vagrancy. Students from Wichita State University (WSU), Sacred Heart College and area high schools participated.
The protest was aimed at Greater Downtown Wichita Inc. (GDW), an association of Wichita merchants. It stemmed from the hiring of off-duty police officers who were to protect the business district from vandals and shoplifters.
"Citizens for Justice," a student organization formed from the WSU Committee for Human Rights, directed the protest.

Ron Holmes, WSU freshman and chairman of the group, said, "a policy of harassment by the Wichita businesses brought about our protest.
He said the purpose of the demonstration was to urge people to boycott downtown businesses. "The boycott will continue until all citizens have equal access to the public streets and sidewalks of downtown Wichita," he said.
"Off-duty cops single out young people in the downtown area who have long hair and freaky clothes, and arrest them for vagrancy if they don't have five dollars on them." he said.
Although the protest lasted from noon to 1 p.m., there were no major incidents. But, traffic was heavy, because curious spectators drove by to watch.
Demonstrators marched around a single block in the middle of the business district They passed out leaflets telling what one should do if arrested. Some leaflets also urged boycott and others suggested an alliance between students and workers "whom the big business ruling-class oppresses."
"The students have had an effect," said Holmes, "even if it isn't obvious just yet."
