This is why it's necessary to be so nimble in mass organizing -- one of the reasons for creating "front groups." "Fronts" don't have to be deceptive. In the Spring of '69 at ISU we (SDS) created a group called SAW (Students Against War) for just two weeks. Why. Threre was a student who wanted to work with us and who was a good organizer, but he just didn't want to be called SDS! Everyone knew SAW & SDS were the same, but somehow it made a difference.
