A fight broke out between the two students and the graduate student, the woman said. Several nearby police officers saw the fight and arrested all four students. According to the police report, the graduate student and one of the other students were charged with disorderly fighting; the woman was charged with assaulting a police officer; and the other student was charged with hindering and opposing arrest. The woman said she did not think she had assaulted the police officer, but according to the police report, she jumped on the back of an officer and hit him in the right eye. The officer sustained minor swelling under the eye, according to the report. The woman, who is of Indian de- scent, said she thinks the attack was definitely a racial incident. "It's an at- tack against all people of dark sking" she said. The woman said she filed an infor- mal report with the Affirmative Ac- tion office, and she did not know whether any action would be taken against the students. She added that she would like to see the students do service work for a minority organiza- tion.

Mouthy Morton Downey, Jr. wrapped up his Motown appearances yesterday at the newly renovated Or- chestra Hall in downtown Detroit. Two shows were taped, the first dealing with labor unions and the second with racism. They will air on Thanksgiving, Nov. 24, and Nov. 25. Downey's show usually is taped in his New Jersey studio, but lately he has been taping at sites across the country. "We were invited," said Bill Boggs, executive producer of the show. "We had great success at the Apollo theatre in Harlem, addressing issues pertinent to New York, so we are here to address issues pertinent to Detroit." From its first airing, the show has been controversial. When asked about the show's reputation for contro- versy, Boggs said, "That's the way it's supposed to be!" And many of Downey's fans agree. "He has the guts to stand up for what he believes," said Todd Michaels of Lake Orion, "This is journalism at its finest." Not everyone in attendance was a "Mort maniac," however. "I think he's one-sided and doesn't allow people to point out their be- liefs and reasons," said Kevin Bendi of West Bloomfield. Guests on Downey's show who do not share his beliefs are usually first blasted by Downey, and then fed to the Beast - his pet name for the raucous audience. Controversial issues are commonplace on the show. In the episode to air Nov. 25, a group of white-supremacist skinheads were pitted against Detroit officials and Roy Innis, chair of the Congress on Racial Equality. After being raked over the coals by Mort and the audi- ence, the skinheads were forced to leave in the middle of the show. They exited amidst chanting, name- calling and obscene gestures. Downey seems to thrive on the controversy. When asked to name the most controversial topic he has en- countered, he replied "Affirmative Action, because it burns up people on both sides. On one side, you get people who shouldn't get a job, and on the other, you get people who thinks those others are stupid. But they're not." For now, his formula is working. Boggs commented that "the ratings are going through the roof." And Mort mania seems to be on the rise? if the standing-room-only crowd was any evidence.
