Case Histories From the CRR File

Harvard v. "Janet Wheeler '70"

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Unlike most students disciplined by Janet Wheeler '70 decided to show up for her first hearing. But after one found in Meeting Room K. she decided she had not enough. "It was a fairly unpleasant and frightening experience," she said. After she attended several rallies and received five summonses to come to more hearings, the committee suspended her-two days before Commencement.

Wheeler and her tutor, who was acting as her lawyer, were guided through several locked doors before entering the penthouse board room of CRR. The proceedings that followed, she said," confirmed what everybody had been saying about CRR-that it was a kangaroo court." She sat before a panel of committee members, the table between them covered with photographs.

You know that Arlo Gurhrie song tight-by-ten glossies with circles and arrows?" she asked. "Well, that is exactly what it was like."

Janet Wheeler is a pseudonym for a member of the class of '70 who asked not to be identified in this article.
