uw-. March came in like a lion with protests over Dow and a day-long confrontation over re- search files. Then, to prove that protests aren't always mass, Phil D'Arms of the Special Projects Office resigned because of frustration at the University's failure to fund commu- nity service projects. Mitch Cohen and Glenn Kissack were arrested in G Cafeteria, Mitch for being on campus after being declared persona non grata, and Glenn for protesting Mitch's arrest. A chain reaction led to an SDS sit-in in the Library after a rally to decide what to do. About four hundred students stayed past midnight despite President Toll's vacillating threats to call Suffolk County Police. By 6 a.m. most of SDS's demands had been met, and students began to leave in twos and threes. At 8:30 the Police arrived, and all but 21 students left en masse. The remaining students were led out by the Police and brought to the Police Station. The Student Council unanimously called for Toll's resignation and censured the President for his failure to create and utilize sufficient channels for instituting change. A petition was signed by 2300 students condemning disruption and destruction. Toll said that he wouldn't change the policy in response to disruption since that would encourage disrup- tion. Mitch was permitted access to the campus again in expectation of good behavior. The campus was polarized, left versus right, and an uncomfortable atmosphere was in- evitable. 1
