...S.D.S. radicals seem willing to pay the price of their convictions. Unlike Yale Chaplain William Sloane Coffin Jr., a 43-year-old rebel who is willing to go to jail to dramatize his opposition to the draft and the Viet Nam war, Columbia's student strike leaders are demanding, among other things, total amnesty for violating the law. There is the irony that neither Mark Rudd nor most of the other Columbia S.D.S. leaders were even in occupied buildings during the battle with police three weeks ago.

The recent burst of student street fights apparently helped his cause, adding some 2% to the vote...
...girl comes up to me with some paper towels. Take these, she says, so you can wipe the vaseline off your face when you're in jail. I haven't got vaseline on my face. I am thinking that vaseline is a big petroleum interest, probably makes napalm, and anyway it's too greasy. I hear over the walky-talky that Hamilton has been busted and that the sundial people are moving to Low and Fayer-weather to obstruct the police. I put vaseline on my face. I also put vaseline on my hands and arms and legs above...
