September, 1970
DISSENT AND UNREST ON TFIE CAMPUS, 1931—1970
Dissent, unrest and disruption did not develop suddenly on The Ohio State University campus in the spring of 1970, just aft:er the peak of the Centennial Year.
Division of a sort might even be said to have had a beginning in the ouster of
President Walter Q. Scott in June, 1883. This was because of his failure to conduct daily compulsory chapel as the Trustees had ordered, and because of his espousal of nonconformist economic ideas as embodied in Henry George’s Single Tax proposal.
The repercussions of the Scott ouster reached into the governor’s office and newspaper columns, But while he was permitted to “resign” shortly he did not regain his job and he was not even accorded the courtesy of being named president emeritus until 1909.
From time to time there was a division of opinion over compulsory military training. At one early point even the legislature made it optional but this did not last long. It was not until the ‘Thirties that the anti—military movement grew to real proportions.
In 1930—31 a number of issues came rapidly to a head. These were free speech, compulsory drill, and the ouster of Professor Herbert A. Miller, of Sociology.
Externally these matters were unrelated, but it was not long before those involved in them found a certain amount of common ground. Unfortunately this was also a time of. financial stringency because of the depression and many University services were curtailed seriously.
The Free Voice, a dissident student weekly newspaper, appeared at 15th Avenue and High Street in January, 1931. Since it was unauthorized it could not be peddled on the campus side of High Street. It was small publication that sold for a nickel.
Among those on its staff were such later notables as Earl Wilson, the Broadway columnist, and Ruth McKenney, the author. Compared with publications a generation

University, had given affront by talks he had made on the campus that summer.
Rugg was accused of being un—American and a Board resolution condemned the invitation to him as “not in accord with the traditions and objectives” of the University.
Two incidents in the early ‘Sixties proved that at times student feeling had a low boiling point. In November, 1961 after Ohio State had won the Big Ten football title and thus qualified for the Rose Bowl game, the Faculty Council voted against letting the team go to Pasadena. This led to a major demonstration on the campus and a march on the Statehouse by an estimated 7,000 students. It was said that the “riot” cost the city up to $10,000 in damages and police overtime. Even a glass front door on the Faculty Club was broken.
In February, 1964 another demonstration followed the arrest the day before of a coed for jaywalking. She had gotten the ticket the previous quarter but never paid it. The offense had occurred on High Street near 15th Avenue. The afternoon after the arrest, when she was taken to the police station in a “paddy wagon”, hundreds of students began to gather near the intersection. They lined both sides of the street shouting, “We’ll win. We can’t be beat. Where we want we’ll cross the street,” along with “Red Rover, Red Rover. You kids cross over.”
Traffic came to a standstill at the rush hour after radio news cars and TV cameras arrived. It was said that 4,000 students lined one block of High Street and filled the street. Nearly a score of trolley buses and as many autos were blocked by the demonstrators. The disorder lasted seven hours.
Another 200 students paraded downtown to enter a protest at the police station.
Later seven students were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct. As an aftermath
—3— two students were suspended from school and five, were put on disciplinary probation.
In May, 1964 some hundreds of students were drawn to the Oval for a civil rights rally. There was an hour of speeches, folk—singin g and a march to the campus postoffice to mail pleas to U.S. Senator Frank J. Lausche, of Ohio. It was said that payment of $50 was required for police protection before the rally could be held. But the police merely took some pictures and watched the faces of the crowd.
There were no incidents; in fact, a sand—lot soccer game went on nearby during the rally.
In the spring of 1964 also, a weekly soapbox forum was held on the Oval near Hayes Hall. Anyone was permitted to have his say. These peaceful dialogues, if that is what they were, served a purpose but they drew small crowds who stood or lolled about on the grass. But there were no demonstrations and no disorder such as occurred later. Rumblings of discontent over the Speakers’ Rule continued intermittently but with no serious untoward incident until 1965. That spring a new group which called itself the Free Speech Front staged two sit—ins in the Administration Building in seven days. On April 28 that year an estimated 300 students began by sitting outside
President Fawcett’s office. Some stayed all night. The Free Speech Front was not recognized by the University but its spokesmen said this was their way of trying to get the Speakers’ Rule made unrestrictive, i.e., toothless. The Trustees, who that month invited the Faculty Advisory Council to make suggestions on the problem, had agreed to consider proposals to change the rule at their July meeting, but the Free Speech Front said this was too late and wanted immediate action. The demonstrators were peaceful. They even observed the cordoned—off aisles that had been arranged on the second floor of the building and when their numbers grew too large, 50 of them took up their vigil on the first floor. Late in the evening all of the demonstrators went there. Outside the building some 200
—4— picketers marched until well into the evening. More than a score of the demonstrators spent the night there.
