on disorders
By SHARON WEINER
A bill aimed at curtailing campus disorders passed the
State Senate yesterday by an overwhelming majority of 25-4
and is expected to win approval in the House.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. L. Harvey Lodge (R-Water-
ford), provides that "any person who shall disrupt classroom
procedure, unlawfully occupy any building or parts of build-
ing, or intimidate any teacher or school official on the prop-
erty of any state institution of secondary or higher education
is guilty of a misdemeanor."
It further provides that any person who persists in such
action after "adequate notice" will be guilty of a misde-
meanor carrying a penalty of - ---- -
