That was too much. With support from press organizations and the university administration, the Daily's spunky blonde editor, Felicity Barringer, 20, went to court seeking a permanent injunction against further police searches. "They wouldn't have raided a major newspaper office," she argued. "Just because we're smaller doesn't mean we should be without the full rights of freedom of the press."

Stanford President Richard Lyman denounced the search of the Daily offices as "deplorable."

We live constantly in the middle of it."
