In May, UDC punished four members of SDS for disrupting a regularly scheduled class of NROTC during an anti-ROTC demonstration on Deering Meadow. The university has used academic means in defin- ing Deering Meadow as a classroom in order to re- press political dissent on the campus, Defense Counsel Barb Caulfield said. Six hundred students rallied to an SDS demonstra- tion protesting the UDC action, the largest such force Northwestern has seen. But SDS anti-ROTC polemics were overshadowed by the general indig- nation of those present that a judicial body declared inadequate had again been allowed to exercise power. The Daily pointed out that Dean Hinz acted as both a prosecutor, since his staff members had been at Deering helping identify offenders, and as a member of the judicial committee. Associated Student Government reported that no midshipmen had said their rights were violated, and that Col. Baylor Gibson said he saw no disruption on the field. The case was appealed, UDC dissolved into the Student Hearing and Appeals Board — but for the four, the sentences held. Northwestern University stands for freedom of speech, freedom of inquiry, freedom of dissent and freedom to demonstrate in peaceful fashion . . . and stands for the right of all faculty and students to pursue their legitimate goals without interfer- ence. . . . This University, therefore, will not toler- ate any attempt by any individual, group or organi- zation to disrupt the regularly scheduled activities of the University. ... if any such attempt is made to interfere with any University activity, the lead- ers and participants engaged in disruptive tactics will be held responsible and will be subject to ap- propriate legal and disciplinary action, including expulsion. — Board of Trustees

The University Disciplinary Committee (UDC) went on trial in April along with 21 black students allegedly involved in a confrontation at Triangle fra- ternity in March. An agreement between University Counsel and the accused blacks prom- ised to reduce original charges and sentences in exchange for a plea of guilty. The accused students accepted and the university accepted — to save face some said. The agreement suspended six blacks for a month and placed 15 others on disciplinary probation for two months. It infuriated most of those involved. Triangle called the lenient punishments a travesty of justice. For Members Only (FMO) claimed the accused had accepted the agreement because expulsion was the only other alternative offered them. Blacks and whites alike balked at the judiciary that had confused justice and negotia- tion. No one proved or disproved that a Triangle brother had insulted a black sister. This issue, stated as the cause for the raid, faded beneath the torrent of criticism levelled at UDC from all sides. Our quarrel is with the University— the way it handles problems of both blacks and whites, said Milt Gardner, FMO spokesman. The preliminary hearings held in closed sessions came under attack first. Sympathetic whites formed Concerned White Citizens and circulated peti- tions demanding the formation of a campus judicial body that could then try the case. FMO held a week of firesides in white housing units. On April 16, 21 black students representing the 21 who had been sen- tenced began a hunger strike they planned to continue until the sentences were revoked or lessened. Onto the plaza at Rebecca Crown they brought blankets and radios and signs that read: Feed us justice. While about 300 students participated in a candlelight march down Sheri- dan Road in the rain, while Julian Bond and Fred Hampton rallied the strik- ers, while Concerned White Students picketed, the administration re- mained silent. Students and faculty signed petitions, many organizations on campus wrote letters pleading with the university to make some statement, SDS joined with a sympathy strike and then split over the apparent failure of non-violent tactics. The administration did not support the sentences, it did not revoke the sentences. The administration remained silent. Four strikers were carried to Evanston Hospital Sunday. The rest went home Monday after 121 hungry hours. Milt Gardner said it ended because there was no reason to let these people starve any longer. m . -4 . Ih .A i 5 V
