Assault Charges

A South House assistant senior tutor and a member of the Spartacist League--who have charged each other' with assault in connection with a Spartacist rally last month--will be arraigned January 14 in Third District Court.

Harvard will help fund the defense of Melanie B. Yun against the charge of assault filed by Keith Manning, a Cambridge resident, James A. Sharaf '59, assistant general counsel for the University, said yesterday.

"We believe that Miss Yun was assaulted by Mr. Manning and do not believe that he was assaulted by her," Sharaf added.

The alleged assaults took place at a speech criticizing the independent Polish labor union Solidarity by a member of the Spartacist League November 12 at Harvard Hall.
