ROUT STUDENTS WITH TEAR GAS
Two University of Michigan students were in a hospital with head wounds and several more were held after clashes with local police during three theater "rushes." Police swung clubs and then fired tear gas at some 400 students who tried to rush the Arcade Movie Theater, after which the students rushed the Weurth Theater on Main Street, where no policemen were posted, and filled all the available seats.
By International News Service Ann ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 23. - Two University of Michigan students were in a local hospital here today nursing head wounds and several more were in jail after clashes with local police last night during three theater "rushes."
Following a "pep" meeting at Hill Auditorium, addressed by Judge Frank Murphy, of Detroit, 400 students attempted to rush the Arcade Movie Theater, which was surrounded by a cordon of police at the University.
The police wielded clubs on the students' heads, but the mob was too great for them and as the officers were being pushed back, they finally used weapons, loaded with tear gas bullets and fired.
The students finally successfully rushed the Weurth Theater on Main Street, where there were no policemen, and occupied all the available seats.
