'Travelling Organizers'

The report added that many disorders were
led and instigated by non-students and students
from other schools "travelling organizers and
fomenters of disruption and rebellion." It
noted that "the aims and tactics of local groups
often are patterned upon and are basically
identical with those of nationally known
militant and revolutionary organizations."

Administrators came under fire as well. "To
students who have attempted to find traditional
solutions and who have not engaged in
disorders," the committee said, "it frequently
appears that their college administrators have
succumbed to the effects of disruptions
generated by extremists...They have in too
many instances observed that the revolutionary
tactics of intimidation and violence produce
results."
