[handwritten] 'won't tolerate...' cont. P.C. 12/6/67 Protest Continued From Page 1A backbone is not taking care of the situation themselves. "We're called in to quell things and the university somehow just appeases these people and another situation develops. This just can't go on." Another of the demonstrators, Dennis Randall Ankerum, was arrested this morning in the Union on the ground of failure to pay all his fine from the Nov. 1 disturbances. He was fined $50 and assessed $4 costs on a charge of disturbing the peace then. In the Union basement this morning, one of the demonstraters, Fred McTaggert, charged "police brutality" in connection with his arrest at the Union Tuesday. He called the statement that demonstrators charged police "a bare-faced lie. I did absolutely nothing to provoke this," he said as he pointed to a long bandage on his head which he said concealed 34 stitches, "nor my arrest." He was charged by police with disorderly conduct. Another student, Jame Miller, told the gathering that their movement must be "stifled." "The apathy of this student body can no longer be tolerant" of the movement. He told the demonstrators they are "being led by the nose" by their leaders. Jeffrey Nolte told demonstrators to "think well what you do." He said the price they may pay in terms of death and injury may be "too high for what you have to gain." He said if they want change "too fast, you won't achieve it." He urged that they "not just" demonstrate to be demonstrating".
