(Above) President Lloyd Elliott (with bullhorn) is surrounded by the curious masses at a rally November 8, the day after the police invasion of campus. Elliott didn’t do much talking himself, but listened to complaints from all sides. He did say that the police-student confrontation left him not only shocked [but] scared to death.” (Below) D.C, militant Rufus “Catfish Mayfield makes a point while speaking at an SDS-sponsored rally in support of an election day strike. The most memorable part of Mayfield’s speech, which preceded the police action, was his fistf ght with Al Miller, manager of the Campus Club. Miller was trying to ask a question of a previous speaker, and Mayfield told him to “shut up.” Soon shouts of “nigger” and “honkey” were flying back and forth.

by Brian Cabell The Commies, faggots, perverts and outside agitators got what was coming to them again last Tuesday. Law TT order was restored to Washington and the GW campus by the District ' s unofficial rugby team. It started shortly after noon as about 700 grubby creeps gathered near the Lincoln Memorial to hear incitement to riot by a 1 7-year-old high school kid and the 30-year-old flag desecrator, Carl Oglesby. Czech. Vietcong, and American Revolutionary flags were flying in the breeze. A composite dummy of Nixon, Humphrey and Wallace was hung on a goal post. A rabid Saint Bernard was brought along for later use on law enforcers. The march began as the chanting creeps took to the streets, ten abreast. They were quickly channeled onto the sidewalk when they got to Constitution Avenue and were then escorted by a line of policemen on foot and motorcycle. Occasionally some of the longhairs would be pushed onto the street by the force of the crowd and the men in the white helmets would spring into action with a gentle tap from their clubs or by running over toes with their motorcycles. They finally crossed Constitution at 1 8th Street and proceeded to Lafayette Park without too much more trouble. Officers occasionally nudged a marcher if he got out of line or didn’t mind the street lights. Middle-aged men and women waved from hotels, bars, restaurants and barber shops. Barbara Fritchie flashed the V-for peace sign from the third floor of the Red Cross building. At the park, people milled about, talking, stepping on grass. Some sat down. Meanwhile the DC Police and the Park Police converged on the park. Shortly after some fiery oratory and just before a suicidal charge on the white mansion across the street, police announced that the park was closed for repairs. Asked when it would reopen, an officer with some apparent authority replied with “ shut up!” Another officer, when asked what he was doing, said “Aw, leave me alone.” Meanwhile the grubs were being moved away, one by one, to the buses and paddy wagons. About 15 GW undesirables were hauled off here as they were sitting on the grass. In an extremely we 11- coordinated sweep across the park, the police cleared the rest of the park. The creeps headed back to GW, At GW people wandered aimlessly in and near the quad behind Monroe Hall. Some made plans for burning of that building. One student suggested burning the hideous statue near the bookstore but was voted down by some of his more asthetically-minded colleagues. The policemen began moving in again. Then five youths drove slowly down G Street and sprayed a red fluid on the people on the sidewalk, most of whom were peaceniks. The five laughed heartily, then drove off. Someone in the crowd yelled “Sigma Nus,” and everyone gave hot pursuit. Then in a startling, almost ironic occurrence, the police stopped and anested the youths who turned out, to the disappointment of many, to be only Nazis. At this point the smelly pseudo-intellectuals took to the streets. About 500 of them massed on G Street in front of Monroe Hall. The street was blocked, traffic was obstructed and police action was required. Shortly after 100 police replaced the demonstrators in the street, a hippie girl threw a paper airplane into the street, greatly irritating the law- enforcers. She was seized and sent to the paddy wagon. Someone said she was arrested for flying without a license, but this was never verified. Suddenly, the renowned charge on Monroe Hall took place. An altercation had broken out between police and a youth in the corridor between Monroe and Government. As people screamed at the police to leave him alone, a line of about 20 police charged the students, much in the form of Mayor Daley’s employees. Screaming, frightened longhairs ran to avoid the clubbing. Many ran up the steps of Monroe in an attempt to get inside. There the campus police, in a continuing effort to build up a rapport with the students, asserted themselves and closed the doors, refusing to let anyone in. They were under orders to prevent a takeover of the building. Meanwhile, several students were downed on the steps of Monroe Hall. Dave Camp received a free trip to the GW Hospital with 12 free stitches for hitting an officer’s club with his head. Jim Goodhilt was pushed to the ground and arrested for having previously thrown a missle. Mai Davis, the grand old man of SERVE, was shoved around along with others and Angelo, that subversive Puerto Rican Marxist, was yanked away from the door of Monroe by a uniform with a big body inside. In a very touching scene, one anarchistic GW coed was knocked to the ground, at which time an officer stepped on tier stomach. Suddenly realizing his mistake, he considerately withdrew his foot, kicked her in the side, and smiled. About five students were arrested in the melee and were sent to the olive colored bus. On the bus they wanted to smoke and asked for some matches. A coed, who seemed by her attire to have just come back from church, offered them a matchbook. She was seized and arrested. Things kind of dragged after that. People sat down and watched the motorcycles drive by. Around seven o’clock, Mark Tizer, in a real shocker, used profanity through a bullhorn on the sidewalk. He was arrested for violating a city ordinance. Bob M cClenon, dynamic SDS leader and outspoken advocate of anarchism, advised him not to resist. He was arrested for disturbing the peace. Another girl moved slowly in the area of the paddy wagon and, posing as an obvious threat to the wagon’s security, she too was arrested. Upset by Tizeris arrest, about 30 hippies started chanting a profane word. Again law and order was threatened. One creep was selected and four policemen converged on him with clubs. He resisted and was brought to the ground. Girls shouted in horror and seemed on the verge of unsheathing their knives. To quell the screaming, a group of about 1 0 helmeted police were sent in and started clubbing indiscriminately. These men, too, had apparently been schooled in Chicago. The action died down after that event, even when a few gutsy individuals started yelling “intercourse.” Lenny Bruce must have turned over in his grave. Anyone who hadn’t had his faith completely restored in his country and its maintained after the day’s activities could have done so by walking past a busload of police near 21st and H Streets around 8 o’clock. There the police greeted any weird-looking passersby with humorous, colorful catcalls, obscenities: “Hi queer, Hey faggot,” etc. They were having a good time. Incidentally, a poll of students taken on Wednesday revealed that 71% of them approved of the police actions on campus; 20% disapproved. Richard Nixon, Hubert Humphrey and Lloyd Elliott deplored the violence on both sides. Hatchet of November 8, 1968
