Heading: William Simons.

Text: There is testimony that he used a bullhorn amplifier in the building to lead the demonstrators in chants and yells; advised them to allow no one to enter or leave an adjacent room; and advised them to shove the cops out, to lock their arms and legs together, and to kick policemen between the legs. There is also testimony that he advised fellow demonstrators to block an entrance to a corridor, attempted to bar a student from entering the building by blocking him physically, and used the following language: Cops are fascist pigs and bastards, Kauffman is a bastard, Bronson Laf____er, f____'em and f____the University. Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, Cipperly, who was present during the entire demonstration, testified that he did not hear Simons use any vulgarity and that Simons helped in the attempt to keep the passageways clear and had a calming effect on the rest of the demonstrators.
