Members of the coalition enacted a "trial" of President Bok and Andrew F. Brimmer, chairman of the DuBois Institute Advisory Board, at Adams House dining hall last night, for their failure to implement the student proposals.

In rejecting the demands, Brimmer also distinguished between the Afro-American Studies Department, which he said had student participation written into its charter, and the DuBois Institute, with its commitment to graduate study.
