Needs Bulletin Board 1 BATTALION EDITORIALS Unnessary Action Galveston’s Splash Day is over, but its results will hang heavy over many students who were victims of illicit appre hension during the weekend’s mass arrests. Actions taken by police were dubbed necessary by of ficers in the Island City; actions which included stopping many cars carrying college students on their way to their hotels, arresting groups of students for just “being there” and various forms of brutality described vividly by many of those involved. According to stories from many of the student victims, law and order was definitely discarded in favor of autocratic police rule; normal arrest procedures, right of plea or ex planation, and all contact with the world outside Galveston jails were severed as students were packed into chambers already filled far beyond capacity. When release finally came, many hours later, it was only obtained through paying fines for the charges placed against the students; these averaged $15 per person. The City of Galveston has expressed no intention of re turning any of the fines totalling over $14,000 collected; it has been explained by Galveston officials that in order for a fine to be returned, an involved process must take place first. Since the City of Galveston police force, helped by pa trolmen from 18 other cities, was able to disregard all concept of formal order in arresting over 700 students, it should be able to design an equally streamlined method of redeeming itself for the mass arrest of hundreds of innocent college students. This arrest of the innocent has been admitted; now the responsibility of seeing it corrected in part rests on the shoulders of those enforcing the action. One way this could partially be accomplished would be to give consideration to those students taking the initiative to protest and seek reimbursement for their experiences, compliments of the Galveston police department and helper^. It might ease a few strained feelings.
