Protestors, police clash . . . Continued from Page 1 Eugene Police Capt. Pat Larion then walked into the crowd of demonstrators, telling them over a loudspeaker, “We will go home if you go home. This is stupid.” Allen, who was without battle garb and in the middle of the crowd, then spoke as demonstrators gathered around: “We have no objection to your conducting a dmonstration, if it’s orderly and quiet. I concur with your right to demonstrate peacefully. If you assure us you will be peaceful, then we will go home.” Interrupted continually by taunts and chants, Allen also told the crowd that the non-violent demonstration last Saturday in the Eugene mall was a success.

That was the way to do it.

One, calling himself a “brother” told the crowd to “act like you’re peaceable—not like a bunch of animals.” Ron Eachus said, “I’m not going to stand here and accept the fact we shouldn’t do anything to alienate” and urged the people into the streets to protest the war. One demonstrator urged the crowd to build another fire. In response, Allen said, “A bonfire will only cause them to come back in.” He told reporters he could not stand by and let the crowd fizzle out, because the fire would be blocking a public street. At 11 p.m., the fire was relit. Police returned to escort a fire truck down the street, walking in front of the vehicle without gas masks and clubs. Demonstrators hurled rocks, bottles, cans and glass at the firemen, fire truck and policemen. Allen led the police again without battle guard. A fire hose was turned on the fire, but also went into the crowd, quirting the demonstrators and causing some to withdraw. Hie firemen and police pulled back at 11:40p.m. without totally dousing the fire. One window in the fire truck was cracked by a thrown object. About 150 people remained.

Art Bushnell Editor Marcus Wright Business Manager FOR AN INDEPENDENT WORKING SENATOR ELECT BILL WEINSTEIN At-Large Position No. 8 At the morning demonstration, 20 demonstrators occupied the ROTC building at 7:30 a.m. Capt. Oakley Glenn, co-ordinator of the University’s office of Campus Security reported two doors had been sprayed with paint and a lock had been broken as a result of vandalism. An 11 a.m. EMU rally, attended by about 250 persons, quickly halted after word was received that police had arrived at the ROTC building and the group moved to the Army ROTC headquarters. Ten police officers and two detectives guarded the building, some armed with shotguns. One canister of tear gas was thrown at the crowd when a group of protestors attempted to shove their way past three police officers standing in the doorway. Officer struck One police officer was hit in the rim of his hat with a rock, but was unhurt. Another policeman was hit over the head with a stick. He was also wearing his helmet and was not hurt. Several demon strators were momentarily overcome by the tear gas. The crowd outside quickly dispersed and police ordered the protestors remaining inside to leave the building. There were no arrests and they joined the other demonstrators in a march downtown. Chanting “1-2-3-4, we don’t want your f—ing war”, about 300 marchers proceeded down 11th Avenue to the Selective Service Headquarters at 1065 High Street. The building was closed when they arrived, as was the Internal Revenue offices, another target. The doors to the Selective Service Headquarters were soldered shut, but some demonstrators remained blocking the building. Majority leaves A large crowd of demon strators then congregated at the military recruiting offices at Uth Avenue and Willamette Street. Many protestors circled the building, chanting “Shut it down now, stop the war,” while others were admitted into the various recruiting offices. At about 12:30 p.m. the majority of the marchers left for the Internal Revenue building at 15th and Pearl Streets. The crowd still numbered about 200 persons. While police with riot shields kept one land of traffic open on Pearl Street, demonstrators blocked the front and back doors and sat in the street.
