Bushwhackers?
Some people just don't read signs. And remember, that and parking can get one in a lot of trouble with tickets from policemen or maybe bushwhackers.
Support grows for moratorium
OTTAWA (UP)—Ottawa University Wednesday cancelled Oct. 15 classes in response to a student-faculty petition calling for support of "the national Vietnamese moratorium."
A majority vote of the faculty favored the proposal initiated by the student council.
The petition, alluding to "undersigned student, faculty and administrative members," said that "as concerned human beings affected by events outside the university we call on the university to stand against any form of the destruction of human life and especially against organized warfare."

CHICAGO (UPI)—An undercover agent testified Wednesday that Yppie leader Jerry Rubin exhorted antiwar demonstrators to "kill the pigs" as police and thousands of protesters clashed in a wild mace in Grant Park during Democratic National Convention week.
Robert Pierson, who said he served as "bodyguard" to two demonstration leaders during the 1968 rioting, also told a federal court jury that Black Panther leader Bobby Seale urged protesters to "buy 357 magnums, 45 caliber pistols and carbines and take to the streets."
Pierson, a husky policeman attached to the Cook County state's attorney's office, said he infiltrated into the core of the protest ranks by growing a beard, letting his hair grow long, donning a black leather jacket and passing himself off as a member of a motorcycle gang.
During the first three days of the convention, he testified, he walked side by side with demonstration leaders as a guard for Rubin and Abbott "Abbie" Hoffman, another leader of the Youth International Party Yippies.
Rubin, Hoffman, Seale and five other men are on trial before U.S. District Court Judge Julius J. Hoffman on charges of conspiring to incite the riots that swept Chicago streets and parks.
Pierson testified that early in the week Rubin said demonstrators should corner one or two policemen and kill them. When rioting erupted in Grant Park on Wednesday, he said, Rubin jumped up and down and screamed:
"Kill the pigs! Kill the pigs!"
In a between-sessions news conference, Rubin said he "never suggested that anyone be killed."
He admitted to newsmen that Plerson served as his bodyguard, but said the policeman was an "agent provocateur" who, in his testimony, was "on a fantasy trip."

Tuesday of convention week, "We must become fighters and take to the streets." On the same day in North Side Lincoln Park, Pierson said, Seale spoke to about 1,000 hippies, yippies and other anti-war protesters.

"Look at that fat pig. We should isolate one or two of the pigs and kill them."
