Students Plan Sympathy Rally Here As Cal. Students Face Arraignment

The Harvard chapter of the Students for a Democratic Society is planning a sympathy rally Tuesday on behalf of the arrested student demonstrators at the University of California.

The rally will take place at 3 p.m. in the triangle of grass between the House area and the IAB.

Leonard K. Nash, professor of Chemistry, will preside over the rally, which will be addressed by David van Ronk, a toksinger, and Art MacEwan, a past president of the Chicago University student body.

The 814 University of California demonstrators will be arraigned today before Alameda Country courts on charges of trespassing, refusing to disperse, and resisting arrest. Legal spokesmen for the students have threatened to demand individual trials and tie up the court system for months, unless the charges are dropped.

Late last night, the University of California's 12 deans and 73 department chairmen announced that they would issue a statement, with president Clark Kerr's approval, calling for a revision of rules on the campus. Details of the statement were to be announced today.

Yesterday two Republican state legislators called for immediate investigation of last week's riots. Richard E. Barnes, San Diego representative to the California Assembly, advocated expelling every student who took part in the demonstration and firing every faculty member who supported the students.

Berkeley Assemblyman Do Mulford said that the uprising was "far more insidious than it appears on the surface." Addressing the GOP State Central Committee, he termed the demonstrations "Communist inspired."

No Proof

Michael Rossman, a leader of the Campus Free Speech Movement, denied Charges of communist infiltration. "No one has ever offered any proof of this," he claimed. "The FSM includes the entire spectrum of the political groups from Goldwater Republicans to young Democrats. Every time there's any significant student protest of any kind, the same stale claim comes up," Rossman said.

Supporting the students, the Berkeley chapter of the American Association of University Professors demanded that University Chancellor Edward Strong be discharged. Clark Kerr, president of the Berkeley campus, was also criticized for his conduct during the demonstrations.

In identical editorials, the student newspapers of the Berkeley, Los Angles and Davis Campuses of the University said that Kerr had talked enough to the press and the community, and that he should consult instead with students who are "the last straw afloat for a sinking campus."

FSM leaders have vowed to boycott and picket classes today and tomorrow.
