Most of the administrators put up at least token resistance, and Epps resisted strongly. All, however, were shoved out of the building. Thomas was carried out bodily, slung over the back of a demonstrator. As Thomas was carried out, Berg grabbed his head, and Thomas's glasses fell to the floor. Other demonstrators returned them...

Nor should they be strictly departmental or even restricted to graduate students in particular academic areas. The aim should be for a mixture of students from various disciplines, drawn to the gathering-place partly because it is geographically near their usual stamping grounds but chiefly because of its congeniality...
