Non-Student Trouble Makers?

Non-Student Trouble Makers?

One immediate question involves the participation of non-students in the demonstrations. Muldoon's initial reaction was to blame the whole thing on nonstudents. As far as I can make out there were no more than ten non-students involved; and the most prominent like Chris Wheeler took very little active part in the whole thing especially on the Friday. All the talk about nonstudents, which seems to consider them a caste like the 'untouchables', has been exaggerated out of proportion.

Of course there were a lot of non-students actively involved in the incidents on the Friday whom people seem to have forgotten; namely the PBEC delegates!
