Two years agO' posters announcing a Vietnam moratorium day were torn off th~ walls of the la\f school. This year Lind­ say for Mayor posters were similarly torn down. And like two years ago, when former Dean Robert McGrath did his dirty work, this latest act of desecration was not committed by students but rather by members of the faculty and admin­ istration. It may be argued that all posters of a political nature should be barred from the walls of the law school. Yet a poster inviting students' to attend a John Marchi cocktail party hung for over a week while posters for John Lindsay were down in less than an hour. It seems that those who have done this seek to protect the student from all expressiolls of political thought save expressions of conservative political thought; Such parochialism has for too IO'ng been the mark of Ford­ ham Law School.
