Dow Declines

The Dow representatives, invited
to speak before the assemblage,
declined to do so. In

the placement office in Minor
Hall they conducted interviews
with some of the 23 students who
signed up for interviews yesterday
and today.

When questioned by reporters
they were polite, but curt. The
two representatives, Thomas
Jones and Bronson Harris, had
been the subject of demonstrations
at other colleges and were
used to the sort of treatment
they received yesterday.

The demonstration lasted from
1:30 to 3:30, as scheduled. Near
the end of the demonstration the
chant, "We want Dow to speak,"
arose.
