Absolved Guardsmen
The Ohio grand jury, in decisions in the last
two weeks, absolved National Guardsmen from
blame in the killing of four Kent State students
during riots on the campus last spring. The jury
then indicted 25 students and faculty members
for rioting.
Kevin Mannix, President of the Student
Council, explained to the Council members that
the campaign was to call for a federal grand
jury investigation of the local indictments and
to raise money for the defense of the 25
indicted students and faculty members at Kent
State.
He added that the campaign was being
organized by both the student and faculty
senates at the Ohio school.
