...prolonged incarceration of several undergraduates for their participation in the April 30-May 1 occupation of the site of the proposed Seabrook N.H. nuclear power plant pointed to glaring void in University policy: the absence of any regulations concerning students whose academic standing in courses may be adversely affected by time spent in custody for explicitly nonviolent politically-related activities. The University presently advises such students to appear before the administrative Borad for special consideration on an individual basis but a formalized policy covering all possible instances similar to the experience of the students who occupied Seabrook should be discussed...
...underscores still another shortcoming in University regulations: namely that absence of any contingency fund that imprisoned students can draw upon should they wish to bail themselves out and lack the necessary cash. The University should also consider the establishment of such a fund for future situations similar to the Seabrook experience...
...small town of Seabrook (pop. 5,300) is invaded annually on the Memorial Day weekend by the first wave of summer vacationers eager to enjoy New Hampshire's bays and beaches. This year invasion came early to Seabrook. For five years, environmentalists and others opposed to atomic power plants have been trying to block construction by the state's Public Service Co. of two 1.15 million-kilowatt nuclear reactors near Seabrook.

Then the alliance marshaled its forces and took the offensive. As the main body of slogan-chanting demonstrators converged on the main gate of the Seabrook site, another group advanced on the area across a salt marsh. A third force arrived in boats piloted by local lobster-men-who fear that the discharge from the plant would cut their catches-and waded ashore. By the evening of the first day, the demonstrators seemed to have settled...
...this self-indulgent drek. Tonight at 8:30 pm Pete Seeger will play a benefit concert for the Clamshell Alliance, Vocations for Social Change and the B.U. Student Union, in Kresge Auditorium at MIT. Tickets are $5. The Clamshell Alliance organized the demonstration two weeks ago against the Seabrook nuclear power plant, MIT is an institution downriver, and Kresge runs a chain of five-and-dime stores. If you don't know who Pete Seeger is, you should not read this column unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. Suffice it to say you'll hear moving songs on banjo...
