ites of spi
By DEBRA THAL
People, people, everywhere and sunshine, lollipops, ice
cream, Lt. Staudenmaier and the brown-green-grass welcomed
back spring yesterday.
As the temperature reached 73 degrees, impromptu picnics,
football games, and sunbathing became, as one sun worshipper
put it, the "only thing you can do in weather like this. After all
finals are more than a week away."
In the Arb, the White Panthers Youth International Party
sponsored a "Yippie Be-in" where several hundred people con-
gregated throughout the sunny afternoon.
As the season's first kites flew overhead, guitars, harmon-
icas, and dogs accompanied the walks along the river and
games people played.
Half a dozen frisbees flew through the air as both dogs
and humans played the game. A purple frisbee became a
special target of canine participation as two-and four-legged
sun worshippers cheered on the Dogs while the Humans vainly
attempted to secure the frisbee.
A radical game of Capture the Flag was organized by the
day's "revolutionary vanguard," and after a futile struggle
both sides lost when each captured each other's flag.
A ball mysteriously appeared and a soccer game began.
But it was interrupted when eight bandits liberated the ball
for a rugby tournament.
That's the way the day was-a little bit of this, a little
bit of that-all in the fun-sun.

STRIKE REPRISALS?:
Law students
ace charges
By PAT MEARS
A "member of the law school" filed a charge against an
unspecified number of' law school "members" involved in the
Black Action Movenient strike, Dean k rancis Allen said yes-
terday.
Allen stated that the charge was filed with him and the
school's Administiative Committee. The accusation will . be
reviewed by a "university investigator," 'Allen added.
The investigator will make a report "and then we will
make a decision on what to do next," he explained.
Declining to be more specific, Allen did not say whether
those who made the accusations and those accused were stu-
dents or faculty members. He did not reveal the charges

They ordered that charges were

During the strike, the law school
retained Robert Grace, formerly a

However, Fabre pointed out that
the committee had declined to do
so because "due to an oversight,

A raibunctious evening
Students move into the street near South Quad as approximately 200 people gathered between South
and West quads last night after an unidentified person provoked dorm residents by shouting from

students later surrounded the provacateur.
