Newspaper reports charging that Los Angeles police officers were forbidden to quell Thursday night’s 28th Street “riot” have been labeled “untrue and misleading” by Captain Karl Lee of the University Police Station.
In a Friday afternoon statement, the police officer said newspaper accounts depict-
clothes torn or my equipment broken," he complained
"As	soon as our paper's	reporter	and I hit the Row
are w h e n ^ hoodlumism starts , were surrounded by yelling stu-down there.	’	dents	telling us to leave.	As
Captain	Lee said he has never j far as	I could tell, a large per-
centage of the crowd had been drinking," the cameraman added.
Rutherford said that two men students, whom he could not identify, tried to aid him by shouting to the group “Leave him alone, let him go home.” When the Daily Trojan contacted the city editors of three of Los Angeles metropolitan newspapers—the Times, Examiner, and Mirror-News — they said their photographers and reporters had not been mauled or rough-housed in any way Thursday night.
Told to Leave But the Times said its photographer. Dan McCormank, was repeatedly told by students to “get the camera out of here.” McCormack said he locked himself in his car after shooting pictures of the R'ow incident.
Another newspaper report, which said fire trucks are not to go into the Row area during a “riot” or other disturbance, also w-as labeled false by a city official.
The University Fire Station on West Jefferson Boulevard said that if a fire alarm is pulled or a telephone call comes in from the Row, the fire department will respond “whether there is a riot or not.”
Dean of Students Bernard L. Hyink said the Faculty Committee on Student Activities met Friday but had not made any decision as to its action over the “riot.”
The Interfraternity Council will meet tonight to discuss the incident and decide if any fra-
hesitated to send officers into the Row area and “never will.” Equipment Endangered
But he. did say that he has instructed his men not to take their radio cars into the area unless it is absolutely necessary, since police equipment has been damaged in other Row outbreaks.
“But we will never hesitate to arrest anyone whom we feel has broken the law,” Lee said.
He bore this statement out by recalling that his men arrested and booked a student last year in a similar outbreak.
The “riot,” which began about midnight Thursday, included the tossing of wine bottles, beer cans, and firecrackers, the breaking of street lights, | the setting of a street bonfire, and the alleged injury of a Los Angeles newspaper photographer.
Treated at Hospital
Frank Rutherford, the injured cameraman, was taken to Georgia Street Receiving Hospital and treated for two broken ribs. He and reporter Nieson Him-mel, both of w'hom work for the Herald-Express, were told by their newspaper’s downtown police reporter to respond to a “major 415” (riot) on 28th Street between Figueroa and University Avenues.
Rutherford was injured, he stated, by a student who “hit me in the ribs with a wine bottle.”
"Covering SC is worse than covering a riot,’ Rutherford said Friday.

rlty.
Roughly 25 students testified during the Investigations, which were obstructed by too many rumors and not enough facts.
“If students had cooperated more fully in their testimony and had disclosed all they knew, more definite action could have been taken,” said Dean of Student? Bernard L. Hyink.
One Student Dismissed
The report released hy the i committee Friday staled that one student had been dismissed without readmission and that another had been suspended indefinitely. Both were accused of trying to steal tests from professor's offices during the first week of final examinations.
The report also stated that three students had been placed on disciplinary probation, barring them from participation in nll-Univcrsity activities Including athletics. Two students were given warnings.
Itumors Crept In
Ilyink, Dean of Men Robert Gordon, Chaplain Clinton A. Ne.vman, Associate Prof. of Poli-tolcal Science Dr. T. J. Anderson, and students Keith Brandt, Murray Bring, Jim Maddux, Cammie King and Devonne Marsh composed the committee.
Rumors concerning cheating crept into nearly all the hearings, making it hard for the committee to reach conclusions in some cases, according to Hyink.
Although the committee felt that the problem was basicly one of student attitude, a set of recommendations on future exam procedures wes formulated and sent to every faculty member.
Suggest Stencil Destruction
The recommendations suggested that all stencils and ditto sheets be destroyed immediately after the duplicating process, that all exams be numbered, that the regular professors lie present during their exams' and if necessary use proctors.
It also recommended that faculty members inspect blue-books to prevent cribbing and to make sure that only students registered in 'heir classes take the finals. The recommendations also asked the faculty to refrain from giving the same exam year after year, and to outline at the first of the semester their systems of grading, evaluation and what is expected in the way of class conduct.
As a final step toward eliminating similar problems in the future, the committee recommended that the ASSC Senate pass a set of resolutions on the subject.
