ROUNDING UP CAMPUS NEWS SINCE 1900 The Baylor Lariat Wednesday, march 21, 2007 Soulforce members arrested on campus Trespass charges land six demonstrators in McLennan County Jail

By Claire St. Amant and Melissa Limmer Staff writers

Six members of the gay ad- vocacy group Soulforce Equal- ity Ride were arrested Tuesday at Baylor on charges of criminal trespassing after they refused to stop chalking on campus. The members congregated in front of Waco Hall around 2 p.m. and began chalking what they called “messages of love and hope.” Baylor Police Chief Jim Doak said officers asked the Soulforce members to stop chalking before arresting them, but they refused. He said none of the six people arrested was a Baylor student. The arrests were made by Baylor police officers dressed in civilian clothing who had been patrolling and observing the campus throughout the day because of calls and complaints made to Baylor police, Doak said. “They asked for this by their actions,” Doak said of the group members. “They chose to be arrested.” The six people arrested were taken to McLennan County Jail amid a capella singing of “We Shall Overcome.” A jail spokeswoman said Tuesday night that the six were still in custody since the judge had already left when they were Top: A plain- booked.
