Roaman contends there would be no negotiation of bis Constitutional rights in his case. "If I am expected to cease these protests which are totally peaceful in character and well within the boundaries of con stitutional guarantees, then let my case terminate at this very moment. "If the choice is between my freedom of expression 'and my remaining on this campus, let the record show that I choose the first of these alternatives without a moment's hesita tion." Rozman said he would like to see a thorough disclosure of the facts, but that he will refuse to cooperate with the committee unless they guarantee witnesses immunity from University or legal action.
