State Policemen Continue Patrol on UI Campus

Highway patrolmen, two by two, continued to patrol the University of Iowa Thursday. Officers in soft hats and dark glasses strolled sidewalks and leisurely conversed with students as they made their rounds following several nights of disturbances. 
Approximately 75 patrolmen were on hand for an ROTC spring awards ceremony at the University football stadium, Thursday evening. However, no disruptions were reported. 
Donald McQuilllen, assistant director of public information reported Thursday that dormitory restrictions would not be enforced by highway patrolmen Thursday evening. 
Entry to all university residence halls was prohibited to anyone but dormitory residents Wednesday night. 
Carroll Bilder, deputy commissioner of public safety, said the 200 police officers would be on campus "as long as needed. There has not been an order to remove them."
Bidler said there had been no request from university officials to remove patrolmen, decrease their numbers or change their orders, "to the best of my knowledge" 
At the ROTC ceremony, 46 Army and Air Force cadets were honored for military and campus accomplishments during the past year. Campus security officers patrolled the area and patrolmen watched from the stands.
