"Everything happens so fast and changes soj quickly it is hard to keep it all up." One of Antioch's most publicized innovations in education is its3 freshmen program. Under the sys- tem no demands for class attend- ance are placed upon the new student. Except for language courses, classes are unstructured discussion groups open to all mem- bers of the campus. No Attendance When the program began several years ago, freshmen did not attend the lectures at all, much to the anger of the professors and to the disappointment of those who planned the curricula. As a result, professors are now asked to "eval- uate" students who choose to at- tend their lecture series. No exams as such are given, however, and there are no grades. With the exception of language courses, the first year program contains no topics which can be considered as prerequisites for future studies. Lecture topics in- clude "Technistructure and the New Industrial State" or -Jesus and Social Revolution". Classes at Antioch may meet on a hilltop in the famous Glen Helen forestapreserve next to the campus or in a bus. Many times they don't Ld;I.:LUl G.7 120. 1R1111 uUt,.u 111 Y aa. Va+uaaa.

Police were called and arrested 40 of the persons, mostly students, while 10 remained seated in the office. Alleges Clubbing Russel Block, Chairman of "End the War in Vietnam," claimed that the police clubbed the remaining 10. George Walker, '66, received a concussion and possible inner ear damage Block said. Moreover he; claimed that medical attention was denied Walker for five hours. Faculty members bailed the stu- dents out by raising $9,000 after banks had closed. The university is considering disciplinary action. Dow was also picketed at the University of Connecticut. About JJC Upholds Vehicle Rules Joint Judiciary Council decided last night to uphold, at least temporarily, the University's re- quirements for registration of vehicles owned or operated by students and for the proper dis- play of registration stickers. The decision stated that "when, in our minds, there is no reason- able doubt that the state's ; i ij 4 . l locations. Using federal funds, the $3.6 million project would provide low- income housing for 200 needy families on 20 acres of scattered sites throughout the city. Each site would house from 15 to 40 families in one of two-story apart- ment dwellings. The project was originally plan- ned as six building locations hous- ing all 200 families. Public press-I ure, however, has been so strong- ly opposed to that density that the Housing Commission settled on more scattered sites and smaller buildings. According to commis- sioner Flora L. Cherot this will require the city to ask for more federal support. Thirty persons packed the com- mission's conference room last night to voice objections to the program.
