BOULDER - A crowd of ap-
proximately 500 male students
milled around blacked-out wom-
en's dormitories at the University
of Colorado. The crowd gathered
in' the dorm area after an unex-
plained blackout of several resi-
dence halls occurred late in the
evening.
Police were alerted to prevent
a possible pantyaraid, and several
identification cards were taken
from students in the crowd. Police
also took several pictures of the
large mob.
Dean of Men Harold Angelo,
asked if action would be taken
against those who had their pic-
tures taken said, "I doubt it." Both
Angelo and Arthur Kiendl, dean
of students, were present during
the activity, but made no effort to
try and control the crowd. A large
factor in dispelling the mob was
fear of being identified,
TEXAS - At the University of
Texas 150 students staged lunch
counter sit-ins on Saturday and
Sunday. Integration was urged at
ten counters throughout downtown
Austin. The stores resisted the
integration attempts by closing
shop or removing counter stools.
By Saturday afternoon three of
the stores relented and were serv-
ing Negroes at the counter. Two
bus station counters allowed Ne-
groes to take food out but would
not allow its consumption on the
premises.
Previously the students had
limited their activities to picket-
ing. The Young Democrats sent
a letter to Senator Lyndon B.
Johnson requesting that he use his
television station to "further de-
segregation of lunch counters in
Austin."
of Koch, the Daily Illini reported.
Last week the Daily Illini said
it had received 89 letters regard-
ing Koch. Sixty-five were against
the university's action and 23 were
in favor of his dismissal.
AUSTIN-An interracial coali-
tion of students from four Austin
colleges and Universities marched
up and down city streets last Wed-
nesday in an effort to end segre-
gated lunch counters here.
The pickets numbered about 30
for each hour and were evenly
divided between Negro and white
students. Reaction to the picket-
ing was calm and there was no
outward evidence of possible
moves to stop students. Austin
merchants in the picket area,
however, indicated that they
would close their lunch counters
in the event that sit-ins would
take place.
