University policemen on duty at Yard gates last night said they had instructions to admit only reporters and freshmen with bursar's cards. Several people--especially girls--were seen climbing over the walls, and others said that police had let them in without checking their bursar's cards...
After an hour and a half of questioning on ROTC, President Pusey refused to admit, much less accept, that there could be any valid rationale for keeping ROTC which was any different from his belief that the University should cooperate fully with the military.

"I freely admit that I'm in love with that little tree," he said. "I want the storm to buffet her, but I hope she doesn't get hurt. If anybody chopped her down, I think I'd kill him." And he added: "My life is fulfilled. I can understand...
