May 22: The Soc Rel Department tabulated the results of its mail ballot and said that the department had decided to sponsor Soc Rel 148 and 149 again next year.

In response to a Congressional subpoena, Harvard administrators sent a Senate committee the names of 32 students who were arrested in University Hall and who also receive Federal aid. Senator John McClellan (D-Ark)'s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigation had sent five Harvard deans a list of 175 students arrested in the demonstration. The committee then subpoenaed the deans to say which of the students received Federal money. Harvard administrators denounced the investigation but said that Federal law compelled them to obey.
