They surged down near- U . By JIM NEUBACHER Stunned regret swept across theI campus yesterday in the wake of the slaying of civil rights leader the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Thursday. More than 4,500 Uni- versity students, many wearing black armbands, attended mem- orial, services and silent marches In respect for the memory of the minister shot in Memphis. All noon classes were cancelled for the memorial service. By eight o'clock this morning, about 100 students, mostly Negro, were circling the Diag in silent tribute to the late Dr. King. They were later joined by more students and continued standing quietly on the Diag until noon. At noon; students filled the seats and aisles of Hill Aud. and over 500 flooded onto the terrace to listen to memorial services over loudspeakers. After the services, over 1,000 stu- dents marched silently, around the campus and city in a tribute or- ganized by students from the so- cial work school.j And in response to student sug- gestion, Vice President for Aca- dlemic Af fairs, Allan F. Smith, said serious consideration will be given to establishing an endowed Martin Luther King chair and an endowment fund for Marin Luther King scholarships. All University functions were suspended for the services at which Dean William Haber, of the literary college, P r o f. Albert Wheeler, of the Medical school, Rev. Emmett Green of Ann Ar- bor's Second Baptist Church, and Samuel Jones, '68 BAd, deliveredI addresses. "This one man was the buffer between us and the brutality which lives within us," Haber be- gan. "More significantly, he em- phasized what needed to be done, and done fast. Social revolutions - and in his non-violent way he was a revolutionary leader - are not a weekend affair. "From Montgomery and Selma and the Lincoln Memorial he hammered away at the problems of inequality, neglect and injus- tices," Haber said. "Martin Luther King had a dream," he continued, referring to Dr. King's famous plea for racial equality delivered at the massive! Washington civil rights march in 1963. "But yesterday that dream became a nightmare.' "The dream must remain. His dream must become our dream," Haber concluded. Wheeler urged action to pre- serve King's "dream for Ameri- ca." "If we were to spend forever grieving we would ciesecrate the name of Martin Luther King. We must address ourselves to the problems in our cities and our so- ciety," he said. He criticized the "passive rac- ists" who slow the march for freedom by refusing to become in- volved in the problems of blacks in America. Rev. Green attacked more ac- tive racism. "We need to be mourned," he said. "We are the ones left to live in a racist society of two warring camps, black and white. We are dying daily of the sickness that puts us at war withI ourselves, with each other, broth- ers and sisters, black and white." Jones agreed saying, "we must all take strength from his philo- sophy and love." "But it's time for whites to be- gin to respect our blackness our humanity, our needs, and our wants," the student said. The ten front rows of the two center sections of the auditorium were reserved for the Negro stu- dents and staff in attendance, This was done to insure seats nearI the front for those participating in the demonstrations on the Diag just before the services began. "It's kind of like a funeral," one black student said. "Who sits up in front - the relatives or the friends?" Campaigns fPostponed By The Associated Press Much of the nation's activity slowed yesterday in the wake of the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. Democratic Presidential hope- fulE Eugene McCarthy and Robert F. Kennedy both canceled weekend campaign appearances.I McCarthy announced yesterday he is cancelling his California campaign activities for the week- end out of respect to Dr. King. An aide said that after his speech in Los Angeles last night the Minnesota Democratic presi- dential hopefuls will fly to Wash- ington and will attend the joint session of Congress on Monday in honor of the slain civil rights leader. Kennedy abanidoned political campaigning to condemn a "mind- less menace of violence in Amer- ica" which brought King's death. He briefly interrupted his hectic campaign schedule after King's assassination and canceled several political appearances in Cleveland and Louisiana. Republican candidate Richard M. Nixon also canceled all cam- paigned appearances scheduled today in Minnesota. Two baseball season opening games were postponed as the sports world reacted to the King assassination and President John- son's declaration of Sunday as a National Day of Mourning for the slain civil rights leader. Because of the state of emer- gency declared in Wayne County, Michigan Democrats have post- poned indefinitely all Jefferson- Jackson Day activities set for Sat- urday in Detroit. )RPORATION presents Several stores were looted as a Detroit police reported fireI crowd of Negroes, many of them alarms were pulled, apparently by teenagers, lined 12th Street in students, in two predominantly the afternoon, pelting cars driven Negro high schools, and the stu- by whites with bottles and bricks. dents vacated the buildings.

The heavy show of force caused Nearly all Negroes on the street to disperse, and by 8 p.m., when the curfew went into effect, the street was practically desert- ed. About an hour after the police moved up 12th Street, the first National Guardsmen began arriv- ing into the city, a 'spokesman for Cavanagh said. When night fell, an hour and a half later, calm had returned to the streets. "Roaming bands and tension have assumed such proportions, particularly in the 12th Street area, that it is deemed wise to take this precautionary step," Gov. George Romney told a midafter- noon news conference in Lansing when he announced the Guard would be moved into Detroit. Some 1,500 guardsmen en- camped at Central High School, two blocks west of 12th Street. After he arrived in Detroit from Lansing, Romney declared a state of emergency in all of Wayne County, and the southern portions of neighboring Oakland and Ma- comb counties, The youth shot in Highland Park was identified as Robert Vaughn, 19, of Detroit. Romney said he was one of 20 Negroes who went into a store bearing "Black 'Power" signs and began looting. Romney said Vaughn backed into an officer after five of the' youths were arrested and was killed when the'patrolman's gun went off. The governor said guardsmen also were being sent to the sub- urbs of Ecorse, River Rouge, Ham- tramack and Highland Park.
