At approximately 4:30 a.m, they
were awakened by the
three other Haverford students
being escorted to cells. :

who were arrested, ‘‘There was a
charge to get the maypole. It failed,

without his light on, When I
tarted to run I hit a depression
in the ground and tripped, If I
hadn’t tripped I don’t think he

put me in the squad car,
‘*] think Wilke was standing near
the pole telling the others where
the cops were when he was nailed
from behind,
‘‘As for Henry Harris,’ said
Burns, ‘‘he was told by two dif-
ferent cops to get off campus, and
he was walking off when another
cop walking in the opposite
direction nabbed him ... There
were about ten to twelve cars park-
‘ed in the turnaround in. front of the
library.’’ é
Bill Wilke, the eldest of those
arrested, told of his apprehension:
‘*There was a policeman coming
towards me, He turned off his
light and pretended to run, stamp-
ingahis feet, But he didn’t run,
Then he turned toward the main
group. I shouted something like,
‘Here comes one without a light!’
‘*] was looking around when
somebody tackled me around the
chest from behind, He had me down
and the handcuffs on me before
I could do anything.
**The cop got one more,’’ added
Wilke, ‘‘and another brought a
third, We were. all put into a squad
car. About 3:35, we were trans-
ferred to another car and driven
to the station.’’

*‘At about seven o’clock they
brought us breakfast,’’ said Burns,

"two fried egg sandwiches,’’
**Then,’? Hipp continued, ‘‘they
took our fingerprints and our photo-
graphs and completed our cards,
We went back to the cells after

*‘All this was a little before
nine,’”’ Sleeper said, ‘‘We can’t be
sure, though, They took our watches
when they tesk our shoelaces and
our belts.
**About ten o’clock they took us

to see the magistrate. He was
‘completely deaf, I think.’’
The magistrate called their
names and read the charges, Burns,
Harris and Wilke were charged
with being loud and disorderly.
Hipp and Sleeper were charged
with being loud and disorderly and
having fireworks in their pos-
session,
‘We asked him to define ‘loud
and disorderly’,’’ said Hipp, ‘‘and
he ‘told us' that if we were talking
so that others could hear us that
was being loud and disorderly,
**The judge asked us what the
tradition was that had begun all
this, and we all started to answer
at once, He said that he would
listen to Wilke. When Wilke had
finished the judge thanked him,
turned to the rest of us, and said
that he supposed we all knew but
just didn’t want to tell him,’’
**The magistrate was very old
and hard of hearing,’’ according
to Burns, ‘‘He had us all lined-
up but couldn’t get our. names
straight. For his explanation of
_ the tradition Wilke got his court
fee of nine dollars revoked, The
magistrate’ was basically sym-
pathetic but unmoving.”’ :
Harris objected to the conduct
charge more than anyone else,
and asked about the possibility
of a trial, He was informed that
a trial might not be possible until
Saturday afternoon, and that he
would have to produce bail or re-
main in jail during the interim,
All five pleaded guilty: as
charged, Burns, Harris and Wilke
were fined $50 for the conduct
ge and $9 for court fee, Wilke’s
court fee being dismissed, Hipp and
Sleeper were given the same fines
with; an additional $10 fine for
possessing fireworks, The al-
ternatives to paying the fines were
five daysin jail’ for the former
three and ten days for Hipp and
Sleeper,
Burns and Harris left the station
to collect money for payment, When
they returned and paid the five
fines, the students were released,
According to Wilke, ‘‘The judge
kept saying what nice guys we
were and what a shame it was
that we had to get mixed up in this,’’

Sleeper subsequently spoke to a
lawyer, who informed him that the
actions of the police were es-
sentially unconstitutional, that the
police had made use of a local
system to trick people into con-
fessing, and that the students might
petetion although it would not be
worth it, given the comparatively
small fines,
‘It really wasn’t that much,’’
said Burns, ‘It was an unusual

The five students arrested will
have local records of their arrests,
But since they were arrests neither
for misdemeanor or felony -- the ~«
categories usually specified on ap-
plications, etc, -- the records will
have ho great significance, More-
over, the magistrate has agreed to
give each student and the College
a copy of a letter stating. that the n
arrests resulted only from a

Thirteen Class Reunions
To Highlight Alumni Day
Black boxes, DeGaulle’s France
and the contemporary argument
over the death of God will draw
the attention of alumni returning
to Haverford College Saturday for
annual Alumni Day festivities.
Several hundred graduates of
Haverford are expected back for
a day-long program which will in-
clude special alumni classes, an
awards luncheon, varsity sports
events and a reception, Visits to
regular class sessions and tours
of various buildings are also plan-
ed,

to Penn, 1-4, and LaSalle 2-3,
although they were able to defeat
the LaSalle frosh.
Steve Greif has been able to
maintain a perfect record in three
starts; while Phil Saxton has won
four out of five, including Haver-
ford’s only victory over Penn.
Captain Ken Evans has compiled
a mark of five out of seven on
the boards. Reserve power
has been supplied by three-time
winners Vern Haskell and Andy
Dunham; and the team has had a

Bill Balch, John Gregg, and Steve
Monroe. _
On Monday night Evans,
Saxton, Greif, and Balch defeated
their opponents from St, Joseph’s;
while Steve Monroe and John Gregg
picked up draws. The overall score
was 5-3, but since only five players
can compete in a chess match, the
official score was 3-1/2 - 1-1/2
in favor of the Fords.
The team has a total of 38
wins this season against 24 losses,
Evans reports that hopes are even
higher for next year’s squad since
only Saxton will be lost through
graduation, If some goodfreshmen
can be recruited, the Fords’
chances look even brighter.
