Others got wet rags and passed them out, saying that the rags were preventives of exposure to gas. The sinks in the bathrooms were turned on to flood the floors. Several student body officials, teachers, citizens and ministers talked with many of the demon strators. One clergyman ad dressed the demonstrators, "If you believe in academic freedom, then you wouldn't be doing this." He was promptly booed. After more discussion, the crowd decided it wanted.to.go outside to "see the National"Guardsmen." They left peacefully. The center of the wandering crowd circled to the back of the Administration Building. They were faced by 100 highway patrolmen and 150 National Guardsmen who were marching toward them. A few people in the crowd ran forward and heaved rocks, bricks, bottles and anything available. When the formation of police and Guardstr en got fifty feet from the crowd two policemen broke rank and chased demonstrators. One policeman drew his revolver and pointed it at the crowd. The crowd scattered. One youth stood his ground and begged the policeman to put back his gun. The policeman New con to disrup When students return to school next year, they should find a disrupted traffic and parking situation on campus, according to Harold Brunton, vice president for business affairs. Brunton said the disruption should occur as the University begins construction on five projects - the addition to the library, a new business ad ministration school, a school of nursing, law school and the acquisition of a federally-owned building and property at 901 Sumter St. to be used for ad ministrMi6h"offices. Some of the present parking will be distributed and some new parking facilities such as a parking mall are planned, but specific locations have not been established yet. Brunton said that in spite of the rather conservative $110 million bond bill passed recently by the state legislature, USC will be able to complete all building projects In about four and one-half years. The legislature this year had to cut back on state finances. But Brunton said he was very en thusiastic about the amount ap portioned to the University and 1 atyu bokele B an' '0e 0LtynCmu 44 ManS. Clmi ar gas put his gun back into his holster, drew his club and started swinging the billy stick at the young man. The other policeman chased one girl about fifty yards, finally giving up when the crowd had dispersed in all directions. After the two policemen returned to formation, the crowd returned to throw things from the upper end of the Horseshoe. A policeman picked up the rocks and threw them back. After repeating his intent to use tear gas, Strom told the crowd this was his last warning. He rein terated his last warning sevbral times. Very few people in the crowd moved back. Finally the sound of tear gas machines was heard. The crowd nervously did a small retreat. Strom took a step forward and his men followed. The rocks rained in on the formation. Slowly, the formation advanced. The crowd, putting up little resistance, backed up until they got to Pendleton Street. For a minute it appeared that the crowd was going to turn on the oncoming formation. However, they did not. Most of the crowd had left the exit so the formation regrouped at that gate. A few stones were tossed from the opposite side of the street but nothing else was going on. The police stood around, smoking and talking. The demonstrators were walking about looking for someone to decide their next step. A voice trutons t parking that the University would meet its needs adequately. Hubert (Continued from Page 1) At 8:45 Barbara Herbert ad dressed the aroused crowd and asked that they go home and obey the curfew. She then added that no threats and no bullying were going to make her back down, which drew a huge roar from the crowd.

UNCLAIMED FR EIGHT 1225 BROAD RIVER RD. (Highway 176) COLUt4IA, S.C. 9a.m. - 6p.m. - Setuedsy forces e rang out of the darkness, "On to the Russell House." On the way to the Russell House, six boys tried to tilt a car but a man, who claimed the car as his, ran them off. Someone com mented, "These revolutionaries don't need National Guardsmen to push them back." No one made any attempt to open the Russell House. The crowd just grouped on the street. The crowd, reasoning that it was theirs, took over the street. Twenty minutes after the crowd had sat down in the street, the police arrived. A few policemen sprinted forward to get behind the walls adjacent to the street. In an apparent maneuver to surround the crowd, National Guardsmen had circled around the tenements and biology and pharmacy building to block off Green Street by the Old Gym. Immediately these guardsmen fired tear gas into the standing crowd. The crowd scattered in many directions; by the un dergraduate library, the back of the Russell House, down to the girls' quadrangle and the street by University Terrace. Two demonstrators in gas masks went around giving out in structions about tear gas and vaseline. The vaseline was to be put under one's eyes and nose to absorb the gas. With the tear gas getting too bad around the Russell House and its grounds, the crowd regrouped on Sumter Street between the Men's Towers and the fraternity houses. Viewing the demonstrators, the policemen moved down to desperse the crowd. Canisters of tear gas moved the crowd back down the street. Several canisters landed in the dormitories, much to the outcry of the uninvolved tenents. The guardsmen moved down the street to occupy the position previously held by the demonstrators. Shooting more tear gas into both the crowd and the Honeycombs, the guardsmen pushed the crowd back to Main -,,wz-wm=---News iosen for ( South Carolina Bankers Association.

Te guardsmen stationed by the swimming pool were shooting canisters when three policemen, who had concealed themselves behind the Physical Science Building, burst forward. A group of ten, who had been caught by surprise, ran towards the Towers. One fellow tripped and, not being able to get up, covered his head with his arms to ward off the blows of the policemen's billy sticks. The hits opened a large gash in the youth's forehead. Two demon strators, yelling at the policemen, returned and took the fallen demonstrator to a hospital. Looking for a car the demon strators came upon a vacated police car. Running the car's emergency light, the car sped away to a hospital. At 2 a.m. Student Body President, Mike Spears, came to confer with the remainin 150 demonstrators. He asked the demonstrators to go home. He got a very hostile reaction. He offered to escort anyone who wanted to go back to the Horseshoe to their tenement. Nobody replied.

He also claimed that the National Guardsmen were "our age." Seeing that he did not have many sympathetic ears, Spears left. The crowd, growing smaller by every a.m. minute, looked tired and sleepy.

We draw a sharp line between peaceful protest and organized violence," William Medlin, president of the USC Democrats, said in a news release Monday. "A University of all places. should be free of force and coercion," he said. While the USC Democrats can not support violence, many are angered by "denials of due process on campus, by personal attacks from public officials on our faculty, and the killing of four of our fellow students at Kent State," according to Medlin. The statement called for the USC Young Republicans to halt their "strike back" movement for the USC Strike Committee to contain or expell students who have demonstrated a commitment to violence and for the USC Ad ministration and law enforcement authorities to act to free the campus from the danger of the presence of a "number of non student professional revolutionaries." Medlin said that students across the country are frustrated by the Vietnam war. "Continued frustration when seeking to work within the Democratic political system leaves many students wide open to appeals by violent revolutionaries to destroy that system." he said. Many older people do not realize how great this frustration is, ac cording to Medlin. "Some fail to see that the very war which seeks to destroy communism in Southeast Asia is fanning the flames of communism here at home." he said.

The statement decried "irresponsible elements" and "radical agitators" attempting to, respectively, "disrupt and control our university" and aid "enemies of this country in an effort to demoralize the American people." Richard Hines, vice president of the USC Young Republicans, signed the statement. A press release which accompanied the statement announced "USC back Nixon week." The week will feature a memorial service for the soldiers who have died in Vietnam on Friday. LAW STUDENTS About 100 USC law students have expressed their concern about Solicitor John Foard's remarks after the UFO trial in a letter to The State. The letter said that "inference could be drawn from the Solicitor's statements that certain professors at local institutions who testified in behalf of the defendants at the UFO trial should be "reassessed as to their suitability" by their respective schools. The students feel that the Solicitor's remarks "may be in terpreted as 'intimidation of witnesses.' " The law students said that if the "solicitor feels these witnesses did not tell the truth" or "distorted the facts" he should file charges of perjury against them.
