Liberty City?
It rould he that section of Miami which made national headlines for the Magic City while Republicans were conventioneering in Miami Beach, hut it isn’t. It's the men’s residence halls last year when Miami, Metro and Coral Gables policemen searched for a “sniper" which had allegedly shot at a Metro policeman while he rode his bike down U.S.l. The sniper turned out to be a freshman with a hull whip which made a sharp cracking noise and the three police departments were thoroughly embarrased. See stories about the riots and real snipers on page two hy Huriicane correspondents who despite the danger when into the riot area last week.

Off The Wire

WASHINGTON AP—Surveys released by the National Advisory
Commission of Civil Disorders indicate that the Negro mass is far less revolutionary in its outlook than its more militant spokesmen. The great majority do not propose to withdraw from America; they want equal status in it.
The surveys of riot participants said while most Negroes disapprove of the violence, they nevertheless “feel that the riots have beneficial consequences by increasing white society’s concern to improve the Negro’s condition.”
SLAGON AP—The chairman of the Siagon Students’ Association recently sentenced in absentia to 10 years at hard labor by a military court, has surrendered and will be retried today, according to the official Vietnam Press.
Nguyen Dang Trung has been charged with responsibility for the publication of Sinh Vien—Student, a newspaper published by the 25,000 member students’ association. The government charged the paper published pro-Communist stories and sentenced the editor, Nguyen Truong Con, to five years at hard labor.
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay AP—This capital certain to have more bloody student riots as public opposition to President Jorge Pacheco Areco’s tough policies steadily increase.
A score of students, policemen and bystanders were hospitalized with bullet wounds or other injuries suffered in daily violence that began last Friday with a police raid on the University of Uruguay.
Although the invasion of the traditionally inviolate university campus was the immediate cause of the student demonstrations, they also are protesting conditions which have drastically reduced public backing for the president: Runaway inflation, the rising cost of living, suspension cf constitutional guarantees, press censorship, drafting of striking Government employees into the armed forces, alleged police brutal-ty, official mismanagement and corruption in high government circles.
The police caused the long festering crisis, when they raided the university, long considered a hotbed of admirers of Fidel Castro and Mao Tsetung. They discovered incendiary bombs, bullets and other subversive material on the campus.
MEXICO CITY AP—More than 2,000 government troops and riot police faced an angry band of 500 students in Mexico City recently, as week-long demonstrations continued.
Troops were sent into the University of Mexico to clear out youthful rioters, although traditionally in Latin America, universities are off limits to the police and the armed forces.
PARIS AP—Edgar Faure, the new minister of education, announced that 6,000 of the additional 12,000 university students expected in Paris this fall, will be acc< «mmodated in the big white headquarters built for the North Atlan ie Treaty Organization.
Although students dislike NATO as a symbol of the cold war, they are even more critical of j 'aure, so no matter what he does large numbers of students will find it inadequate.
Young revolutionary stud «its, trading on the generation gap, are very likely to cause a revolution in October—a critical month, as high school will just be starting, and university students will just be returning from their vac ations.

SUMMER SCHOOL needn't be so bad, as these I’Mers prove in a rare showing of the extreme skill involved in th art of jumping. It is rumored that the view from the top board is excellent, but few brave souls venture to such heights. Most prefer the free swimming pool below, especially since the view from below is supposed to be like the French Riviera after a rainstorm!
Causes of Riot
As rioting faded away from the streets of Liberty City last Friday, Wayne Thompson, one of the United Black Students sitters last Spring at President Henry King Stanford's office, was arrested by Metro policemen, and charged with assault and battery on a policeman.
Thompson, a senior government major, was in the Liberty City area as part of a study being conducted by UM for the Department of Housing and Urban Development in community relations for the negro and Cuban parts of the city.
Police said that he was driving west on 62nd street and that upon coming to NW 8th Ave. He made a left turn almost running down one of their men on the scene, directing traffic after last week's violence.
Thompson said that he had made the left turn previously and that he did not come close to the Metro policeman.
He had been in the area for the past week trying to get interviews with several of the community leaders for the federal study in connection with causes of the riot.
After he had made the turn, Thompson added, he parked his car and went into a cafeteria where he stayed for about ten
minutes while having a soft drink.
After he left the store, police arrested and handcuffed him. He was then taken to a makeshift jail at the Armory for questioning about the incident Eventually he was charged with assault and battery on a policeman. Saturday morning, after contacting family and bail bondsmen he was allowed to leave the jail.
Bond was set at $1,500. Arraignment proceedings arc pending.
Thompson said that after arresting him police kept asking him questions as to the reason of his visit to the area, whether he owned the car he was driving and the validity of his driver’s licence. He added that police assumed he was guilty of something.
Metro police said his arrest and process was routine.
