The SpECT UM Vol. 20, No. 59 (diversity of New York at Buffalo February 26,1970 II Campus and city police battled students here for at least three hours last night, resulting in at least 17 arrests and several injuries. Campus police entered Norton Hall shortly before 9 pm, scattering occupants of the main floor, and making two arrests. City police surrounded and eventually envaded the student union an hour later. City and Erie County police remained on campus throughout the night. A partial list of those arrested includes: Tom Kearns, 3rd degree assault, disorderly conduct; Terry Keegan, disorderly conduct; Barry Koran, possession of a dangerous weapon; David Shaw and Lawrence Harris incitement to riot. Lawyer Willard Myers, who was posting bail for the jailed students, was charged with first degree riot. A high-level administrative meeting in Acheson Hall early this morning resulted in Acting President Peter F. Regan calling for an investigation into the evening’s events. No one, however, would admit to giving the campus police the first order to evacuate Norton Hall. Administrative sources indicated that it was the campus police who exercised their perogative to call for city re-inforcements, in cases of violence. Rallies and forums are scheduled for today. Classes have not been cancelled as of this writing. INVASION! Terrv Keeaan is arrested in the lobby of the student union by campus police last night, the charge diiorderlyoonduct.
