Students And Police Clash
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) BERLIN, July 12. Police and students battled for several hours at the West Berlin Free University on Wednesday after students occupied the rector’s office building, the Associated Press reported. It was the biggest studentpolice confrontation in Berlin since the Easter riots that followed the shooting of student leader, Rudi Dutschke. The police crashed their way into the rector’s building and forcibly evicted the students, who doused police with buckets of water. They had occupied the offices to protest at university rejection of a plan for revamping the school’s political institute. After the students were evicted, other students fought police on nearby streets.