This Free Speech Front protest had begun with a rally on April 14 when the group demanded that the rule be changed within three weeks so as to require only 72 hours’ notification of the appearance of a guest speaker. But the next week, with a crowd estimated at 2,000, demand was made for immediate change in the rule. This followed word of plans to invite Dr. Herbert Aptheker, national director of the American Institute for Marxist Studies, and that he had been, in effect, banned from the campus. The Students for Liberal Action had planned to have him on the campus May 11 in an apparent test of the rule. But Vice President John E. Corbally wrote to SLA’s faculty advieer that Aptheker probably would not be permitted to speak. Agitation over changes in or abandonment of the Speakers’ Rule continued.
On May 10 Aptheker spoke off campus but made no mention of the Speakers’ Rule or that he had been barred twice from the campus. The Free Speech Front vowed to bring him back to the campus later in the month but President Fawcett warned its leaders that if Aptheker spoke they would be “subject to disciplinary action.”
On May 21 arrangements had been made for him to appear on the Oval where a small platform had been erected. Then it rained. In the chapel, a graduate student read from one of Aptheker’s books borrowed from the library. Aptheker appeared from back stage, stood briefly and then departed, escorted by State Highway Patrolmen.
He went directly to High Street where he entered a car and left. It was reported that a telephone caller told the president’s office he would be there in 10 minutes to shoot Aptheker. Again the Free Speech Front promised that Aptheker would return in July but he did not.
Earlier (May 3) the Student Senate sponsored a rally on the Oval on the
—5— Speaker’s Rule issue. On May Day, May 6, the Free Speech Front arranged for a teach—in with the twin objectives of protesting against the rule and hTeducatingT students as to “the best interests of the University.” Six faculty members spoke at hourly sessions in the chapel. On May 13, at their monthly meeting, the Trustees declined to change their reconsideration of the rule scheduled for July. While they were meeting, about 100 faculty members picketed outside the Administration
Building. By mid—May pressure for a change in the rule and backing for Free
Speech Front had come from 21 student and five faculty groups, including a petition signed by 428 faculty members, as well as support from Ohio newspapers and even from students in other colleges.
By a vote of 5 to 3, the Trustees, in effect, retained the Speakers’ Rule at their July 8 meeting when they rejected propsed changes recommended by President
Fawcett. These had the support also of the Faculty Advisory Committee and other groups. The decision brought more criticism of the University and of the Board.
But at their September 14 meeting at Wooster, the Trustees agreed to two major changes in the rule. One was that recognized student organizations could invite guest speakers to the campus for addresses after consultation with and approval of their faculty advisers. This relieved the president of having to decide which guest speakers were or were not in the “best interest” of the University. And where situations were “attended by extreme emotional feeling,” the Faculty Advisory Committee was to be responsible for the orderly and scholarly conduct of such meetings but it was not to choose the speaker or his subject. This time the vote was 4 to 3.
Aptheker, previously banned from speaking on the campus, was the first outsider to speak there under the modified rule. Under auspices of the Students for Liberal Action he spoke October 18 in Hughes Hall auditorium. His topic was

This was partly to protest the presence on the campus of Marine Corps recruiters and representatives of firms such as the Dow Chemical Company making war supplies
(napalm) for the Defense Department. This kind of thing was occurring also on other campuses. This type of demonstration was tied in with growing opposition and resistance to United States involvement in the war in Vietnam.
On January 22 some 50 peace demonstrators gathered in the lobby of the main library to protest the presence of United States Marine Corps recruiters. On the first day there was no trouble but on the second the protesters blocked the aisle to the recruiters’ table. This was in violation of the rule requiring demonstrators to keep a path open to the recruiting tables. The next day (January 24) the protest broke out in Denney Hall, where violence occurred for the first time. This resulted when several male demonstrators traded punches with a man who allegedly kicked a female protester in the face.
