UI's Boyd Urges Students: Resist Call for Agitation

Gov. Robert D. Ray today criticized Iowa City demonstrators for recent rock throwing incidents while University of Iowa President Willard L. Boyd called on students to calm down. 
"Throwing rocks, breaking out windows and terrorizing people is not justified in any sense of the word," Ray said this morning. 
The governor said last May's anti-war demonstrations resulted from widespread feelings among a great number of students. But he said "this is more of a small group, a band with a few of them engaged in vandalism."
Boyd said he was appealing "to all students to resist any call for agitation" 
"Beyond this, I ask each of you to do everything possible to calm others," he said. 
"The great majority of you have shown by your absence from the recent disruptions that you fully understand the difference between effective expression of concern and the fruitless harrassment of both the university and the Iowa City community.
"I appeal now to all to remain calm and to continue with your studies. I urge you to counsel fellow students to join with you in refusing to be drawn into senseless, counter-productive acts which can only result in the degradation of this university.
"Finally, I wish to acknowledge the role that so many students and members of the faculty have taken in guiding and counseling students in these difficult days. 
"With your help. and with the help of other citizens dedicated to rational action, we can put these days of turmoil behind us. This we must do, to meet our obligations to the university, to this community, to this state and most especially to ourselves.
