blocked for miles, and police
finally fired tear gas into the group
to break up the riot. An esti-

out of a football rally at the

THE thing to do is to get the
names of those responsible and
kick them out Of school. Any
one who hasn't got more sense
than that has no place on the
university campus"

guilty pleas to two charges Of
larceny after trust, earlier this
week, was given three-year sus-
pended terms in the Maryland

cult Court specified that the SEN
tences were to run concurrently.

tance from clients Of money which
he failed to return in full and
were the same as those that led
to his disbarment October Is.
Associate Judge Charles c.
Marbury imposed the sentences
which had been deferred since
Hackett admitted the ofenses
last week. "
The court said a doctor had in
dicated that the former attorney
was suffering from severe stomach
ulcers and would soon have to
undergo . serious abdominal
operation.
Because of that condition" !"
Judge Marbury said, "confine-
ment In the House of Correction
probably would lead to fatal con-
sequences"

fession and to sustain public con-
fidence.
When asked If he had any
thing to say before sentence was
pronounced Hackett said he was
terribly sorry and would appre-
ciate the courts leniency."
