Little did the police know how unprepared they were; as soon as they got out of the car they became targets. Something had to be done. The police couldn ' t leave, they were now the opposing side. The police had one option, they had to intimidate the entire North High Street gang using their few numbers in a large way. They warned the participants, but the warnings were ignored. The police advanced to the top of the stairs, in front of the K.A. house, when Glen Cole and Russ Cooper were selected and arrested. After the pair were taken away, everyone went inside.

It happened on Friday, January 13, two unsuspecting WVU students were arrested for partici- pating in a snowball fight. Glen Cole was one of them. The battle occurred on North High Street, involving almost all of the residents. Anything that ends up involving hundreds of students usually gets started by three or four and the craziness spreads. The most favored targets were . . . anything moving on High Street, one of the unfortunates was a motorcyclist. There were three University Security Police acting as referees, but when the intensity of the battle grew too large the Morgantown Police decided it was time to quit.
