...Calm pervaded the court proceedings, and Judge Larkin congratulated those in the courtroom-which was jammed by more than 100 spectators, mostly local students-for the peaceful way in which they conducted themselves...
...Monday, the campus seemed to calm down. In the bright sunshine, tired young Guardsmen flirted with leggy coeds under the tall oaks and maples. Classes continued throughout the morning. But the ban against mass assemblies was still in effect, and some students decided to test it again. "We just couldn't believe they could tell us to leave," said one. "This is our campus."
