...professors who signed yesterday's statement protesting the incident in Hunt Hall prefaced their declaration by saying "in the absence of a full and reliable account of what occurred there, we have no desire to pass judgment upon the incident."

They run in groups of two, the first lighting the oil in the belly of the pot and the second adjusting the huge flames that spout from the smokestacks...
