DI May 15, 1971 p.2 (of 2) Saturday, May 15, 1971 DI Highway Patrolman for attempting to incite a disturbance. At Daily Iowan press time, Katz was being held in the city jail with bail set at $105 according to Iowa City police. The police would not give any information about the circumstances of the arrest, nor would they allow a reporter to talk to Katz in jail. The terms of injunction, and the defendants, were much the same as in the university injunction granted Wednesday except that the city injunction applies to the entire city rather than just the university campus. Also included among persons restrained by the injunction are any persons who aid or abet the defendants or who have knowledge of the injunction. The injunction is in effect until June 10 at which time a hearing will be held to determine whether a permanent injunction or restraining order is necessary. The injunction specifically enjoins the defendants: " From purposefully obstructing the free and lawful access and exit of any person to or from any building structure, room or facility in Iowa CIty"; "From purposefully obstructing, hindering or impeding the free, normal and convenient use by others of any street, highway.. parking ramp, or other building in Iowa City"; From "entering, occupying, and taking over possession" of any building or any part of a building or facility owned by the state of Iowa, Iowa City the U.S. government, or a private person; "From damaging, defacing or destroying any public or private property in Iowa City or attempting to do so"; "From threatening or harassing the "lawful rights of any person in Iowa City," or trespassing on or impeding access to or exit from private residential property; "From intentionally disrupting the orderly processes of the United States, Iowa, the City of Iowa City, the State of Iowa or intentionally obstructing or denying access to facilities of said agencies by those entitled to use them or intentionally interfering with the lawful rights of other persons in said facilities; and "From inciting or attempting to incite others to do any of the acts enjoined or restrained in any of the foregoing paragraphs." Named as defendants are Patrick A. Martin, A1; Kirk Alexander, A2; Lawrence M. Jones, A1; Waukean MacClean, A4; Emanuel Zalukis, A2; Patricia M. Farrell; Christine Wemmer; Stephen Carl; and Bruce R. Johnson. Friday also saw the release to regular duty of 75 Highway Patrolmen who were among the more than 200 assigned to Iowa City earlier. The rest of the force will remain in the area for an unspecified amount of time. Iowa Gov. Robert Ray had high praise for patrolmen. "I can't compliment these people enough," he said. "They have done an outstanding job under very difficult circumstances." " There are about 100 patrolmen on Southeast Iowa who can be called up pretty quickly if they are needed," the governor's office told the Daily Iowan Friday. Ralph Speer, director of public works for the city, said that the costs of repairing the damage done to two traffic lights and two traffic signs at the corner of Riverside Dr. and Burlington St. Tuesday night amounted to at least $800. Don McQuillen, university officer of public information, said the university's damage estimate for Monday's night disturbance came to $1,000. Rienows I and II suffered $200 in damage to windows, screens and a fire boc that was broken into Quadrangle damage estimates came to $100 for the same items while Hillcrest damages totalled $700. Tuesday night's damages totaled $1,290 McQuillen said. The damage that night was done to glass, screens and window frames as well as other damage to dorm grounds. The total is exclusive of 48 parking meters that were demolished in the aftermath of the disturbance. The communication, learning and discussion of the tactics of nonviolent civil disobedience will be the goals of a teach in to be held in the Spoke Room of the Union at 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Ray Thomas, A3, coordinator of the teachin, told the Daily Iowan that the event is being held as an outgrowth of frustration at the use of "clearly illegal and unconstitutional injunctions designed not for legal purposes, but for the intimidation of students who are concerned and frustrated in their attempts to end the war and repression at home."
