Students of the Union Theological Seminary

(Original Caption) Eight university students of the Union Theological Seminary who refused to register for selective military service are shown in the "black Maria" after they had been sentenced to a year and a day by federal Judge Samuel Mandelbaum in federal court, New York, today. Before sentences were imposed it was suggested that the students could receive suspended sentences if they would change their minds about registering. A spokesman for the group rejected the offer with an attack on "mass murder." The students are David Dellinger, Wakefield, Mass.; George Houser, Denver, Colo.; Joseph Bevilacqua, Buffalo, N.Y.; Howard Sprague, Malden, Mass.; Meredith Dallas, Grosse Point, Mich.; William Lovell, Poughkeepsie, N.Y.; Don Benedict, Newark, N.J.; and Richard Wichlie, Binghampton, N.Y.
