SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (M - Roving bands of youths
pelted police cars with rocks and bottlesfor a third straight
night yesterday despite a curfew and a state of emergency
declared by Gov. Ronald Reagan.
However, except for one group of about 150 youths, the
bands were small and there was no renewal of the violent
rioting Wednesday during which a bank was burned to the
gkound and numerous fires were set and windows broken.
The 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew was ordered by county super-
visors after a meeting With Reagan. It forbids loitering and

Students invaded the adminis
tration building of the State Uni-
versity of New York at Buffal
last night, continuing a destruc-
tive spree which brought two con
frontations with police earlier in
the day.p
The students later left the build
Firebombs were tossed in three
other buildings, but other students
quickly extinguished the blazes.
Witnesses said the students
smashed windows, ripped out tele
phones and started at least o n e
;rmall fire in the chief administra-
'tive building, Hayes Hall, ;which
houses offices of the president and
deans.
Some 200 city police and sher
iff's deputies, armed with tear
gas, were called.
The night disorders followed a
ethree-hour lull in violence on the
campus, which earlier in the day
had seen students use cars as bat-
tering rams, smashing vehicles in-
to the outer walls of the campus
police headquarters.
The violence marked the second
straight day of disorders on the
O campus.
About 200 students tore down
a fence at a Navy-sponsored r e -
search project and stoned a build-
ing in which the ROTC had of-
fices.
The violence lasted for about
three hours before the students
drifted into dormitories.
School administrators blamed
the violence on "the radical left"
and "their lust for destruction."
Damage at the wood frame po-
lice building was described as ex-
tensive, but no injuries were re-
ported.
Yesterday's disorders followed a
night or rock-throwing and win.

of California campus here.
The area was heavily patrolled
by sheriff's deputies Thursday
night but they had difficulty
coping with the hit-and-run tac-
tics of the demonstrators, who
were apparently protesting on a
wide range of issues.
The group of 150 youths started
a bonfire on a street in the busi-
ness section. They began drifting
away when a voice from a police
helicopter ordered them to dis-
perse.

who spoke on campus shortly be-
fore Wednesday's demonstration,
crossed state lines to incite a riot.
In an interview from his Mama-
s roneck, N.Y., home, a New York
- radio station, WNEW, quoted
Kunstler as saying, "I didn't see
anyone rushing out of that sta-
dium ... It was a quiet, responsive
I audience. They sat patiently list-
ening to me."
Asked to comment on the vio-
lence, Kunstler said. "I think
probably the same thing would
have happened if I had never been
ein California:"
He said it was a product of bit-
terness and frustration. But he
noted, even to call it violence, is
'misleading. "It is minor maraud-
ing, growing out of this bitterness
of Vietnam. It is nothing com-
pared to what happened daily in
Vietnam."
The governor accounted his
moves after a closed session with
Santa Barbara County supervisors,
university officials, the sheriff and
a National Guard official.
"The Board of Supervisors has
requested and I've agreed to a
declaration of extreme emergency,
K he said. "We will make highway
patrolman available to prohibit
the formation of mobs."
Earlier, he told newsmen in an
emotional voice: "So help me God,
we will provide everything that
needs providing even if it means
a declaration of martial law. .
This cannot be allowed to continue
and will not be allowed."
The National Guard will be
mobilized, he said, if the sheriff1
and highway patrol request it.
The Wednesday night demon-
stration by about 1,000 young
people was broken up by a massed
force of police after the bank
branch was gutted, a squad car
burned and real estate offices
raided.
The bank estimated damage to
its branch at $400,00 and said it
is offering $25,000 for information
leading to conviction of the arson-
ists. Civil "John Doe" suits will
be filed against all participants,
the bank said.

The Senate Assembly last
night unanimously opposed a
moratorium of classes to allow
a University-wide forum on
job recruiting. However, the
faculty's h i g h e s t decision-
making body did call on the
newly-created Committee on
Communications to "conduct
a series of forums" on the
issue.
Student Government Council, at
its meeting last night, refused to
participate in the Committee on
Communications until the Regents
pass bylaws concerning student
decision-making, however. This
renders that committee virtually
helpless to deal with the recruit-

Two members of the Radical College were turned away
by administrators from the business school when they at-
tempted to enter a University-sponsored Seminar on Inter-
national Licensing and Joint Ventures yesterday.
Sponsored by the Institute for International Commerce,
the seminar was attended by businessmen who paid a $100
fee to learn methods of increasing "business growth and
profitability overseas."
The twb college members turned away yesterday were

Council declined to take a posi-

The first resolution would
have condemned Fleming for his
"blatant repression of the truth on
this campus," because he refused
to finance an SGC drafted "f a c t

similar leaflet passed out by Flem-
ing after last week's GE recruiter

that "SGC takes a firm, unyield-

Sahlins and Bluestone decided to
seek admission to the conference
yesterday morning because of
concern in the college over the
nature of the closed seminar.
But when Bluestone and Sahlins

Professor of International Busi-
nes refused them admission, ex-
plaining, "This is a private con-
ference for the businessmen who
have come here."
According to Business School
Dean Floyd Bond, "the conference
is to improve the economy of
Michigan and to improve the bal-
ance of payments."
In seeking entrance, the radical
faculty members pointed to an
earlier invitation for two of their
number to attend the Seminar.

Abortion controversy heats up
By HESTER PULLING
The state controversy over abortion law re-
form is heading toward a climax as a state
senate hearing, a court suit, and a number of
citizens' group actions have all been announced
with the same thing in mind-liberalizing the
current state law.
In addition, Ann Arbor's Republican Sen.
Gilbert Bursley introduced a bill Wednesday
which, if adopted, would make Michigan's abor-
tion laws among the most liberal in the nation.
The state's present abortion law prohibits
abortion except when necessary to save the
mother's life.

Beebe, (R-Dearborn).
Sen. Beebe's committee has been holding
'a series of state-wide hearings on the bills, the
last of which is scheduled for Detroit this morn-

and will continue throughout the day at the
City-County Building, will be attended by a
number of local groups interested in abortion
reform.

especially the last one, will be an important
factor in getting support for a reform measure.

student - faculty - administration
panel created by the Regents last
week, from dealing with the prob-

The current controversy on job
recruitment was referred to the
committee by University President
Fleming last Tuesday, and by Sen-
ate Assembly last night.
"This whole thing is a typical
Fleming move," said Bob Hirshon.
"We must continue our year-and-
a-half policy of non-participationI

til all the bylaws are passed."
In other action by the Council,
three referenda to appear on the
March ballot of SGC elections were
approved.

recruiting-
By JIM McFERSON
Responding to recent protests
against recruiting by large com-
panies on campus, Engineering
Council last night called for con-
tinued recruiting with no suspen-
sions-however short.
The motion, introduced by the
Executive Board of the council,
contended that "any discontinu-
ation, no matter how temporary,
of the activities of the Placement
Service would be a serious break-
age of faith on the part of the
University."
The motion states that these
demonstrations utilized "force and
repression" to acconplish their
objective and asks the University
to "reject the use of violence at
this early stage."
Deleted from the original mo-
tion. was a passage which. read,
"In the events of the past few
weeks, the students of the Engi-
neering College have exhibited
considerable tolerance and re-
straint in their response to the
forces of violence and repression
