"There weren't even any taunts," Dickinson said. 
State police arrested one UI student, Allen Katz, on a charge of disturbing the peace after he allegedly was "trying to get kids on the Pentacrest to confront the police," Dickinson said. 
Patrolmen read Katz sections of the anti-demonstration injunctions, but he was not charged with violating them, Dickinson said. 
Katz was taken to City Jail and released Friday night on $105 bond. 
Dickinson reported no trouble at a gathering of about 400 students on a practice field near the UI Recreation Building Friday night.
