Two New York City colleges last week outlawed Marxist groups from their campuses. Brooklyn College took the strongest measures, suspending activity of its Karl Marx Society for holding a meeting in Manhattan at which Henry Winston, organizational secretary of the Communist Party, spoke. Winston is one of the 11 Communists on trial in the United States District Court.

A faculty committee on student organizations banned the Karl Marx Society from the Runter College campus for "conduct unbecoming a chartered club."

At Columbia, the Committee on Student Organizations was more lenient; they placed Columbia's two leftist groups on probation for the remainder of the academic year.
