His predecessors had called in the police on occasion, but during the height of the strike Hayakawa deployed as many as 600 police on campus or on call nearby. "The revolutionaries said they would destroy the college," he explained in testimony before a Senate subcommittee. "I said they would not.

...literature is unbelievable. And the underground newspapers with their filthy names and titles and want ads. You see, there's no love in this sort of thing. We're just buying sex like you would buy a piece of meat. Eventually this decadence will destroy us, and that's why I'm asking people to commit themselves to a Christ who's teaching love and understanding...
