Iowa City police and Johnson County sheriff's deputies. 
After a melee Monday night in which bricks and bottles - as well as tear gas canisters - were thrown, the local authorities were moved back and the patrol brought in. 
Gov. Ray said this morning he wasn't sure how many patrolmen would be pulled out later today, 
"I'm going to leave that primarily up to the people there" he said
Patrol officers stationed at the Ramada Inn said this morning that about 80 troopers probably would remain here after today. 
Ray praised the patrol commenting, I can't compliment these people enough. They've done an outstanding job under very difficult circumstances. I think it's a compliment also to the very good students who aided and assisted."
University officials said today they thought the campus had cooled enough by Thursday evening to allow the ROTC ceremony to go on as scheduled ROTC ceremonies have been frequent targets of antiwar protest here in recent years. 
"If there were a present danger, it (the ceremony) would not have gone on," Robert E. Engel, assistant to UI President Willard L. Boyd, said this morning. 
Nevertheless, the Highway Patrol was called in. Asked why Engel replied, "You always carry an umbrella if it looks like rain"
If it does "rain," the injunctions will serve as another umbrella, allowing authorities to file contempt of court charges 0 carrying six-month jail sentences and $1,000 fines - against those suspected of violating the court orders. 
The city's injunction is similar to the university's but expands the list of violations to include acts committed outside the university campus. 
The court order enjoins persons:
- " From purposefully obstructing the free and lawful access and exit of any person to or from any building, structure, room or facility in Iowa City. 
- " From purposefully obstructing, hindering or impeding the free, normal and convenient use by others of any street, higheway, institutional road, sidewalk, doorway, corridor, passageway, stairway, elevator, parking ramp or other building in Iowa City. 
- " From entering, occupying and taking over the possession of any corridor, hallway, room, office, class, store, Post Office, Armory or other building structure of facility owned by the State of Iowa, the City of Iowa City, the U.S Government or a private person without permission or authority.
- "From threatening, harassing or interfering with the lawful rights of any person in Iowa City or intentionally trespassing on or purposefully obstructing, hindering or impeding access to or exit from the premises where any such person maintains his personal home. 
- "From intentionally disrupting the orderly processes of the United States Government, the State University of Iowa, the City of Iowa City, the State of Iowa or intentionally obstructing or denying access to facilities of said agencies by those entitled to use them or intentionally interfering with the lawful rights of other persons in said facilities. 
-" From inciting or attempting to incite others to do any of the acts enjoined or restrained in any of the foregoing..."
The injunction was granted Thursday afternoon by District Court Judge Ansel Chapman.
A hearing to determine whether the injunction should be made permanent will be held at 10 a.m. June 10 in District Court.
Named as defendants in the city's - and also the university's - injunction are , Patrick A. Martin, liberal arts freshman from Omaha; Kirk Alexander, liberal arts sophomore from West Des Moines; Lawrence M. Jones, liberal arts freshman from Bettendorf; Waukean MacLean, liberal arts senior from Iowa City; Emanuel Zulakis, liberal arts sophomore from Cedar Rapids; and former students Patricia M. Farrell of Waukee; Christine Wemmer, Dubuque; Stephen Carl. Highland Park, Ill and Bruce R Johnson, Ames.
