THOSE who went to Cambridge District Court last Friday to see a former Harvard student on his way to a state penitentiary for the offense of appearing on campus last Spring left the trial with more than a sour taste in their mouths. The horrifying experience of being beaten, kicked and truncheoned out of the courtroom building by a cadre of plain-clothesmen and uniformed police exceeded any verbal demonstration of how far the City of Cambridge or the Harvard Administration is prepared to go in the defense of archaic, ill-defined laws...
...demonstrators had forcibly held Dean May in his office to demand that the University immediately promote all "painters' helpers" to full painter status. At the time of the suspensions, the Committee on Rights and Responsibilities attached another sanction to the punishment: the students could not appear anywhere on campus during their terms of absence without receiving permission beforehand, or they would face legal prosecution. CRR members argued that this additional rule-a long-standing statute for all students required to leave Harvard-was merely a logical extension of the original punishment; if the students were truly to be excluded from...

Ryan attempted to show that the political outlook of the protest-rather than his personal presence...
...attract more young passengers. As part of this drive, Greyhound sponsored a concert tour by Rock Singer Mason Williams, part of which was made into a NET television show. The company has begun direct service linking a dozen colleges with major cities and has hired student representatives on campus to promote Greyhound. Kerrigan claims that many students see the bus as a sort of folk symbol-a metaphor for reality, a part of the new open-road mystique-and that they refer to travelers who take planes as "plastic people." In the last year, references to Greyhound or bus have...
