...long series of turbulent demonstrations beginning in 1965, which were tolerated by most of the University community, leaves a tragic sense of inevitability of the final escalation. Packing the lobby of Hamilton Hall--even the somewhat ambiguous obstruction of Dean Coleman's liberty--was scarcely different from the earlier confrontation in John Jay Hall or the sit-in following the CIA demonstration. SAS's decision to evict the whites and barricade the doors in a demonstration of black student power--one of the key turning points--was a response to an occasion thrust upon the black students. With each successive...
...third issue, the discipline of the six IDA demonstrators, had somewhat greater substance. Although most students would probably have agreed that the disruptive manner of conducting SDS demonstrations was becoming intolerable, many students were antagonized by the manner in which the "no indoor demonstration," rule was promulgated and the discipline was administered...

Hardin, Royce Shaw, John Heyburn, and Max Schweizer have all been troubled with intestinal flu this week. Sophomore Dave Pottetti is still suffering from blood-blistered feet and junior Keith Colburn has been slowed so far with tendon problems. But he may be forced to play in his slot at the front of the pack today. Erik Roth, Tom Spengler, and Howie Foye can be expected to run their usual steady races...
