...themselves from the pulpit, from the courts, from Congress, from the universities and from the press." Some were even members of the National Renewal Alliance, the government party established after the first military takeover in March 1964 against Leftist Joao Goulart. The government last week indicated that it may disband the party. One embarrassing reason: 70 of its members were among the Congressmen who refused to indict Fellow Legislator Márcio Moreira Alves for slurs against the army.

SOME OF THE Harvard Undergraduate Council's most vociferous members, including its radical vicepresident, are calling for the HUC to disband, charging that the group is powerless and that it makes students falsely secure by appearing to take--but not actually taking--a real part in important decisions...
During two months of orderly demonstrations in Zocalo, the central plaza opposite Diaz Ordaz's mansion, the students made four demands: that the government disband the granaderos, dismiss Mexico City's police chief, release all so-called political prisoners, and revoke an antisubversion clause in the penal code.

...problems began last fall. After a long campaign aimed at making the old Radcliffe Government Association more aggressive, Cliffies finally voted late in November to disband RGA. A few weeks later, they faced a choice: they could vote for RUS, for rival RUA, or for scrapping student government altogether. The elections committee wisely suspended the rule requiring half the student body to vote in order to make the election valid. Forty-three per cent of the Cliffies voted...
