Chicago Trial Movie
A benefit showing of the "The
Chicago Conspiracy Trial" will
be presented on Tuesday at
4 and 7 p.m. in James
Wilson Auditorium.
The film is a re-enactment of
the trial of the Chicago 7. All

conspiracy to riot during the
1968 Democratic Convention
in Chicago.
Convictions against five of
the seven defendants were
recently reversed.
Proceeds go to the
Post-Conviction Assistance
Project, a legal aid organization
for Virginia prisoners at the
University.
Admission is $1 for students
and $2 for non-students.
