Management of Club Mount Auburn Enters Building in Defiance of Order

The management of Club Mount Auburn 47 last night entered the building for the first time since the abortive Sing Out for SANE Oct. 30, to test its right to disobey alleged informal police orders not to enter.

Police Capt. Edward F. Tierney arrived 50 minutes after entry to investigate, but left after Gerald Gillerman '49, counsel for the club, told him his clients were not opening the club to the public, but just installing fire prevention devices so the building can pass fire inspection laws.

"Who closed Mount Auburn?--nobody knows," Gillerman said earlier. "Police, fire, and building officials all blame one another. I guess we'll never get to the bottom of it," he said.

Gillerman represents the club and a Harvard student who organized the SANE meeting, who are charged with operating without licenses to serve food and to provide entertainment.
