-
inan Ted Mlartin that "academic*activities cannot continue in nor-r mal fashion," the faculty yester-day voted far-reaching changesin policy for the remainder ofthe term.
The core of the changed pro-: cedures is reflected g[i the newgrading plans. Studdhts doing"satisfactory" work before May4 are eligible for a "pass" grade,with full academic credit,whether or not they continuework in the course.