A dialogue of sorts which in two years was to reach mass proportions and result in extreme violence began in January, 1968 also. On February 1 about 60 Negro students called at the office of Dr. John T. Bonner, Jr., executive dean for student relations, to discuss greivances black students on the campus. In a 90—minute meeting they submitted a list of eight improvements they desired: more Negroes on the faculty, courses in Negro history, an end to discrimination by off—campus landloids, more Negroes in administration especially counseling, recognition of
“Negro History Week” and “Brotherhood Week,” more Ohio Union music of the kind preferred by Negroes, and so on.
Six days after the meeting with Bonner, nearly a score of Negro students conferred with Dr. Corbally, provost and academic vice president. This had to do with the objectives outlined to Bonner. Their chief complaint was that there were
—8— too few blacks in administration and teaching and a disproportionate number in what they called menial posts. Corbally said he would work “with appropriate administrators to see that action is taken instead of just looking into the situation.” He called the. discussion with the blacks “excellent”
Police arrested 11 persons January 31 after a group failed to break up a demonstration against Navy recruiting in Hamilton Hall. Dean Richard L. Meiling
(Medicine) asked them to leave the college office. When they did not do so Security Officer Marion Curry cited the Ohio trespass law and ordered them to leave.
Some did but police moved in and made the arrests. Two more were added when they ignored orders to get away from the bus holding those arrested. President Fawcett in a statement called the police action in full accord with Univeristy policy, noting that the matter was under the jurisdiction of the civil courts.
On February 7 when Navy recruiters appeared in Hitchcock Hall protesters staged a “mill—in.” This time instead of sitting—in they milled around the recruiters’ table. Eleven were arrested when they first ignored a request and then orders to leave. The same trespass law was invoked against them.
When Dow Chemical recruiters came to Denney Hall on February 22, the protests took a new form. This time there was no violence but among the 50 who demonstrated a few carried scorched dolls and a rubber face mask resembling President Lyndon
Johnson. They also wore black crepe paper armbands and had a black plywood coffin.
About 15 other students began an “anti—peace” demonstration in a dormitory with a sign which read, in part, “Kill for peace,” when members of the Committee to End the
War in Vietnam tried to pass out anti—war literature. The arrests brought pleas from faculty members that the trespass charges against the students be dropped. President Fawcett was asked to name a committee to formulate policies as to the arrests. He complied February 20 by appointing a 13—member committee on Rights and Responsibilities. There had been a rally on the Oval,
—9— meanwhile, to protest the arrests.
On March 6 about 100 Negroes, representing the Black Student Union, met with
University officials, including Dean Bonner and others, in Stiliman Hall. The blacks charged the University with racism. The administration pledged renewed support toward ending discriminatory practices on the campus. In view of what was to come a month later, it is significant that John Evans, a student, was moderator of themeeting.
April, 1968 proved to be a momentous month on the campus. Early that month
unsigned handbills appeared proclaiming, in part, “RALLY — OSU — WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10 —
OVAL — IT’S TIME STUDENTS ARISE — CONFRONTTHE SICK SOCIETY — WAR — RACISM —
EDUCATIONAL DEHUMANIZATION.” Intelligence sources said the backers, allegedly connected with the leftist Students for a Democratic Society (SOS), were seeking an attendance of 10,000, including students from other Ohio colleges, at the rally and that violence might result. There were also emotional overtones because of the recent assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King. On April 9 classes were dismissed until 4 p.m. to let those interested take part in memorial exercises for Dr. King.
University authorities began to consider also what to do to protect buildings and property.
By Wednesday morning, April 10, the Administration Building was in a state of security with guards at each door. Visitors had to identify themselves and state their business before they could get in. Students were told to come back the next day. The tighter security was ordered by the State Highway Patrol, incidentally, and not by University officials.
About 100 students gathered at noon on the Oval. Shortly they moved to a spot opposite the Administration Building. Toward 1 p.m. other students helped to swell the gathering to about 500. Meanwhile, some 900 National Cuardsrnen were
—10— standing by at the State Fair Grounds with 100 State Highway Patrolmen at Mershon Auditorium.
At the rally a number of speakers recited the “transgressions” of the
University. When it was reported they had been locked out of the Administration Building, the throng moved to the sidewalk immediately in front of it where there was more protest speaking. A sophomore read a list of five “demands”: dropping charges against those arrested earlier at Hitchcock Hall, enforcement of open housing rules for off—campus housing, no use of off—campus police to stop student disturbances, the University was not to compel students to live in dormitories, and an inquiry into complaints by Sociology faculty of alleged coercive policies there.
