...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.

But most of them listened impassively as police politely told them they were arrested; then they picked up their packs and boarded the waiting buses for the 25-minute ride to the National Guard armory in Portsmouth. Most of the more than 1,400 protesters arrested and charged with criminal trespass refused to post the required bail...
