A fracas was triggered
the

when about
persons jamm.ed into a sold-out dance.

The disturbance at Clark
Hall broke seven windows and
a door in the building and caused a drinking fountain to be

knocked from its foundations.
As a result, the basement was
flooded to a depth of 4 inches.
A UB spokesman said -no in­
3
juries were reported and no arrests were made.
The incident occurred after a
capacity crowd of 1800 had fill3½
ed the dance room for an event
sponsored by the University
Union Activities Board and the
Black Student Union.

About 1000 more persons,
angered because they were
apparently going to .be barred
from t h e dance, swarmed

inside.
The UB spokesman said
damage is covered by -insurance since, under a policy
established by university President Robert L. Ketter, a
dent group using a building for
such an activity must provide

coverage beforehand.