Word came from President Fawcett that he was willing to confer with students at any time. But he emphasized that he was “not going to conduct the business of the University on the Oval or at a rally.” Three “spokesmen” for the protesters went into the building to present the “demands” to University officials. Out front a tussle followed when one group tried to lower the flag in front of the building to half staff and another sought to raise it to full—staff and gathered at the base of the pole to protect the colors. Not long afterward a hard shower came up and the crowd melted away.
On April 12 the list of “demands” was answered at a special news conference called by Dr. Fawcett. Vice Presidents Corbally and Carson, and Dean Bonner also took part. On trespassing Dr. Fawcett noted that University policy permitted divergent views. He pointed out that no one had been arrested until after being warned. He added that the administration would continue to seek better campus law and order policies. Bonner said that all residence halls and Buckeye Village apartments were completely integrated and the University had created an office to help students file protests against off—campus segregation.
—11— As to compulsory dormitory housing, Carson recalled that in the early 1Sixties students complained about the housing shortage and the newer dormitories were built to meet this need. The only way to pay for such facilities was from rental income and the University had to be sure enough rooms were rented to meet revenue bond payments. On the policing issue he observed that the Univeristy had only 32 men on its force. This was inadequate to protect the campus in an emergency which was where, by statute, the State Highway Patrol came in. On the Sociology department, Corbally held that the procedures used “were within the grounds of academic decision” and his office had found no irregularities.
For a while it looked as though a major confrontation had been avoided. Then came Friday, April 26 when some 75 members of the Black Student Union, in effect, took over the Administration Building for five hours and held Vice President Carson and two secretaries prisoner. This incident began at 9 a.m. The situation was complicated at noon when 75 anti—Vietnam protesters, mostly white, surged onto the first floor of the building. It was the blacks, however, who took over control of the building, even to wiring the outside doors shut with coat hangers and pasting newspapers inside the doors so that no one on the outside could see in. The issue involving the blacks arose from complaints arising from an incident on a campus bus two nights before. Four Negro girls allegedly were talking loudly on the bus whose driver asked them to stop. When they did not do so, they were put off the bus and campus police were called. The next day the Negroes said they were kept out of the campus police station when they called to complain about the bus incident.
Complaint was then made to Vice President Carson who agreed to discuss the matter with a committee of five the following morning, April 26.
At 9 a.m. , the hour set, 41 Negro students filled Carsons office. He was told that he could not leave and was denied the use of his telephone. The blacks declared they would stay until the employes in question — the bus driver, police officer, and an administrative official — were fired and the University apologized for the —12- want various University, problems negotiating not have Highway been administration and an and room let the permitted unable but aware Cleveland Carson’s incident. effort would University face’ campus the did under contact it to Vice Inside At of to white Patrolmen confused programs not get would what first second-floor the include get to attending to discussion policeman President The was out. agreed get with negotiate the leave unique was protesters back would be agreed not protesters under into with building, undertaken were in representatives students; occurring many by upon to a would operation problems provide Corbally the way. meeting. prior to the five office. the standing the working their building. onto enlarge doors hung anti—war matter. meanwhile, points get by They areview on to the confronting and return. the by a the special the the by but He on Lantern asserted its sign, May named three to second matter.

About 5:30 p.m. the Negroes began to leave the building, shouting that they
had won their demands. At that point TV cameramen were admitted to the building
but not newspaper photographers. In the only scuffle earlier a camera was taken
from a TV cameraman who was shooting footage of a Black Student Union spokesman.
This film was removed and destroyed.
The Board of Trustees met in special evening session April 30 to discuss the
April 26 Administration Building takeover. Acting Chairman John W. Bricker said the meeting had been “called to consider any action which might be taken in light
of the tragic and illegal occupation” of the building the previous Friday. Two matters were to be considered: “What shall be done with those who violated their responsibilities as citizens and illegally trespassed upon this property to the infringement oi the rights of others; and to consider suggested rules and regulations to be presented by President Fawcett.”
