200 Attend Rally Against Bombing

More than 200 people attended yesterday's Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) rally condemning the bombing of the CFIA and urging that the University prosecute those responsible for the bombing.

At the close of the rally, Douglas H. Cooper, a graduate student and member of YAF, announced that 125 signatures had been collected for a telegram to be sent to President Pusey.

The telegram, which did not mention its YAF affiliation, condemned the bombing for "its senseless destruction and for its threat to academic freedom."

Laszlo Pasztor '73, President of YAF and one of the organizers of the rally, said that a telegram would emphasize the message more than a petition.

Speakers from YAF denounced the use of violence and stated that the University should not allow radical organ-

izations to continue to use University facilities.

Cooper said, "Unless we preserve a peaceful legal and rational framework to work in, we will not be able to produce meaningful change."

Applause for the speakers was enough to drown out the one or two hecklers in the crowd.

Cooper also called for speakers from the crowd to condemn the bombing. About 15 came up to the platform and five were allowed to speak.

Harvard-Radcliffe SDS issued a leaf-let yesterday morning saying, "Mass action, not mad bombing, will abolish the OFIA." At a two-hour meeting last night, approximately 35 SDS members decided to organize a research project to expose the "imperialist" policies of the CFIA.

The Leverett House Committee claimed to have gathered 1500 signatures on a petition yesterday afternoon condemning the bombing as "an unjustified act of violence," The petition is still circulating.
