...collegium" composed of students, faculty, administrators and neighborhood groups. But other faculty members contend that the only way to ease campus antagonisms is to kick Kirk upstairs to a fund-raising post. They also urge the dismissal of criminal charges pending against some 700 protesters, arrested for criminal trespass and resisting arrest. Many of them are slated for trial in September. If such pacifying moves are not made in the next few weeks, argues one committee member, "we might just as well give up and get in some tennis...
Back to the Indians. The campaign's aim of dramatizing the plight of the poor was defeated in part by the forbearance of the Government. When the Rev. Ralph Abernathy led his flock to trespass on Capitol Hill, Washington police arrested 261 of them almost gently. Another 124 were picked up in the dying shantytown, and their belongings were meticulously catalogued for later retrieval. Even the mules, finally arriving in their 13-wagon train from Mississippi, went to pasture donated by a Washingtonian. There was an abortive riot in the Washington ghetto. But the authorities-particularly Mayor Walter Washington...
...demanding, among other things, total amnesty for violating the law.

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...
...signed by Columbia University trustees, marched on the Morningside Heights campus and dispossessed the student rebels who had occupied five buildings for nearly six days. In the inevitable melee, more than 130 people-including twelve police men-were injured; 698 people, mostly students, were arrested and charged with criminal trespass, resisting arrest or both. Although the action united hope essly confused Columbia in anger over police brutality, it also moved the campus toward order-and touched off a much needed re-examination of the university's future...
