December 11, 1967 Memorandum To: John Larson, College of Law From: Seymour Weinstein, Head, Circulation Services, University of Iowa Libraries On Tuesday, 12/5, I was seated in the office of Dale Bentz. The time was approximately 11:40 a.m. Mrs. Julia Bartling came in to tell Mrs. Bents of a disturbance in the building. She said that a number of demonstrators were marching through the building chanting " Stop Dow Now". I left Mr. Bentz' office to try and see what I could do about it. When I got to the Information Desk, I heard a tremendous tramping of feet overhead. Then, I went up to the second floor. The group was marching through the Student Lounge. When I got to the Student Lounge, they were on their way downstairs. By the time I got to the first floor door, about fifteen of the demonstrators were left and they were leaving the building. I could not recognize any of the demonstrators on their way out of the building. However, I could identify one of the people in front of the Library who was among a large group of people apparently waiting for the demonstrators to come out. He had a bull horn in his hand and he led the whole group away from the Library. He is Albert G. Marian. I know him because he has a study desk in the Library, and I have seen him quite often.
