Although it has been charged that the strikers are increasing the violence to try to bring more police on the campus and thus build more student support for the strike, Jim Soliz, a leader of the Mexican-American Student Confederation, told a strike meeting, "The issue is not 'pigs off campus.'

Cohen made his comments in a weekend speech to the alumni luncheon of the New York Uni- versity Graduate School of Social Work. He received the school's 1969 Alumni Achievement Award. Cohen also said the nation's "most depressing problem, is rac- ial inequality and discrimination." The anti-poverty program of the Office of Economic Oppor- tunity "ought to be broadened and extended," he said. "It has had about as much impact in re- ducing poverty in the past three years as bailing out an ocean liner with a teaspoon." Cohen, who left office when President Nixon was inaugurated, called for raising social security, benefits, and "radical changes" In the welfare system, including na- tional standards of eligibility of payments, and an increase of $1- billion this year in federal educa- tion aid.
