An estimated 2,500 to 3,000 fans mobbed the intersection of South University Avenue and Church Street. The gathering grew slowly as disappointed patrons of the South University bars emerged from the establishments. At its peak, the crowd filled the streets and side- walks in the intersection. Ann Arbor Police Department (AAPD) officers were once again out in full force to deter violence and damage to city property, with more than 150 officers lining the sidewalks from East University Avenue to South Forest Street. In all, AAPD made at least 10 arrests, and at least six people were taken away by ambulance in the course of events. Describing the atmosphere, AAPD Chief Douglas Smith said, "Young, drunk, and not supportive of the University of Michigan." Although the crowd was much smaller than the one that engulfed South University Saturday night, Smith said he thought the crowd was more inebriated than Satur- day's mob. "You can't reason with them when they're drunk," Smith said. The alcohol seemed to have Police arrest a person at last night's gathering on South University Avenue. impaired the crowd's creativity, as members of the mob chanted "Fuck N.C." over and over, and little else. One group of scornful students torched a North Carolina Tar Heels hat in the midst of the disil- lusioned crowd. Students set off both large and small fireworks in the middle of the crowd. Instead of victory confetti fly- ing through the air, people in the .crowd began tossing beer cans - often spraying their contents over the congregated masses. University Vice President for Student Affairs Maureen Hartford was hit in the shoulder by a rock, but was not seriously injured. But students' playful rumblings in the middle of the street soon yielded more violent encounters, drawing police into the crowd to break the numerous fights that erupted. "There are no time outs on the streets of Ann Arbor - this is mayhem," said LSA junior Danny Lafian. By 12:20 a.m., Smith said there had been three arrests, two for ma- licious destruction of property and one for assault. By 12:35 a.m., police officers ordered the crowd to disperse over a rooftop public announcement system. AAPD Sgt. Mark Kinsey acted upon Smith's directive to "split the officers into two halves and push the crowd off the corner of South University and Church Street" using a human wall, in- stead of tear gas. Police officers stood by wait- ing for the worst, billyclubs and mace containers in hand. A few antagonizing members of the crowd shouted, "Hell no, we won't go," and hurtled bottles and snowballs at the police barricade. At 1:08 a.m., when a fraction of the mob still lingered, police announced, "If you don't comply with us, we will have to make it rough." LSA first-year student Anne Bottros stood by and commented, "I don't think this is much of a celebration. Whatever violence has occurred was instigated by the police." The last stragglers finally left the area around 1:15 a.m., but not without a number of minor skir- mishes within groups of students stretching all the way to the Michigan Union. Smith said last night's crowd was more violent than the one that assembled after last year's cham- pionship-game loss, although fewer people made it to South University this year. -Daily staff reporters David Rheingold and David Shepardson contributed to this report Criser bringsfans close to live action by David Rheingold Daily Staff Reporter Not every Michigan basketball fan could make the trek to New Orleans, but many got the next best thing at Crisler Arena last night, where they watched the Wolverines duke it out for the national champi- onship on three large-screen TVs. "It was as close to being at the game as you could get without go- ing," said Teresa Henrichs, a first- year student in the School of Music. An estimated 4,000 fans showed up to watch the game. One person was stabbed and numerous fights erupted during the event, according to the University dience by playing "The Victors" throughout the game. The University billed the event as an alcohol-free alternative to lure students away from the South University area, where disturbances have occurred following major sporting events. Although some of the people at Crisler later went to South University, they weren't inebriated. "They're not out getting drunk, so they know a little bit more what they're doing when they go down to South University," said LSA senior Michelle Randall.
