Rent Demonstrators Fined and Sentenced

Thirty persons, including Harvard and Radcliffe students, were fined or sentenced yesterday for participation in a Sept. 11 demonstration at the Cambridge Elections office.

Claudio S. Buchwald '71 was sentenced for 30 days and fined $100 on charges of assault and battery for allegedly striking a policeman during the demonstration, a protest at the removal of a rent controlquestion from the November election ballot.

Marcia R. Livingston '71 was fined $100 on a charge of disturbing the peace, but was not sentenced for alleged unlawful assembly. Stuart R. Soloway '70, dismissed from Harvard after the University Hall seizure, and John Lazarus '69 were both sentenced to 30 days on charges of disturbing the peace and unlawful assembly.

Everyone fined or sentenced today will appeal, according to Judith Mahar, one of the thirty defendants.
