"For several hours, from the ferry terminal to the
eighth floor of the Richmond College building in St. George,
college students, hippies and members of the Youth International
Party talked--and yelled--about morality, economies, sex and
freedon. .
"It el] began when members of an experimental class
at the college, who had invited HOFFMAN, heard that he was to
be arrested at the ferry terminal. Some 20 students went
down to the terminal about 1:00 p.m. to hustle HOFFMAN off
before he could be nabbed.
“HOFFMAN later explained that an indictment was to
be read egainst him yesterday inQhicago for his activities
during the national Democratic convention. He said he
expected to be arrested sometime yesterday.
N ; "Nearly 100 persons--students and teachers--
, gathered in a classroom to hear HOFFMAN speak, but at
| first there was only silence punctuated by the crunching
- of potato chips and sloshing of grape juice that someone
provided.
"HOFFMAN spoke about'the year of the heroic
convict' end urged the students to make their revolutionary
ideas active by disrupting courts.
"He said the NIXON administration has assumed a
policy of'heavy harassment’ in the courts* by encouraging
and making arrests of students and dissidents.
"HOFFMAN'S talk was cut short by the arrival of
several members of an ‘eternal family', hippies who share
oo ond waive in small, communal capartments on the Lower
as e.
“Basically, it was an exchange of ideas between
young people who have rebelled economically, morally,
sexually and socially against the values and idess most of
Richmond College students were studying.
"HOFFMAN pointed out that to really be involved
in changing the school ‘you have to give up the idea of
getting a degree’ and the fear of dismissal."
