14 arrested, 10 hurt at MSU festival

Fourteen people were arrested and
10 were injured last week during
Michigan State University's annual
Cedar Fest, a block party that erupted
into a rioting mob.
More than 6,000 students attended
the party that East Lansing Police Lt.
Richard Murray described as living
up to its reputation. "It was bigger
and badder (than last year). The

crowd was much more vicious and
hostile."
The injuries occurred when party-
goers began hurling beer bottles into
the crowd causing head lacerations to
seven people.
A plainclothes police officer was cut
by broken glass when he fell trying to
make an arrest. Another man suf-
fered a broken leg after falling from
an apartment balcony.
Police said most of the arrests were
for drunken driving or disorderly
conduct, but a 19-year-old man was
arrested for possession of cocaine.

Students must attend regular lec-

research paper about wine produc-

Because DePaul is a parochial
university, it can serve wine on cam-
