Two NY Colleges Suspend Marxists

Two New York City colleges last week outlawed Marxist groups from their campuses. Brooklyn College took the strongest measures, suspending activity of its Karl Marx Society for holding a meeting in Manhattan at which Henry Winston, organizational secretary of the Communist Party, spoke. Winston is one of the 11 Communists on trial in the United States District Court.

A faculty committee on student organizations banned the Karl Marx Society from the Runter College campus for "conduct unbecoming a chartered club."

At Columbia, the Committee on Student Organizations was more lenient; they placed Columbia's two leftist groups on probation for the remainder of the academic year.
