Confrontation on South University Ave. was narrowly
averted last night as Mayor Robert Harris ordered police to
stay away.
By 1:28 a.m. there were only 75 people left on South
University, most on the block between South Forest and
Church. Traffic was flowing freely on South University and
neighboring streets. At 2 a'm. only about 30 people remained
on the entire length of South University.
But at various times during the evening the crowd of up
to 600 swelled into the streets. Traffic was not completely
closed off, however. There were scattered incidents of bottle
throwing and one fight broke out.
No uniformed police were on the street at any time, although
120 Ann Arbor and 30 state police were alerted a.d stationed nearby
on Tappan.
Mayor Harris came to South University twice last night, both
times urging people to get off the streets and go home..
In addition, Harris said Ann Arbor Police Chief Walter Krasny
would not bring in police without word from him.
He also said Washtenaw County Sheriff Douglas Harvey had
agreed not to come in, but noted the sheriff had the right to come in
whenever he chose to do so under the state constitution.
"We're very grateful. Everyone's been very cooperative," Harris
said late last night.
Harris explained to a group of people on the sidewalk that "we
want to keep Sheriff Harvey out of operation."
At least two county deputy patrol cars were seen cruising the
area last night.
Skip Taube and other members of the White Panther Party were
also helping to clear the street. Taube warned the crowd that
the police "would either arrest everyone or bust our heads in" unless'
they left.
Several University professors heli ed direct traffic, including his-
tory professors Arthur Medel, Shaw Livermore and Gerhard Wein-
berg; Dr. Albert Wheeler of the Medical School; and James O'Neill,
chairman of the Romance languages department.
The tensest moment of the night miay have been at about 11 p.m.
when many of the crowd who had been gathering all night moved
into the streets.
Two members of the God's Children motorcycle gang moved into
the street and yelled to the crowd to join them. The street was mo-
mentarily closed by a large group of people who moved in:
However, cars which came down the street five minutes later were
able to get through slowly.
Harris then arrived and began walking the street trying to get
people to leave.
City Administrator Guy Larcom, Jr. and Assistant City Admin-
istrator Don Borut were also on the street with Harris.
During the night rumors that the police were about to clear the
street contiiued to circulate.
At 11:30 a.m. Diana Farmer, who said she was entering the
University in the fall, stood up on a can in the street and told people
the police were on the way and "had the right to shoot if they want
to."She later said she obtained the information from a police band
Sradio.
The crowd began to diminish slightly after she spoke.
At 11:45 Taube was also, teHing people to leave. Shortly after
people began to leave, and by midnight the street cleared more nQtice-
ably.
People on the sidewalks were drinking wine, smoking pot and
lyi milling around. About 400 remained. A large group was playing catch
id with beer cans in the street, closing off one lane.
ay One unidentified person argued that one lane should be closed
r- and urged people to move into one lane and close it to traffic. He
was unsuccessful.
ap Earlier in the evening, people were milling around the block
lp between Church and S. Forest. Most of them were concentrated in
d. front of University Towers.
w Many of the people last night were non-University students who
o" appeared to be of high school age. Most of them were in front of
se University Towers. It appeared that many University students and
rs other Ann Arbor residents had gathered near the gas station across
from the apaitment building to watch.
to Occasional fire crackers were thrown and shortly before 11 p.m.
e- a trash can in front of the Bagpiper Shop was tipped over onto the
in street.
:e- Althogh people sporadically ran into the street, traffic was able
re to move
n At 2:18 a.m. a hard rain began falling, tut the numb of people
left had already dwindled to less than a dozen.

the asseshment acceptable to stu-

to pay for the facilities.
The IM board report claims
there is "apparent general student
support" for a funding of new fa-
cilities through a tuition hike bas-
ed on the findings of the "Kirscht
Study."
The study says that 57 per cent
of the students surveyed approve
of the use of student fees to fi-
nance new facilities.
However, student leaders were
quick to point out that the "Kir-
scht Study" was conducted by a -
physical education class as a
method _of teaching students to:
take surveys.
Student leaders also cited the;
fact that the questionnaire used
for the study made no mention of
a possible tuition increase.