Dr. Fawcett said that in his view “This kind of lawlessness cannot be
condoned.” He then presented three rules pertaining to such conditions which the
Faculty Council had approved unanimously in special session that afternoon. The rules, having to do with group disruption, individual disruption, and the creation of a committee on discipline, were referred to a Board committee consisting of three
attorney—members. In further action, the Board directed Dr. Fawcett and the
administration “to immediately make an investigation as to the conduct of all and every person who participated in the events of last Friday with the idea that after
the investigation has been completed appropriate action can be taken so that any
person involved will have an opportunity for a full and fair hearing and trial. Further that such action may result in such discipline as appears appropriate under
the circumstances after such a hearing. -14- At the May 9 Board meeting, Dr. Fawcett reported relative to the April 26
“seizure” that “We are proceeding in accord with the direction of the Board and with the rules of the University.”
A related issue which developed involved Assistant Professor David E. Green, of History, who allegedly burned his draft card in an 11 a.m. class. He gave as his reason for doing so the assassination of Dr. King. Green was in his first year in the department and did not have tenure. But he injected himself into the race issue by taking part in demonstrations in front of the Administration Building and by giving an address in Hitchcock Hall on “Racism and the Student Community.” As an aftermath of this a local TV cameraman was manhandled and beaten there. For this several black students were arrested later. Green’s case was investigated by a faculty committee and his contract was not renewed. He spoke later in other classes after sympathizers contributed to a fund for him.
Other re].ated developments in the tempestuous April—May period were: The Administration Building continued under State Highway Patrol Guard.
On May 2 it was announced that the annual- R.O.T.C. review would be moved
to the intramural athletic fields. The decision stood in the face of mounting
pressure to drop the event but when the time came two days of heavy rains canceled the review.
As of May 3, President Fawcett set up a 5—member faculty and staff committee, with Ma-i-ion L. Smith, associate dean of Engineering as chairman, to conduct hearings on April 26 takeover.
John S. Evans, leader of the Black Student Union, was arrested by F.B.I. agents
May 10 on a charge of failing to report for induction.
The Franklin County grand jury began an inquiry into the April 26 takeover to determine whether it was warranted in taking action. It visited the Administration
—15— Building and called 14 witnesses.
Nine students were found guilty of trespassing Nay 16 in Columbus municipal court growing out of the February 7 anti—Navy recruitment demonstration in
Hitchcock Hall. On May 30 they drew 15—day workhouse sentences, $35 each in fines and $35 in costs. In April similar findings were made against students involved in the Hamilton Hall trespassing incident. For two students the workhouse sentence was dropped and cut to three days for the other seven.
A tragic but unrelated event at the time was a fire May 22 on the 11th floor of Lincoln Tower, one the twin high rise dormitories, in which two co—eds died.
It was officially determined that it was a case of arson involving another freshman co—ed who was later committed to Lima State Hospital.
On the last day of Nay the county grand jury returned secret indictments against 34 black students involved in the April 26 takeover of the Administration Building. Twelve counts were placed against each, including unlawful detention, conspiracy to abduct,blackmail, and making menacing threats. Evans, the Black
Student Union leader, was the first of the accused to be taken into custody. The president of the Columbus N.A.A.C.P. chapter called the indictments “selective law enforcement in its most brutal form.” The Black Student Union held a public meeting in St. Philip’s Episcopal Church to air its side of the controversy.
Meanwhile the Ad Hoc Majority for Law and Order had been organzied. After the grand jury action this group presented President Fawcett with a petition with 800 signatures asking that the 34 indicted students be dismissed from the University.
The bus driver and campus policemen accused of mistreating the four black women students earlier in the spring were cleared of all charges and were reinstated.
Early in June, as spring final exams began, some 120 persons, including some faculty, protested the indictments against the 34 black students by picketing in front of the Administration Building. This was under the sponsorship of a newly

The discipline committee was to consist of six members named by the president and be made up of four faculty members, one student and an administrator. It was to
“hear on first appeal” student discipline cases where an appeal was taken by an appropriate University official or by a student from any disciplinary action by any proper authority but only in cases where the original penalty was suspension, dismissal or expulsion. The committeewas to have original jurisdiction over cases of alleged student violation of the disruption rules on charges brought by authorized University personnel — police, staff or faculty — and was to “determine whether such rules have been violated.” Upon a temporary hearing it could order immediate suspension pending a full hearing. The student was to have due notice of the charges against him with an opportunity to defend himself.
At this same meeting President Fawcett reported on the status of the 34 students charged with having taken part in the April 26 Administration Building “lock—in.”
