CARL STORK '81 and NATHAN HAGEN '81--"Free the Quincy House Two," someone shouted as state troopers led Stork and Hagen away from the dining hall theater. The name fit conveniently in headlines, but it didn't really match Stork and Hagen. Were they revolutionaires, they probably would have shown "The Bolivian Repression" to a crowd of seven.

But Droney is not heartless--referring on at least one occasion to Stork and Hagen as "the children," he blames Dershowitz for the entire incident. "I believe in my judgement he would put the issue before the welfare of the students," he said, explaining why he refused to meet with Dershowitz before agreeing to the arrest and the seizure of the film...
...county district attorney's office arrested Stork and Hagen on criminal charges and confiscated the print of the film. A grand jury indicted the pair four days later...
...Prosecution of the Defendant upon this Indictment is barred... in that a justice of the Superior Court department for Middlesex determined prior to the showing that the film was not obscene." Kenneth Tatarian, Hagen's attorney, argues in the motions submitted yesterday...
