Dunlop Refuses to Talk To Four SDS Members With a Tape Recorder

At this point Dunlop, standing in the doorway which divides the Faculty Room from his office, stepped back and shut the door. May, still in the Faculty Room, began to walk downstairs, and the students followed him.

May also refused to speak with the students, saying, "You don't even have an appointment with me today. I've got a lot of things to do."

'Scared to Talk'

The four students then rejoined the rally outside and told the crowd what had happened. The group briefly chanted "Dean Dunlop, scared to talk, you should not be free to walk," then walked to the Center for International Affairs (CFIA) in order to see Samuel P. Huntington, Thomson Professor of Government. The doors to the CFIA were locked just as they arrived.

A University news release issued yesterday afternoon said that because the SDS members refused to turn off their tape recorder. Dunlop "terminated the interview, inviting the students to return when and if they were prepared to hold a conversation under normal circumstances."
