She is cold and resistant to Campbell's obvious sexual interest in her until Campbell is safely dead, at which point she strokes his hair, thus demonstrating her felling for him which she probably felt for some time but didn't deem proper to acknowledge. When she arrives at the two in which her father was killed, a hanging is in progress.

If an informed elite (or even an informed majority) is allowed to forbid students to join ROTC, what logical or moral grounds are there to keep another elite, or another majority, of opposite political views from purging another organization whose action they deem treasonable or immoral. Harvard, which during the 1950's fought for the preservation of an open society by resisting McCarthyite attempts to gag academic freedom, could now set a precedent for other universities more intent on banning SDS than ROTC. The SDS resolution would also deny these students who wish...
