"The consequences of this action by the University could destroy this young man's live for exercising his democratic rights. What other choice is being provided to him to express his displeasure with the war?"

"The Government must really be afraid, if they are trying to pick on individuals who are not afraid to speak their mind in a peaceful and sober manner."