He said that disciplinary action had been taken against eight, of whom two had been dismissed for academic failure and two had withdrawn from the University. The records of the other four had been “tagged” to prevent their readmission without special consent of the chief student personnel officer. Of the remaining 26, 10 had been dismissed for academic reasons and five had withdrawn from the University. Their records had been “tagged” also. Under long standing University rule none of these names were disclosed.
On July 11, meanwhile, the Trustees upon the recommendation of President
Fawcett, had dismissed Assistant Professor David E. Green. A special faculty committee had investigated Green’s activities and had found that he had burned his draft card in class and was guilty of other questionable activities, including a “serious lack of judgment.” Despite this, the committee recommended that Green be
—18— put “on probation in a disciplinary sense.” Dr. Fawcett declined to go along with this, and recommended that Green, under the rules, be let out after a year’s notice unless the Board voted otherwise. The Board unanimously passed a motion that Green be discharged, “effective iniinediately.” In time a fund was raised for him and during the next school year he appeared before some classes of other faculty members. There seemed to be no rule against this.
At an ad hoc faculty committee meeting, a resolution proposed the establishment of a student—faculty sponsored professorship for Green. Another called for a petition to ask Dr. Fawcett to reverse a decision to dismiss eight students involved in the April take—over of the Administration Building. A third sought amnesty for the dismissed students, re—employment of Green, and urged that the new disruption rules approved in July be rescinded. In September, President Fawcett stressed the fact that the University would respect the right to engage take part in peaceful protests. But he emphasized that demonstrations inside campus buildings must be looked upon as disruptive and as violating the new rules on student behavior adopted, in July. “We cannot permit dissent that is a facade for the disruption of the work of the University,” he said. “Rallies,, picketing and other peaceful demonstrations out—of—doors will be permitted as long as participants do not block the entrances to buildings or interfere with the free movement of other persons.”
After a 6—month study, the Committee on Rights and Responsibilities in October presented a report with 53 recommendations. The 13—member committee consisted eleven from the faculty and administration, plus two students. In addition, it had five adjunct student members. On student and faculty attitudes, the committee commented:
“What many students . . . seem to want more than anything else is rights as well as responsibilities.” Twenty—eight recommendations had to do with a judicial code and concurrent jurisdiction.
—19— The committee rendered six judgments, as follows: “1, We expect an accentuation of student demands for attention to their educational interests and for participation in making policies governing their educational institutions; 2, We expect that our prescriptions, if timely, are time—limited; 3, We expect the rise of student participation to be accompanied by continuing conflict; 4, Nor can we expect that any current resolution of the power struggle on our campus will be a permanent one; 5, We expect the increasfng introduction of public—interest criteria into the governance of private or quasi—public institutions; 6, We expect the demonstrations are here to stay as a valid, acceptable mode of expression.??
That fall Vice President John T. Mount (Student Affairs) announced the readmission of one of the eight black students dismissed for their part in the April 26 takeover. The earlier decision was reversed because of “mitigating circumstances.” It developed that the student in question had stopped in the Administration Building out of curiosity and had left before the lock—in occurred. Permission for him to re—enter was on the recommendation of the discipline committee. The appeals of six other students were denied although Mount said he would hear their applications again at a later time depending upon circumstances.
Earlier (June 30) a common pleas judge, assigned from outside Franklin County, gave suspended sentences to 22 of the 34 black students who had taken part in the April,
1968 Administration Building takeover. Felony charges against them had been dropped but all 22 had pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges. Cases against 10 other students were dismissed, leaving two pending. One of these students was in the Armed Forces and the other out of the state. Of those getting suspended sentences, 16 were put on two years of informal probation and warned. They had pleaded guilty to charges of making menacing threats and of trespassing. They got 60—day suspended sentences, and were put on “informal probation,” and warned. Six who pleaded guilty to trespassing
—20— received 10—day sentences, suspended, were put on probation and warned. All 22 signed an apology to Vice President Gordon B. Carson whom they had held captive the day of the takeover.
In October an estimated 200 students took part in a “Moratorium Vigil” in front of the Administration Building. Relay teams of students read the names of Ohioans killed in V ietnam. That afternoon they joined others in a march to the Statehouse. The march was orderly and the marchers chanted “peace, love, freedom, happiness” and “peace now.” This followed by two days a day—long teach—in in the Ohio Union, sponsored by the Student Assembly.
