fine Of SIS Saturday for abducting her
pet and turning 1t over to the Welles-

pertinent work. Mrs. Bent said:
II am almost a nervous wreck over

being thoroughly exhausted. Mr.. Bent
and / have talked over the matter of
suing the college. but have decided to
let the matter drop as far as we ~
personally concerned, and let Chief of
Police Brown do as he sees fit.''
The fact that Squires' fine was paid
by an official of Wellesley leads to the
conclusion that the college upheld his
actions. When the matter of his dis
charge was being talked about here Chief
Brown said that he would insist that the
man hold his position because he believed
that he was only acting under orders
from higher up.
