the local working class militants and to draw students into activity in support of the workers struggle locally: Finally it should he linked to the overall practical and theoretical criticism of the bourgeois university.
The specific forms of action that can be taken locally will depend on the nature of the tie-ups that can be made between the university and the ruling class on this issue, on the links that can be made with the local workers movement and on the relationship of forces generaily inside the university. In one place it may be possible to win students union support for occupying the Industrial Relations department, hokling a teach-in on the class struggle, getting local workers to explain industrial relations as they experience them in their factories. In other places it may only he possible to make general propaganda on this issue. What is important however is that we operate within the kind of strategic framework outlined.
The organisational form for this work should be committees in solidarity with the trade unions. It would be a mistaice to organise the work simply in committees within the various departments which could easily turn into organs for purely contemplative theoretical criticism: while at the same time relying solely on the socialist society organisation may not attract the widest measure of support and won't have the same sharp cutting edge as Trade Union Solidarily Action Committees.
