Dropping a Charge. One unanswered question was how the university would discipline participants in the student uprising. S.D.S. leaders-backed by most students-were demanding a general amnesty for everyone, including the 698 who were arrested by police breaking up the siege. A university disciplinary committee recommended that criminal-trespass charges be dropped, but that the rebels be placed on probation for a year and those guilty of theft or vandalism be suspended or expelled. Backed by the trustees, Columbia President Grayson Kirk insisted that the trespass charges could not be dropped; reluctantly, he agreed to let the committee have...
...community. What I rebellious students overlook is the immutable equation that if one would contest the paternalistic supervision of the college, he must accept the legalistic restrictions and moral consequences of society. Even if Linda makes the minor point that some of the residential requirements of the college may trespass upon what she claims as her individual rights, has she proved the proposition implicit in her impertinence: that she may cohabit anywhere with a male not her spouse?

Noting that today's electronic devices have completely eliminated any need to trespass, he held that the reach of the Fourth Amendment "cannot turn upon the presence or absence of a physical intrusion...
Without Warrant. The case in point concerned a small-time Los Angeles gambler, Charles Katz, whose calls from a public phone booth had been bugged by the FBI without a warrant and with a device that had been taped to the top of the booth to avoid the trespass disability. Stewart conceded for the sake of argument that the FBI agents did not bug until they had good reason to believe that Katz was using the phone to violate federal law; then they were careful to listen only to Katz and to stop as soon as they had collected what...
