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.
