The
University of Massachusetts at Amherst
has an underground newspaper. After protesters stormed the
Massachusetts Daily Collegian's
office, the newspaper decided to publish from a secret location. It
may also need to dispense the papers from a secret location.
Protesters who were offended by the paper's failure to publish an
editorial denouncing the Rodney King verdict removed thousands of
copies from distribution points.
But don't jump to conclusions about the protesters' politics the
way Editor-in-Chief Marc Elliott did. According to The
Boston Globe,
he chided them with the comment, "I thought only Nazis burned
books." A woman responded: "We didn't burn them. We recycled them."
