Last Thursday, students at Santa Barbara took over
the Administration building. They did It in protest «for
Bill Allen, an anthropology teacher, recently fired.
The administration stated they would, give Alien a closed
hearing. The students demanded, it be opened.
On Friday, campus police were unable to keep the
administration building open. All personnel received
an escort in and out of the building. Administrators
periodically informed protesting students that police
forces would be arriving any moment. One administrator
got into a pushing contest with a student. The frustrated
dean finally struck the student with a bull horn which
opened a cut above his eye. The student was then
arrested. Later that day, before troops from as far as
San Luis Obispo arrived, campus police rushed out of the
administration building, broke a window as they did, and
began swinging at students.
About two o'clok, policemen arrived by the bus
loads. All had bily clubs, some had gas masks, others
had plastic arm shields. Some policemen talked casually
with students while others stood rigidly in combat position,
waiting. One officer tripped and thrashed a
student who was trying to keep students in control.
Other isolated incidents occurred, but none were serious.
As usual, there was no business on Saturday.
On Sunday two meetings were held: one primarily
for the Radical Union, the other for all factions. At
the RU meeting students formulated plans for Monday.
Their goal would be to once again close the administration
building. Again and again, leaders pleaded for no violence.
At the other meeting, many people
spoke, but nothing was accomplished.
Sunday night, police entered the rooms of three
of the students in the RU. They were arrested and placed
in jail. The charges included 1) trespassing, 2) unlawful
assembly, 3) disturbing the peace, 4) refusing
to disburse unlawful assembly, all misdemeanors. Two
received, bail of $1,000, the other $4,400.
The planned activities for Monday never commenced.
About three hundred officers arrived on campus by 6 am.
