Hillcrest Quad, Reside
Ask Riot Reinbur

By LYNNE JOSLIN
Daily Iowan Reporter

Residents of Hillcrest and Quadrangle dormitories will seek reimbursement from the city for damages to persons and property suffered Monday night when police fired tear gas into those buildings. 
A survey was initiated Tuesday by ted Politis, student body president to determine the extent and types of damage suffered by the dormitory residents. 
Politis said over 600 inventory blanks have been circulated in the dorms 
"At the moment we are waiting to see how many of the slips come back" he said. 
Hillcrest president James Pendleton, A1 said the dormitory associations.

CORRECTION

The Daily Iowan erroneously published a bulletin in Wednesday's paper saying that a bomb had been found in Hillcrest dormitory Tuesday evening. The Daily Iowan regret the error. 
The original report of the bomb being found was transmitted by the Associated Press shortly after 11 p.m. Tuesday night. Daily Iowan staff members talked to two dormitory advisors at Hillcrest, and were told that no bomb had been found as they knew. The Associated Press was then contacted and an AP staff member confirmed the original report, saying that the AP reporter had contacted higher level members of the Hillcrest administration.
Later in the evening, the AP reporter who called in the original report contacted The Daily Iowan and again confirmed the existence of a bomb. 
The Daily Iowan used the story, but Wednesday was informed by members of the University Public Information Office that no bomb had been found.