A hint of what was to follow some months later occurred in December, 1969 when a proposed march on the R.O.T.C. building fizzled. The affair was sponsored by the
Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), a left wing group. It had arranged for speeches at noon on the Oval. The march ended after other students objected to the
Students for a Democratic Sdciety move and a few fist fights followed. About 50 students were involved on each side. Significantly, Professor David Kettler,
Politica.l Science, was faculty advisor for Students for a Democratic Society. He was to figure prominently in later events climaxing in the violent demonstrations of
April—May—June.
Events of March and early April, 1970 cast the shadows of what was to come.
Then, after several seeks of preliminaries, from what began as a mild demonstration, violence and disruption such as the campus had never known erupted April 29. They lasted intermittently until the end of the Spring Quarter. They began on a major scale barely a month after the University formally observed its centenary. It was forced to close from May 6 to 19, but disorder flared after the reopining.
In the meantime, the city imposed a curfew, the Lantern ceased publication while

OSUToday, 09:30 AM 5/3/01 -0400, A special mesage for faculty Date: Thu, 3 May 2001 09:30:45 -0400 (EDT) To: ihnat.1©postbox.acs.ohio-state.edu From: OSUToday A Special Message to Faculty: As you know, the past two weekends have been characterized by significant levels of violence and destruction of property in the neighborhoods east of High Street. While it can be argued that many of those participating are not Ohio State students, we cannot dismiss the fact that most of them are. It is clear that there is a real risk that the situation willescalate. Our greatest concern is that of student safety. We cannot permit activities to continue that have the very real potential to cause serious harm to our students. In this spirit, we ask each of you to consider taking a few moments of classroom time to discuss the situation with your students and to encourage them to refrain from participating in the kinds of disturbances experienced over the past two weekends. This may be one of those teachable moments when you can help your students better understand that there are consequences to such behaviors, including the risk of serious injury to themselves and others. In conducting such discussions, you may hear feedback from students suggesting that the violence only occurred once the Columbus police began to disperse the crowds. Unless you have already done so, we encourage you to view videotapes of the violence on the OSU web site at http://www.osu.edu/disturbances/. After seeing the evidence, we believe you willbe as concerned as we are about these regrettable circumstances. Your willingness to take a few moments to address this issue would be most appreciated. To many of our students, you are their primary link to the university. They greatly value your perspectives and insights. Your counsel in encouraging good sense and reason could make a positive difference. Finally, we should remind ourselves that we have a campus of some 48,000 students. Only about 2,000 have been associated with the disturbances. Nevertheless, we are concerned about all of our students and we want them out of harm’s way. Sincerely, WilliamE.

Out-of-control parties fueled by the easy availability and overconsumption of alcohol have spawned behavior that we consider outrageous and totally unacceptable. Last weekend, we put in place a number of initiatives that we had hoped might prevent such activities from occurring again. We were wrong. Despite our best efforts to distribute Smart Patty/responsible host kits, talk with hosts about the need to control the parties they’re planning, offer activities such as a free barbecue in two locations, notify landlords of the buildings where parties were planned and deploy many Student Affairs representatives into the neighborhoods to counsel students on appropriate behavior, we once again had riots - this time on Norwich Avenue and on 13th. To repeat, the university administration and the entire university community find this behavior outrageous and unacceptable. Faculty, staff and many students are appalled by what has gone on during the past couple of weekends. In addition to the university community, we have received countless calls from the public, encouraging us to take swift and severe action against those who participate in such activities. The so-called “campus riots” have been a principal topic on talk radio in Columbus, and it is clear that the city is fed up with this kind of behavior. So are we. Thus, we took a number of steps this week to ask appropriate groups for their support in trying to prevent further weekend disturbances. First, student leaders sent e-mail to all students, asking them to step forward and help us identifythose students committing serious offenses. Parents have received two letters — one from President Kinwanand the other from Mayor Coleman and Council President Habash —toadvise them of the situation and to encourage them to speak with their children about staying away from these troublesome Printed for Bertha Ihnat areas. We also sent letters to area high school principals and Ohio college presidents, asking them to do what they can to discourage their students from coming to the campus area and alerting them to the dangers of these events. We have asked campus area landlords to help and several have agreed. Among the suggestions we have offered landlords are asking them to share with their students the new Code of Student Conduct; remind them of their responsibilities as tenants; remove flammable materials from porches, parking lots and