I . . . . e k: Last week the dissident students and non-students in Berkeley, California, found just exactly the I'd----d if they do and d----d if they don't" type of dilemma to present the overworked and cotMtantl har- assed authorities at the University of California in Berkeley. & ap- prnpriapq to their own use a valuable piece of the Uhersity's real estate which the University had definitely expressed intentions of uti- lizing for school recreation needs, the authorities were faced with two basic alternatives: -one, to.ignore the dissidents and thereby seem to a.cquiesce in their illegal activity; or two, to force evacuation of UIS cleverly named "P?Bople's Park" and move ahead with Uicir own plans for the property. In an apparent effort to continue the University's present attempt to reflect an image of resistance to blackmail and vio- lence, Dr. Roger W. HEYNS fenced in the pm!k and h a s ta.ken, with the aid of local law enforcement agencies, all necessary measures to maintain University control of this small piece of tewa firma. In tlic €ace of a mounting crescendo of dissident voices, authorities have stood firm. There have been several days when reaction.by the law enforce- ment forces may have been somewhat stronger tllczri needed, although this is debatable. In amy case, it did give the dissidcrits a csuse and * as a result, they have been joined sympathetically and/or physically. by many other moderates and radicals from other Bay area campuses and Communities. Dissident tactics calculated to promote additional confrontation and, of course, to escalate involvetnetkof others, have rmjed from childish' and erratic behavior and obscene taunting to the violence of throwing rocks, etc. .
