Description
Article describing the trial of six FSU and five FAMU students convicted of disturbing the peace and unlawful assembly. Discusses the judge's lecture of the students, blaming them for being overly idealistic and using a minority to intimidate the majority, before blaming their professors for indoctrinating them into a mindset that clashed with reality. 17-year-old FSU sophomore Jeff Poland is noted for several times attempting to sit with the FAMU defendants, flaunting segregation laws, as well as arguing with the judge multiple times throughout the trial to protest the city's laws and the judge's condemnation of his professors. States the bonds for most FSU students were paid for by FSU professors. Courtroom sketches included on Page 1. (Story Printed on Page 1 and 4)
