...many students the position of "attorney to the University" is held by John G.S. Flym. Flym was the star of last month's University Hall trial. He defended most of the 174 arrested for criminal trespass, and is handling practically all who are appealing the charge.

He is defending King Collins against the various charges brought against him by Harvard. He is legal counsel...

Assistant Attorney General McLaren is trying mightily to dispel the dark. Since January, when he switched from lucrative private practice as a lawyer defending companies in antitrust cases, he has flailed conglomerates for evils ranging from excessive economic concentration to "human dislocation."
