to worry about as a prelude to n

Pitt students ran foul OF the law
yesterday. Police thought they had
their hands full In curling the
high spirits of the Panther sup
porters, but the Pitt demonstration
was as nothing compared with the
Carnegie students celebration early
today.
Two riot calls summoned police to
the Carnegie Tech dormitory area
in Woodlawn Avenue. In the ensu-
ing melee. a patrolman suffered a
lacerated hand and a lieutenant
received a bump on the head where
a milk bottle struck him.
Two old automobiles were burn
ed by the students. Leaders OF the
demonstration said they were
machines abandoned by students.
Milk bottles and bricks were hurl-
ed and water was poured from dor
mitory windows on police and fire.

The men of Pitt clashed with the
police when the latter attempted
to break up a parade in the down.
town district. Several hundred stu
dents participated in the parade
and traffic was congested until the
crowd was dispersed. Mounted poll
icemen were forced to charge their
horses into the hilarious throng.
Pitt students arrested were re-
leased on their own recognizance
and were to be given hearings on
d~isorderly conduct charges today.
The 80 Carnegie youths also were
to be given hearings today. They
were compelled to post $50 for
feits before they were released.

First trades showed losses OF

covered this loss promptly on trade

request. Charles Summers is sent
ont. He arrives with his young and
charming wife. He is censured for
