Group Raises Money For Kent 25 Defense

A group of students and tutors in North House has begun collecting money to help pay the legal defenses of the 25 Kent State students indicted for their participation in last spring's anti-war demonstrations in which four students were killed by National Guardsmen.

The group, calling itself the ad hoc committee to support Kent State Legal Defense, has already collected $350 from North House residents and hopes to collect considerably more throughout the Harvard community.
