The protesters, made up of three groups, including one from USC, chanted slogans like."Reagan. Reagan, you cali't hide. We charge you with genocide." The July 19 Coalition, as the group was called, was made up of USC's Internationlist Committee Against Imperialism and Oppression, the Prince of Peace Alliance of Greenville and the Grass Roots Organizing Workshop. Groups from other states supported the protest but were unable to attend, Michael Gooding, a member of the ICAIO coordinating committee, said.

GOODING SAID the group protested the university's role because the conference was purely an administrative deal with the State Department, and no academic department co-sponsored it. The group chanted and displayed signs reading, "Stop U.S. Intervention. Self-determination For All Peoples," "Hail the Heroic Uprising of the Dominican and Haitan Masses," and ''PhD For Reaean. Degree For Seaea. Conference For Caribbean Dictators, Are You Looking For a Job, Holderman?" Mike Kessler and David Swane, two Citadel students, made signs reading, "Do Mom a Favor, Kill A Commie" and "Mondale, the Pinko" and stood alongiside members of the coalition. Security personnel spoke to the two once after they saw some pushing. The coalition had met with USC law enforcement earlier to ensure that an incident like the one during Reagan's last visit, when a group of protestors was attacked, would not be repeated. i I 4" v% m a 4?
