Judge Edward A. Dever yesterday granted 24 students arrested in Thursday's "so called Harvard Squal demonstration" a continuance un next week. "In order to get them over with, cases will all have to be tried the end of next week," the judge to the court.

Over 150 spectators and witness crowded into the East Cambridge District Court yesterday at 9 a.m. to hear to cases. Many stayed for the routine court business that went on between the arraignment and the decision for continuance, and after this decision was announced.

District Attorney George E. Thompson read the list of 24 students, and four each was represented by legal counsel present in the courtroom. Thompson then adjourned to separate chambers with the attorneys to arrange for continuance dates. Eleven of the men will be trial in the same court at 9 a.m. next Tuesday, though Judge Louis Green will probably be sitting, not Dever--The Massachusetts Governor's brother was the judge who presided over the first hearing last Friday.
