The transcript of the speech follows the •••••••• Mr. Kinoy stated, from his experiences as a lawyer in movement cases, that he believes that in the next four to six months we are going to see in this country a major attempt at political repression, that the decision to use this repression has already been made at the highest levels of government in Washington, and that we must prepare for repression by knowing the nature and compexity of the legal and repressive machin­ ery to be used. • • • • • • The signal for the beginning of this tigation.

Tlle BOP refused to be rail­ roaded, so Summerskill immediately sus­ pended Poland and Blair Partridge, the editor, from school and suspended the pub­ lication. Partridge and Poland went to the ACLU which threatened legalaction againstSum­ merskill. The pOSition of the lawyers was that there was legal precedent that upheld the right of Summerskill to suspend stu­ dents who are involved in a violent activity on the campus, meaning the black students, but the precedent was against the suspen­ sions of Partridge and Poland before a hearing. Summerskill capitulated and ad­ mitted that he had "acted precipitious­ ly" and reinstated Partridge and Poland and then ordered a hearing - this time a trial then the sentence. MAPS

In the meantime, the group around Open Process and SDS formed a joint organization, Movement against Political Suspensions. (fhe name came from a Berkeley group that had formed around the suspensions of students for Stop the Draft Week activities.
