Bok, Associate Dean Albert M. Sacks, and Adam Yarmolinsky '43, professor of Law and former associate of Robert F. Kennedy.

Law School students will leaflet today at MBTA stops and local shopping areas and will canvass and leaflet in Charlestown and East Boston. Some students are making contingency plans to defend demonstrators who might be arrested on Oct. 15.
