Daily Iowan Reporter Judy Schultz reported at 11 p,m. that Highway Patrolmen were stationed at each entrance to the dormitories and that she had been told that faculty members were in Quadrangle and Hillcrest dormitories trying to calm the students. Schultz also reported that about five or six students headed by Dave Yepsen, A2, were patrolling the area with walkie-talkies "to keep an eye on the police," according to Yepsen. The injunction that Osmundson handed down enjoins persons from taking part in unauthorized rallies in the vicinities of the men's halls and also bars them from blocking traffic on or near the campus, from damaging property and from throwing missiles at persons or property.
