HOFFMAN urged students to ignore present laws in respect to
accomplishing those things the students enjoyed, whatever, at
the time those activities might include; for example, demonstration,
freedom of sexual intercourse, smoking marijuana or indulgence
in taking “Acid". He stated, "There are two million seven
hundred laws in this f----- country, if you want to do something,
do it!" HOFFNAN also said the BPP was fantastic and great
and praised the work of the organization. We urged a contri-
bution for the BPP, and a collection was made. HOFFMAN said
the money collected should be used by the BPP for anything they
wanted, including the purchsse of guns. The audience was given
an opportunity to ask questions of HOFFMAN, or to make comments.
fhe first person chastised HOFFMAN for not observing & more
serious attitude about protesting for a social revolution, and
for HOFFMAN's not taking enough action to organize movements
against the present society. Another speaker accused HOFFMAN
of having received in the pest numerous monetary profits which he
retained for himself, rather than to use them for the work of
some of the organizations that needed them. Another speaker
stated that HOFFMAN was making a game of his organization by
having “pot parties”, and such. One speaker, che only one who
appeared with jacket and tie, who mentioned he wet a teacher,
appealed for the audience to view the world in a religious
light, rather than to partese ir. general protest. This speaker
asked any females in the auaiente to leave, due to the obscene
woras being used by HOFPMAN and some of the other speakers, for
which he was severly mocz.ed by tne generél audience. Cne “oung
female wehemently expressed ner dissffection with the teachers
suggestion. A yourg male speane.: then suggested that ie ft-wing
groups in general shvuld reect ix. a less raidicel]l tenner iA
obtaining their goals. HOFFMAN injected commects during and
after the questions and commems of tne speakars. He also
agreed to donate the total of $00, which he claimed he was
ceiving for Ais appearance, to the BPP. The meeting tnen
terminatea with no major incidents.
