The two groups then fought it out with leaf lets for a few days until the Faculty Committee on Student Affairs suspended the Y.P.A. for a six-week period for a violation of the rules. The Committee said that the Y.P.A. failed to obtain the necessary approval by Dean Lenz of its initial leaflet.

The Y.P.A. however, claimed that the dean had okayed the leaflet. He agreed that he had seen the leaflet, but denied approving it. A week later, the Faculty, Committee lifted the suspension.

At the same time, on March 10, Mayer O'Dwyer issued a statement that he had no desire to influence the Board of Higher Education's selection of a president. After this the political flames died down.

On March 29, Hovde withdrew his esadidaey. He said he had remained in the right up to then as a matter of principle, but was new retiring because he had been the "center of too much public controversy."

The Board finally picked a Queens president on May 16. He was John J. Theobald, dean of administration at New York City College.

Queens College has its president. Whether or not Theobski's will experience ponewed conflict between "radical" student groups and public figures like James Roe and Connihasn Quinn is a question for the future.
