At 5:06 Jared Israel '67 shouted, "People have come down from the Houses, and are fighting them from the other side." The crowd roared, unaware that the fighting outside was actually over and the State Police were just waiting, lined up outside.

A minute later the police came in.

They pushed the people back away from the door with their clubs and several people were knocked down and kicked. The troopers rushed up the stairs, pushing down some of the people standing there.

CRIMSON reporter David I. Bruck '70 was standing on the landing or the steps overlooking the southern first-floor corridor when the troopers came in. When they rushed up the stairs, the troopers took him, CRIMSON photographer Timothy Carlson '71, and Boston Globe reporter Parker Donham '69 up to the second floor Faculty Room. They were arrested even after showing press identification.

Bruck reported from the Court House early this morning. He said that the troopers broke down the first-floor doors with a three-foot battering ram. He said that the troopers pushed the demonstrators up front and then beat several of them with clubs.

The troopers took the reporters upstairs and refused to let them look out the windows.

Several people were thrown bodily from the corridor into the anteroom of the Freshman Dean's office.

Richard E. Hyland '69-3, who chaired the meetings inside during the occupation, was driven in to the room screaming with troopers clubbing his body.

A short brown-haired girl was hurled against the room's wooden divider and a trooper shouted, "If you don't stay there I'll break your fuckin' head."

Then a sharp crack rang out and blood spurted from the head of Robert Miller, a staff member of the New England Free Press. Several students inside had been blinded by a spray and were clutching their eyes.

The troopers herded the people out of the anteroom, jabbing some in the back with clubs, shouting "Faster, faster." Several were pushed part-way down the stairs, and the group was taken to paddy wagons.

Meanwhile, outside the building, groups of police repeatedly charged students standing in the Old Yard, forcing them back into Thayer, Weld, and Matthews Halls. During these charges several people were injured, including a Life magazine reporter, who suffered a gash across the forehead. One student had a billy club broken over his head, after being repeatedly beaten while he was lying on the ground.

Another student was pulled from Weld Hall, and arrested after he had attempted to retreive his glasses from across the police lines.

The crowd of about 500 students in the Yard chanted, "Pusey Must Go," "Strike, Strike," and "Close the Place Down."

By 5:15, police had started to load students from inside the building onto buses and paddy wagons. Some resisted and were dragged and shoved into the buses. Within ten minutes, the buses had been filled with about 300 to 400 students, and they left for Middlesex County Third District Court, where the students were booked on charges of criminal trespassing.
