Many Students Jailed InDaytona Disturbance
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — (UPI) Police said today they arrested more than 100 college students whose annual frolics on the beaches got out of hand yesterday resulting in a mellee broken up by club-swinging police.
Police Chief A. O. Folsom Jr. said those arrested were booked on charges ranging from disorderly conduct and unlawful assembly and attempting to start a riot.
But the chief denied that there actually was a riot.
"THEY JUST got out of line," Folsom said.
The candidates for student body president and vice-president will debate in Ellsworth hall tonight following a request by some of its residents for them to appear there.
"They jumped on the police to start with but we were ready and
The campaign will wind up when the candidates, Bob Stewart, Bartesville, Okla., junior, and Kaye Whitaker, Wichita junior, UP candidates for president and vice-president, and Marshall Crowther, Lawrence second year law student, and Jim Cline, Rockford, Ill., junior, Vox candidates for president and vice-president, debate at 6 p.m. at Corbin Hall and at 6:45 p.m. at Gertrude Sellards Pearson hall.
Thursday night some of the residents of the large men's residence hall circulated a petition to have the candidates debate in their hall. The political parties accepted and the debate will be at 10 p.m.
Debate Set At Ellsworth
Charles Whitman, Shawnee Mission senior and UP general secretary, said the UP candidates had made "prior commitments" and had informed Vox that UP could not meet the time schedule.
The elections for student body president and vice-president. All Student Council school representatives, and class officers will be Wednesday and Thursday. Polls will be located in the Murphy lobby, the Union lobby, and Strong rotunda. They will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. both days.
Vox candidates and party representatives appeared for debates in the freshman women's dorms last Thursday, but University Party candidates and representatives did not.
Election returns are expected by 11 p.m. Thursday, Dick King, Kansas City sophomore and elections chairman, said.
GROWTH RESPONSIBILITY VOX
Folsom estimated the crowd of collegians at 75,000. They were packed along a beach running little more than two miles in an Easter Vacation frolic that has become a tradition at Florida beaches.
Authorities said approximately 1,000 collegians have been arrested since the annual migration began a week ago.
"I SAW AT LEAST a half dozen students clubbed by police and knocked unconscious," said Carl Warner of UPI newsfilm. "I saw one student who was apparently drunk or asleep and an officer asked him to move. The guy woke up about half way and the cop clubbed him."
Police moved in with motorcycles and squad cars to break up "blanket tossing."
But Folsom said no student or policeman was hurt.
"Whatever they claim is untrue," the chief said. "Things are back to normal now."
"We announced to them what the law was over the loud speaker and then we dispersed the crowd and arrested the agitators."
Bret Dark, 21, of Chicago and a student at Northern Illinois University, said the melee started from two incidents.
