STUDENT UNION DRAMA DELAYED BY SULLIVAN

Councilman Michael A. Sullivan and four policemen held up the H.S.U. show "Waiting for Lefty" a half-hour at Sanders Theatre last night while an impatient crowd and exasperated Student Union members vainly urged them to lift the ban they had imposed.

"No license--no play," Sullivan stated, while the policemen explained to Richard W. Greenebaum '42, who was selling tickets, that state law requires theatrical groups to get a license before charging admission to the public.

Despite the offer by Alan Gottlieb '41, president of the Student Union, to refund all money taken in, the policemen refused to withdraw the ultimatum against the play.

In an effort to calm the crowd, which was growing sullen with cries of "Down With Sullivan" and "Make Sullivan Speak," George Robert Stange '42 delivered an address explaining the delay. Branding Sullivan a "publicity seeker" and a "red-baiter," Stange stated that some unidentified person had called Sullivan the night before to reveal that a Leftist play was being put on at Harvard.

The stalemate ended when Jerome D. Greene '96, Secretary to the Corporation, got the needed license from Mayor Lyons.
