Heyns dealt deftly with the newest problem by conceding trifles but refusing to give on principles. He yielded on the military recruiting issue, decided that recruiters should either seek student sponsorship to operate in the student-run union building or work through the campus placement service like other employers. But he refused to deal with nonstudents at all, shunned any discussions in which Non-Student Mario Savio, who tends bar at a near-campus student hangout when not agitating on campus, would take part, if only as a silent observer...
Town v. Gown. Heyns also refused to seek dismissal of charges against the seven nonstudents and four students arrested in the disorder, insisting: "We have no intention of accepting a pattern of granting general immunity to all violators of student rules merely because the situation gets confused or passions are aroused." And he said he could not promise that police would never again be used on campus, because this "would only serve to escalate every incident into a crisis.

He may not have completely made up his mind, but it is to his advantage to have many other aspiring candidates believing that he is not running should he decide to campaign for re-election...
...voters who provided Collins with the mayoralty nomination in 1959, and 1963 are primarily lace curtain or wall-to-wall Irish, and they seek candidates whose conduct and demeanor flatter their own image. Should Collins be unwilling to run again they will probably give the nomination to someone else who closely fits their stereotype, like former Presidential Assistant Kenneth P. O. Donnell...
