mainder of the report being
finalized will be filed within

that dormitories to which stu
dents had withdrawn when
the violence erupted in the
early evening of Sunday, Sep

gassed by the penitentiary
guards, border patrolmen and
other deputy marshals. He
stated that the report will re.

lgassing of the dormitories for

campus, where they were
niistreated as will be detailed
in the final report. The dor
mitories which were gassed
by the marsnals were Faux
ner Hall, Garland Hall, Du-
Pree Hall, barr Hall, Howry
Hall, LaBauve Hall and Odorn
Hall. The pattern of gassing
the dormitorieS was observed
by the University police, dor.
mitory managers, Lieutenant
Governor Paul Johnson and
many others who have testi'
fled under oath before the
ICommittee. Canisters of tear
gas were thrown by the mar

Treatment of Students and
Other Citizens in the Ly-
ceum Building Basement

The Committee found that
a pattern of brutalities was
also followed by the Justice
Department in it's treatment
of students and others who
were seized and imprisoned
in the basement of the Ly-
ceum Building on the campus
Sunday night and during the
day Monday; that at one
time there were between 100
and $50 persons crowded into
this room which was II feet
by 40 feet, and during a part
of the time the room was bad
ly contaminated with gas, the
marshals wearing gas masks,
but the students were held for
hours in this gas contaminat-
ed basement without masks.
The report stated that "pri-
soners were held in this base
ment up to as much as IS
/! hours, through the night of
the Both and the day of Octo-
Der 1, and some were then
transferred to the soil sedi-
mentation garage and hard

Treatment of Students on the
Campus Monday Morning
After Order was Restored
Mr.. Fox stated that the
sworn testimony revealed
latter students going from
their dormitories to classes
had been searched in plain
view of a military group, they
would then be forced by such
groups to lie spread eagle on
the ground with faces in the
dirt while they were again
searched at gunpoint."
The Committee findings
concerning the treatment of
students on Monday included:
students passing along the
campus to 60 to classes were
treated as the junior going to
his thermodynamics class in
the Engineering Building who
made a remark to several de-
putty marshals concerning the
mess the campus was in. He
was seized by two marshals,
his arms were twisted behind
his back, he was hit in the
back with a billy, cursed,
taken to the Lyceum base
ment and, as he walked to-
ward the basement, a mar
shall on each side kicked him
in the shins. A billy was for
ICED between his legs and he
was struck on the testicles.
students were beaten or
jabbed with night sticks or
bilIies. Students who were
seized, after being taken to
the Lyceum Building, were
forced to lean forward against
the wall with their hands over
their heads on the wall and
then their feet kicked out
from under them. They were
Ibeaten with clubs on their
shins and ankle bones.
students from other
schools were found asleep on
the campus in the early NOR
ming, were hit on their legs,
backs or heads with billies.
One was awakened, forced to
stand with his legs spread a.
lpart, beaten on both the in
side and outside of his legs,
and struck in his crotch and
his groin.

terms Of conduct occurred after
all disturbance had been
quieted on the campus of the

DEAR ABBY

DEAR ABBY: About six
years ago my husband hurt
his back in an accident. He
wore a back brace for a
while, but he quit wearing it
because he said it was heavy
and uncomfortable. When he
tried on an old corset Of mine
/ thought he was Glowing,
but he wasn't. He wore it to
work one day and said his
back never felt better. When l
saw he was serious, / bought
him a new one. It's been two
years and he continues to
wear a lady'S corset. The
worst part of it is that he has
started to wear nylon stock
ings, saying it helps to keep
the corset down. His doctor
has examined him and has
seen { h e S e undergarments.
When | asked him about it, he
told me it wasn't any of his
business W h a t his patients
wore. Should l stop worrying
about this?
