Chatman, The Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles (1969) For the first time in legal history, a grand jury was persuaded to order the indictment of student activists on mass felony charges. The indictments were based upon a campus disturbance at San Fernando Valley State College on November 4th., 1968. A delegation from the Black Students Union met with the college athletic director to demand the removal of a football coach they believed discriminated against Negro students. After the athletic di- rector refused their demand, about fifty students marched to the administra- tion building, occupied one floor, and held the acting president and other college personnel captive for several hours. Twenty-four of the leaders were arrested and charged with kidnapping, false imprisonment and conspiracy to commit these offenses. All but one of the defendants were convicted, thirteen for conspiracy. In announcing his verdict, Judge Brandler said: We dare not and will not sanction or tolerate the use of force, violence or other illegal acts to effect desired changes...College campuses are not privileged sanctuaries where disruptive, violent, felonious acts go un- punished. Counsel for the defendants announced that the decision would be appealed. Michigan People v. Harrison, 13 Mich. 54; 163 NW 2d 699 (1969). Certain individ- uals entered the student union building at the state university with signs and literature expressing opposition to the war in Vietnam. They were ar- rested and convicted in the trial court of violation of Michigan's tres- pass-after-warning statute and the university's obstruction ordinance. Upon appeal, the court held that their actions had not been sufficient to constitute violation of the statute and ordinance. Campus Disruptions During 1968-69, Alan E. Bayer and Alexander W.
