...interviewing present and former employees at the Commission. Over Christmas three of the seven students returned to Washington and for twenty hours a day wrote up the conclusions reached from the summer's work. The critique, "The Consumer and The Federal Trade Commission," made headlines throughout the country upon its release, and prompted a rather lengthy rebuttal from the Commission's chairman, Paul Rand Dixon...

An Ad Board vote of January 12 rescinded this decision in light of Hopkins' participation in the sit-in, making readmission contingent upon his activities while away from the college...
