Agnew says 'Seven' are 'social misfits'
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Vice-President Spiro T. Agnew told the nation's governors Thursday that defendants in the conspiracy trial of the "Chicago Seven" were a "handful of oddballs who deliberately set out to disrupt the most basic protection of our country, the dignity of the courts."
Agnew criticized the defendants and other "social misfits" in a speech at the mid-winter meeting of the National Governors Conference. He saved his denunciation of the "Chicago Seven" until the final minutes of his speech and drew a round of applause when he finished.
It does not matter, he said, whether or not everyone agrees with all the rulings of federal Judge Julius Hoffman.
the new technique of judicial disruption is spreading like wildfire through the country. The tactic is to provoke and inflame in the hope that over-reaction will obliterate the true nature of the proceeding.
"Courts are becoming carnivals. Laws are flouted. Criminals commit their despicable acts against society in the name of political activity."
Hoffman sentenced all seven defendants and two of their defense attorneys to jail terms for contempt of court. Five of the seven were convicted on charges of crossing state lines to incite a riot.
Agnew told the governors that the "overriding and compelling issue in the United States today is will the government of this country remain in the hands of

"It is in this inordinate attention to the bizarre," Agnew said, "this preoccupation with the dramatic, this rationalization of the ridiculous that we threaten the progress of our nation."
He urged the governors to demonstrate leadership and "drive these bizarre extremists from their pre-emptive positions on our television screens and on

Administration officials believed the disorders stem from a boycott of basketball practice by black members of the team in November. The blacks demanded that coach Leu Sorfustini be fired, that a Negro coach be added to the staff, and that blacks be given a greater share of athletic grants-in-aid.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (UPI)—More than 1,200 angry students hurled bricks, stones, heavy boards and chunks of ice in turning back 30 helmeted city and campus police Thursday in violence that erupted for the third straight day on the State University at Buffalo campus.
Two policemen suffered minor injuries and two demonstrators were arrested for disorderly conduct. Students drifted back to the interior of the campus at sunset and the confrontation cooled down.
At its height, more than 175 campus and city police and Erie County sheriff's deputies were at the scene.
Captain's Table
Ever since the first ship was built for extended journeys in which food supplies were brought aboard, the ships captain always had the finest of the staples available. Often captains had their own supply which was far superior to that of the lower ranking officers and crew. This, in addition to the fact that the ship's captain was considered a king in his own right, led to the prestige of the captain's table. In the early days the captain often ate alone, and as time and knowledge of the sea progressed, the voyages became much longer. History doesn't say whether it was from boredom of eating alone, losing touch with the ship's officers, or the discussion of ships's business during dinner, but the captain began inviting his officers for dinner. This soon extended to the prominent and rich passengers aboard ship and there was much prestige accorded to those who were invited to dine at the captain's table. This tradition has been handed down through centuries and even today aboard luxury liners and tramp steamers alike, there is a certain aura to being invited to dine at the captain's table. Not wanting to set naval tradition back several centuries we feel here, every table is THE CAPTAIN'S TABLE.
Each selection is separately priced for two reasons. First, our unique cash register system requires individual pricing. Second, it is the owners opinion that a customer should not have to pay for something that comes with a dinner that they do not wish to eat, but may order from a menu items that they do wish to eat. Hence, the very economical appearance of certain prices. These low prices certainly do not reflect the quality of merchandise. Quite the contrary; to date we have brought before you the finest we can find, and we plan to continue on this course. We hope that The Captain's Table will be an adventure in fine dining.
