four shanties, and sent the lumber off to a local charity. Former Editor-in-Chief of The Dartmouth Review and "Committee to Beautify the Green" spokeswoman Debbie Stone was reported as acknowledging that the Committee was "partly a project of the Dartmouth Review." The news of the shanties' demise provoked campus-wide uproar and received immediate censure from President McLaughlin. Ten out of the twelve individuals involved were affiliated with The Review, leading to the paper being blamed for the incident. Charges of racism were levied against its editors because the demolition had occurred the evening after Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. Student activists barricaded themselves in the President's office with demands that the Dean of the College issue a public repudiation of the paper and host teach-ins about racial tolerance. In response, the administration canceled classes on the following Friday and filed disciplinary charges against the twelve perpetrators. After an internal judicial review found them all guilty of violating the school's Code of Conduct and selectively suspended the ten who wrote for The Dartmouth Review, concerns about the apparent bias of the proceedings and witness tampering led to national outrage and calls for a retrial. With help from New Hampshire Senator Gordon Humphrey and Governor John Sununu, the ten students successfully appealed the findings of the panel and were able to remain enrolled at the College.

After Baldwin was rebuffed, he and three other staffers went to speak with Professor Cole personally. When Cole saw them, however, he became enraged and began berating and physically threatening Review editor John Sutter. In the confrontation that followed, Cole repeatedly poked at Sutter's eyes, grabbed the paper's photographer, and ripped the flashbulb off of his camera. When prompted for an apology, Cole beckoned at Sutter and told him to "come and take it from me." On February 26, Dartmouth's Committee on Standards charged the four students involved with "harassment, violating the right to privacy, and disorderly conduct."
