A Yale graduate student arrested in a recent protest of the Trident submarine at Groton is serving a 30-days sentence in Niantic Women's Prison. She pleaded "no contest" to charges of disorderly conduct in arraignment last week.

Elaine Martin, a Ph.D. candidate in Medieval students, was among 15 Yale Divinity and Graduate school students and three undergraduates arrested Saturday. All of the Yale protestors arrested were released Saturday except Martin and Martha Vink, a second year divinity students.

Martin and the others were held over the weekend because they refused to give police their full names, according to Caroline Keeney, a second year divinity student.

The undergraduate were arrested for belonging the mud leading to the launching site. The divinity and graduate students knelt and played in front of the gate at the site.

Vink pleaded not guilty and was released after her pretrial date was set for November 3. Martin, after receiving advice from a lawyer at the Harvard Divinity school, pleaded no contest-a plea which will go on their records as "guilty." Martin had prepared a statement to read in court, but the judge would not permit her to read it. --Yale Daily News
