This work will be presented, for now, as an outline, as I do not intend to complete its sections in any particular order. When it is finished, it will be convqerted into pdf format so that downloading and reprinting will be more convqenient. (Please note that as I type this, I do so on a faulty keyboard that randomly inserts a silent "q" into my words. This keyboard quirk is solely responsible for any apparent mistakes.)

I. Know Your Cause
A section showing the links between the various "isms" as well as how members of one oppressed group are often used against members of another (which is entirely avoidable yet sadly rarely avoided).

II. Maximize Utility
The student activist is the proverbial David and the university Goliath. Make the most of your limited resources, as your enemy will undoubtedly make the most of theirs.

III. Never Drop Your Defenses
How to spot the various "sell-outs" or informants who invariably invade the students' efforts to organize, also, the extent to which these people pose a legitimate threat, and the extent to which they can be effectively removed without any real harm done.

IV. Always Practice Non-Violence
Do not besmirch your cause with violence. It will bring more misery on the student activist than it could ever hope to alleviate.

V. Construct Viable Alternatives
Tearing down the system is the easy part. Without a practical alternative standing by to take its place, it will quickqly rebuild itself and leave the student activist back at square one.