building- adjacent areas; have their dumpsters emptied on Friday and Saturday of each week, even ifit is not the regular service schedule; hire off-duty police officers for each weekend untilthe end of the quarter to provide extra security on their properties; and work with Columbus police to control the dangerous and illegal behavior in common areas. We have also asked them to encourage their tenants to voluntarily refrain from hosting large parties for the remainder of the quarter. We’ve also spoken to the three local beer distributors and retail representatives to ask for their help in changing the dynamic in the neighborhood this weekend. At the request of the mayor, several local retailers - Kroger, Big Bear and UDF - have agreed to sell only cans in their campus area stores this weekend to try and reduce the damage and potential injuryfrom broken glass bottles. The Miller distributor has talked with retailers about selling plastic bottles as well. And the Anheuser-Busch distributor has offered radio time for us to air public service announcements on the need for responsibility and a warning to those who break the law. Beyond those activities, Iwillnow lay out the actions we willtake in the neighborhoods - all focused on holding those who host large, out-of-control parties accountable. I’dalso like to add here that this proposal has been endorsed by the Council on Student Affairs, which represents the views of faculty and students. First, students who host “out of control” parties willbe immediately suspended from the university, followed promptly by judicial proceedings which could result in permanent dismissal from Ohio State. We have been told that there willbe a significant number of undercover officers from the State LiquorControl Board in the neighborhoods to seek out violations of liquor control policy. That means such things as charging money for beer at parties, serving underage drinkers, allowing the parties to spill into lawns and streets; having unruly guests throwing bottles or other objects from the property; and guests climbing on or attempting to overturn vehicles. In the absence of clear evidence to the contrary, hosts will be defined as those whose names are on the lease and who are present on the lease premises during the party. Second, lawn parties of any size are strongly discouraged. As the past weekends have demonstrated, it is extremely difficultto control these parties, even when the hosts have the best of intentions. Students who choose to ignore this advice and hold an outdoor party should be aware that they are assuming a very high risk of being sanctioned. Printed for Bertha Ihnat Third, any students engage in dangerous, destructive or riotous behavior or other activities that threaten health or safety also willbe subject to the judicial process under the Code of Student Conduct, which also could result in sanctions up to and including permanent dismissal from the university. In addition, they also may be subject to arrest and prosecution or civil liability. Finally, Ijust want to say a few words about the work of Columbus Police and Mayor’s office. We applaud their efforts to work with us to solve this problem that is damaging not only the university’s reputation, but that of the city as well. We are grateful for their commitment to increased enforcement and punishment — in fact one individualwho was arrested and charged in conjunction with last weekend’s disturbance yesterday was sentenced to 30 days injail. That individualwas not an Ohio State student, but we would expect and support similar treatment for any of our students convicted of similar offenses. This weekend, we expect law enforcement officers willtake increased action for violations of laws prohibitingopen containers of alcohol on public property and consumption of alcohol by persons under 21. We are all aware that the vast majority of Ohio State University students are responsible, mature and a credit to the university and our community. Unfortunately, it is this disruptive few - many of whom are not even our students - causing the problems we’ve experienced over the last few weeks. We willnot stand by while our safety - and that of the entire Columbus community - is being compromised by the diversion of large numbers of police officers from their regular duties to deal with these behaviors; nor willwe tolerate those who facilitate, foster or participate in these behaviors.

The two arrested students have been referred to the Office of Judicial Affairs and have been charged with violations of the Code of Student Conduct. Their cases are now going through the judicial process and have not yet been resolved. Several other students received citations from Columbus police for such offenses as underage drinking or excessive noise. Those charges do not fall under the jurisdiction of the Code of Student Conduct. Eight other students have been identified from the Web photos as having participated in varying degrees in the disruptions. These have been referred to the Ohio State University Police Department for investigation. Iftheir participation in these acts is substantiated, they willbe referred to Judicial Affairs and/or Columbus Police for appropriate follow-up. To date, we have received 3 videotapes and one set of still photos. Two rewards of $250 each have been paid for videotapes. Rewards of up to $250 are offered to those who provide tapes or photos or other information that leads to an arrest or a referral to Judicial Affairs. There is no reward for identifying those depicted on the Web site; persons are asked to provide that information in the spirit of civic responsibility. Numerous tips have been received and 8 students have been identified as a result of the Web postings. Printed for Bertha lhnat
