Offner said they managed to hand out literature to Hasty Pudding Man of the Year Billy Crystal, who was making his way across the Yard.
"You're doing the right thing," Crystal reportedly told the group.

The protesters then moved to the Science Center, still escorted by an HUPD officer. Riley met them there and confirmed that they were not planning further demonstrations.
Members of the group then began handing out literature, staying until 2 p.m. without further incident.
HUPD officers remained on duty outside of Mass Hall and University Hall for most of the afternoon.
