For AC Homecoming
Riot Leaves
None Injured
By BEN CASEY
No, we haven’t yet received
our official Berkeley status, but
ACC students were enlightened
in their routines of going to
Jclass and chapel last Wednesday.
Students were entertained by a
display of fire and flower pow
er. Dick Jester, Tom Martin,
Cynthia Mercer, and Georgette
Evans were present in the stu
dent center last week with a
display of propaganda in oppo-
• sition to that offered for con-
|Sumption by the U. S. Marines.
JjThese “hippies,” as independent
students, had to go through nor-
”mal channels to establish their
iMisplay and be declared as guests
»of the college. This was a prece-
11 dent.
j. In an interview with these in-
.dividuals, Tom Martin stated
that their purpose was, “to pre-
' sent the other side of war.” Jest-
lier stated that he was motivated
|by “Pacifism; I feel responsible
,for guilt of what my country
,does. . .denocide, suppress-
jsion, thought control, and im
perialism.” When asked what
kind of reaction they were ex
pecting, Jester replied, “ Apathet-
1 1C.”
Jester and company were in
store for a surprise. They were
I not confronted with an extreme
display of overpowering intellec
tual superiority. Instead the con
frontation came as the result of
a collection spearheaded by Tim
Overman to purchase all of the
about fifty other students in a
verbal engagement with the hip
pies, after w'hich Overman and
company persuaded the flower
people to sell them their litera
ture on how to leave the coun
try to escape the draft. Jester
and Martin refused to sell all
the material to one person, but
did consent to sell the material
to individuals under the promise
that they would read it. Such
was not the case. Immediately
following this transaction, Jester
was “surprised” to learn that
the inaterial was being collected
by Overman for a “cremation”
outside the student center.
Jester later stated that he was
extremely exhilarated at this re
sponse for the evidence of the
reactionary backlash represented
progress. He classified the
mood of the “burning group” as
that of a “fear of Communism,
with their duty to country being
represented by a blind nation
alism.”
Overman said that he asked
Martin what he would do if he.
Overman, struck him, and Over
man reported that Martin re
plied that he would hit him
back. Martin on the other hand
calls himself a pacificist, who
would in the case of another Hit
ler, “organize himself into a non
violent defense.” In response to
a question about patriotism. Jest
er had “no comment” saying
Overman to purchase all of the would be necessary for
j '^^terial available in this haven people to talk to him personal-

Day Students
Have Budget
By JOYCE COPELAND
The Day Students have a
budget. An Oct. 20 mini-meeting
of the Exeuctive Board provided
$15U for the newly con-
stitutionalized organization, A
request for $200 was refused on
the grounds that it would take too
large a hunk out of the general
fund with only a half semester of
school behind us.
The bulk of the allocation was
designated to a news letter. The
board questioned whether or not
the publication would serve its
original purpose of involving the
Day Students in campus affairs.
It was suggested that the Day
Students might consider the
possiblity of a Day Student editor
for the COLLEGIATE.
The $200 budget was cut to $165,
then to $100 and finally expanded
to the accepted total of $150.
Other business of the evening
included approving a vice-
presidential election for the
sophomore class and the request
10 the administration to place
students on the Student Life,
Commencement, and Curriculum
Committees.
planning to add plenty of color to
the event with special displays
