Friday, March I. 1968 SCARLET AND BLACK Pogo Three STONY BROOK AFTERMATH OF A BUST NEW YORK CITY, Feb. 28 (CPS)—Charges at nun~couper— ation by university administra- tors and “Gestapo-like police tactics" were aired here last week as two New York legisla- tive committees began investi- gating the use of drugs on cam- pus. The investigations grew out or a Jan. 17 raid at the State Uni- versity of New York at Stony Brook in which 21 students were arrested on various charges. The Joint Legislative Commit- tee on Crime heard Suffolk County Police Commissioner .lohn Barry testiiy that school officials at Stony Brook had not been informed of the impending raid because "they had refused to cooperate with the police in the past.” Stony Brook President John Toll denied the charges of ham cooperation and explained how each example cited by police was “in fact, an attempt to work with police olficials." Especially at issue was an in. cident that took place in March when the police received an anonymous tip that a "put par- ty" was taking place on the campus. President Toll testified that the incident was an attempt to frame an associate dean who found a packet containing marl. juana placed under his door. Commissioner Barry claimed that the administration warned students at the alleged party that the raid was to take place. Retuting Barry‘s testimony point by point, Toll claimed that “I know -I can never catch up with the impression that was given . . ." by claims against the university. The committee came under criticism for hearing testimony publicly without first determin- ing its validity in private. Senator John H. Hughes, chairman of the committee, ad- mitted the crime committee had permitted heresay evidence to be aired. The Joint Legislative Commit tee on Crime was also accused of “smear" tactics by a lawyer representing twelve Stony Brook faculty members, who have fig- ured in a grand jury inquiry into drug use by the Stony Brook faculty, The lawyer ob tained a court order to prevent them from being subpoenaed by the committee. At another hearing, the Joint Legislative Committee on Edu- cation heard criticisms of police actions used in the Stony Brook raids. American Civil Liberties Union representative Hyman Herman said that police violated a sec. tion at the state penal code by disclosing secret indictments against students to the press be- fore those students had been taken into custody. He also criticized the police for allowing the press to accom- pany them on the raid and to take pictures of the arrests on the grounds that most ol the Students qualified for youthful offender status. Assemblyman Joseph Kottler questioned Commissioner Barry on the contents or a lM—page mimeographed plan tor the raid entitled “Operation Stony Brook.” The plan contained personal information on each of the Sui)- jects and was made available to members of the press at a briefing before the pre-dawn raid, Barry explained that the docu- ment had only been circulated to police officials, but that one copy had been carried away by a reporter. An unnamed news- paper has since published ii “book review" or the report. Kottler claimed that Time and Newsweek magazines had also been furnished copies of the documents. A force of 198 dectectives in 72 police cars participated in the Jan, 17 raid, They arrived on campus at 5 am, armed with pass keys and warrants.

Katz. who had been talking on the telephone in his third- floot rented room in the house owned by Reverend John Hed— ger, heard shouts about 4:30 pm, and tried to walk down- stairs to investigate. He was driven back by smoke and heat [mm a fire that had already s p re a d through the Hedger living room and hall to the foot of the stairs leading to his room. After crawling out on the FIREMEN BEGIN PACKING up their equipment after quenching a blaze at 1221 Broad Street Monday. The fire at the residence or Episcopal minister John Hedger began when one of his children was playing with matches. Senior Robert Katz, who rooms on the third floor of the Hedger house, waited on the ledge of his window until firemen put up the two lad- ders enabling him to descend to salety, ledge, Kat: waited until the firemen arrived and set up ladders. The Grinnell math ma- jor then stepped down one ladder to the root overhanging the first story of the house and down a second to the ground. The blaze apparently started, witnesses said, when one of the Hedger youngsters began play- ing with matches. “A fire started," Mrs. Hedger told the 5&3, “and Luke (her son, 5 yeais oi age) came and told me about it.” Katz, Mrs, Hedger, tour of her children, and a foster child were all in the house when the fire began. One or the children screamed that there was a fire in the living room. Mrs. Hedger ran upstairs and carried her babies downstairs and led the other children out through the back door. Reverend Hedger is minister of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church here and has been involved in discussion on campus of the Town vs. Negro student Prob- lem and the boycott incident last month. The fire department put out the blaze in a few minutes, alter an engine arrived at the house and police cordoned on the block. No one was injured, but damage to the first floor was extensive. Furniture in the living room was destroyed, walls were charred, and there was damage from smoke to the rest or the first floor. Fire Chief Fred Taylor gave no estimate of the damage, but other firemen in the house com- pared it to results of a fire in Grinnell last week which totaled $5,000. AAA Photo by A.

The Longhorn res- taurant and bar, located at 1011 Main Street in Grinnell, was commemorating George Washington’s Birthday when the Grinnell police raided the place. Also celebrat- ing the affair was William 17. Alexander (Political Science), who was escorted out of the Longhorn to his home at 1221 Park Street, Grinnell, for lack of an ID. Police thought that Alexander, unlike the many students there with “proper" l.D.‘s, was under-age. None of the students at the Longhorn volunteered to identity the 15- year old prof. @' DIPLOMAGY (Continued from Page 2) he mused, “she wouldn’t Speak to me for days." The history professor revealed that he had frequently played the game tor six or seven hours and “had never come to the paint where a person does con- trol most of Europe." “It is the opening iive or six moves that are important (in the learning process)," Parss- inen theorized. It is in them that one “extracts the principle involved." “You can‘t read it like a book," concluded Parssinen, “It is only valuable when you re- heat on it with something else, like a narrative history of real diplomacy.” One major failing that Pat'- ssinen noted among students in playing the game is a lack or knowledge of geography. “At least it teaches them the dillerence between Apoulia and Tet-roliaiwhich they have to know to play the game. It can't be all bad." illlIIlllllllllllilllIIIllllIIlllliilllllililllillllllllllllIIIllllIIillillilllllllllll GUERRILLA DIES BEIRUT, LEBANON (SCN) — The Palestinian guerrilla or- ganization El Fatah announced Wednesday the death in battle of one of its leaders, Abdul Fattah lssa Ahmoud, 31, “while carrying out his national duty." Leggeit De-furreil In ‘2600 Heist Two turs valued at more than $2,600 were taken last Friday afternoon from President Glenn Leggeit’s residence at 16130 Park Street. A coat and a cape of natural b r o w n mink—both insured— were stolen between 3 p.m.. when Mrs. Leggett left the house tor a iaculty tea, and 4 pm, when one or the Leggett girls returned home from school. Leggett told the 3&3 that three metal file boxes—contain- ing birth certificates, passports and insurance policies—were al- so taken. Although the president origin- ally estimated the value of the stolen IUI‘S at $2,600. Leggett told the 5&1; Tuesday night night that he could not cite the exact value. “You see," he said, “they took the insurance policies that evaluated the turs." They were apparently among documents in the stolen file boxes. Grinnell police have not been able to identify the burglar or burglars, who apparently en- tered the house through an un- locked door. Police Chief Bill Peters re- ported that no fingerprints were found although smudges indi- cated that the burglar wore gloves.
