Mitcbell's speech was drafted during a policy consultation with President Nixon and F.B.I. Director J. Edgar Hoover. In demanding a halt to the campus turmoil, the Attorney General featuring said he spoke in the role of the Nation's senior law enforcement officer.

Mitchell conceded that the only Federal jurisdiction in student uprisings is against traveling militants who cross state lines "with intent to incite riots."

On March 12-13, over 500 students occupied the University library to protest war research, military and corporate recruitment, and alle ged repression of political dissent. On March 26, Scott Rickard, Vice-President of Student Affairs, filed petitions against 65 students for allejged violation of University regulations during the demonstration. The 65 students came before the Polity Judiciary on April 24. At 8:35, the Chemistry Lecture Hall, where the trial was held, was filled, eveery seat taken, with students and faculty standing and sitting in eveery corner of the room. The defendants entered to prolonged applaluse and rhythmic hand clapping, with their left arms raised and thteir hands clenched into fists.

X Statesman - From the above information, and Page realizing that most University trustees across the nation are like the ones above, it is no small surprise to us when -Educational Testing Service at Princeton comes up with a study showing that the average trustee "fav- ors a hierachiacal system in which decisions are made at the top and passed down." That's the type of de- cision-making which goes on here. After our recruitment demonstrations this year, there came a memorandum to Dr. Toll -from - Chancellor Gould saying that the University shouldn't "discriminate selectively or capriciously against the U.S. Government, the State of New York, corporations, and busi- ness concerns." No wonder. Our Trus- tees are part of the minority which are profiting off American imperialism, and they don't want things to change. They're scared when we demonstrate and that's why they're using student courts, administrative courts, civil courts, and the cops in an attempt to S Ieakfpk Cob See lar sL crush our movement.

Liet- me just review the testimony. The defense has spoken about the nature of U.S. imperialism and how Universi- ties function to maintain it. We've shown the business connections of the Board of Trustees and how recruit- ment and research go on on this campus. The defense has also talked about repression and violence in America.

Did we have a choice to take action? Did the people who thought through have a choice of whether to act against the system and the University that supports it? Who is to be repri- manded, those who sat in or those who sat by while murder, exploitation, and repression go on? Who is guilty; those who protest or those who make their money from the people who sweat and earn 45 cents a day in Third world nations? That's thet crucial question. The point is that we did not have a choice whether to take action or not if we are going to be true to ourselves. I think action was necessary. I think that it has been necessary in the past. I think it will be necessary in the future. As Steve pointed out in the initial argument, the Nuremburg trial said that one has the right to go against laws in his country when they are immoral, when they support immoral activities.

What we have is a University which is run by people for their own financial gain. What we have is a University that is prosecuting us for protesting against a system of inhumanity.
