No Incidents Mar Club 100 Picket Protest

With close to thirty men and women walking quietly and carrying placards in a long lazy, oval, five and a quarter hours of picketing the Club 100 ended almost without incident at 12:45 o'clock this morning.

The demonstration, called for on Tuesday evening by the University-wide Committee on Discrimination, was supported by Radcliffe and Cambridge groups and was judged by observers to have been more than moderately successful.

Patronage Reduced

Aimed especially at non-University patrons of the Club, it was reported that the picketing, under the direction of Geoffrey White '48, had definitely reduced the normal weekday percentage of such customers.

Several groups of students, predominently from the final clubs, passed through the line and into the nightclub, throwing jeers and taunts at the pickets moving slowly at five foot intervals along the sidewalk. There were on fiare-ups and no violence throughout the night.

7 Policemen on Hand

Seven Cambridge policemen were detailed to keep to peace at the Club, but most of their work consisted in ejecting inebriated by-standers from positions in the line which they insisted on taking up.

The line was set up shortly after 7:30 o'clock, following a briefing meeting for all pickets and a distribution of "End Discrimination" signs. It was decided to call it a night at 12:45 o'clock, when only 15 minutes of business remained to the Club.
