"We want to invite together a group of officials from the police department and representatives from the student community and from the University to evaluate what hap- pened and see what can be done dif- ferently," she said. The council has also requested a completer the evening's events.

In addition, two fires were set during the evening. The flyers and posters covering the West Engineer- ing kiosk were lit by a rioter and a small fire in the bushes near the UGLi was set, where some rioters lit roman candle fireworks. After the mounted force failed to clear the streets, the officers sta- tioned along South University store fronts massed at the corner of East and South University where they prepared to sweep the street by foot. The foot officers made progress to Church Street, where the bulk of the crowd was located. There the po- lice officers were stopped and the crowd began to push them back- ward. The crowd then became physi- cally aggressive, and from his van- tage point on top of the Brown Jug restaurant, Police Chief Douglas Smith decided to use teargas. "When we start getting injured, the call is pretty easy to make. We're just not going to let our officers become tar- gets," Smith said. Smith also noted the disorderly conduct that occurred during the original sweep by mounted patrol as a factor in his decision. As a result of objects being thrown at them by rioters, three offi- cers were treated for injuries re- ceived during the riot. As the crowd chanted, "We want teargas," the police officers donned gas masks and fired several canisters of teargas into the crowd. The rioters retreated towat Washtenaw Avenue until the gas was dispersed by the evening's strong wind. "Your throat and your nose and your eyes really hurt, I was seriously crying and hacking," first-year LSA student Sue Surowiec said. 0 Pint Night Wednesdays Pints of the "Best Draft beer selection" in town at Glass Prices T O, o -oe ,,/i' i1 Look for it in the (they really work!) MICHELLE -'UY/Daily Students walk through the West Engineering Arch, which had been closed yesterday due to the presence of residue from the teargassing on South University Monday night after the NCAA championship basketball game. The volley was repeated twice, each time the crowd reacting with more anger and less regard for the toxic gas, eyewitnesses said. At ap- proximately 1 a.m. Tuesday the crowd pushed the police back through the West Engineering Arch. The police fired approximately four canisters of teargas to hold the crowd at bay while backing through the arch. The crowd began to thin out after the police left the area. Some students said they sup- ported the police use of teargas. An LSA senior who wished to remain anonymous said, "I condone it because things were getting way out of hand. There were a lot of people burning things. What else could they do to protect public prop- erty? The police bashing is totally absurd." LSA senior Mark Ritner said he saw an officer hit a student over the head. When he questioned the offi- cer's actions and attempted to look at his badge he said he was sprayed in the face with a substance . -Daily staff reporters Laura Adderly, Lauren Dermer, Henry Goldblatt and David Rheingold, and Associated Press contributed to this article.

Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Royster Harper - who was present during the incident - said she is frustrated by both student and police behavior. "I'm disappointed in every- thing," she said. "I'm disappointed that there were bottles thrown. I'm disappointed that a much larger crowd Saturday was more respon- sible. I'm disappointed that our students were teargassed." Harper also expressed anger at bar and store owners who sold alcohol to underage fans. "This incident does not repre- sent a majority of University of Michigan students," she said. "All of us ought to be angry at those who were there. This makes no sense. We are better than this." She said she had been receiving calls from concerned students and parents all day yesterday. "We need to create a safe envi- ronment on this camnus.

"We need to focus on eliminat- ing the kind of behavior that would cause teargassing," she said. "We should not have to have police on the street helping us not to hurt each other."

But Harrison said he thinks it is in the best interest of students to give more input on the code. "I think it's a good proposal," Harrison said. "What we are all after is the best possible code." But Warren said he thinks the implementation of his code proposal will be indefinitely postponed. "I think that after a year, the words 'we need more input' mean 'we want to stop the process,"' he said. "This is a stalling technique." But Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Royster Harper said{ she thinks a proposal will be passed after students are consulted. "I think the new code should really reflect student thought," she said. Harper questioned Warren's mo- tivation for wanting to pass the code quickly. "It seems like it's more important to him that it's done while he is in charge than that it is done with student input," she said. LSA senior and MSA Rep. Todd Ochoa said of Warren, "After a whole year of kissing the administra- tion's ass, he's finally figuring out they're not working in the best in- terest of students. Instead of con- fronting the administration, he puts on a little show in the theater of MSA." A U I r No LSA-SG&B MSA PRESENT GRAD BASH! Everyone's Welcome &t EVERYTHING'S FREE!
