RAVENNA—A Kent Stale
professor and a cenvicted
drug peddler were the first
persons put under arrest to
day as deputies rounded up
25 persons indicted in the
campus disorders of last
May. ;
Two of the first five in
custody were Greater Cleve-
landers.
Prof. Thomas S. Lough,
42, professor of saciology
indicted for inciting to riot,
surrendered voluntarily, ap-
parently having learned that
he was to be arrested. He
Was accompanied by his at-
torney.
The other also was easy
to find. He was Richard C.
Felber, 21, of Akron, a fresh-
man at Kent State last year
‘and presumably a student at
the time of the fatal clash.
He was already in jail.
Felber was charged with
first degree riot, attempting
to burn property, assault
and interfering with a. fire-
man at the scene of a fire.
The fire was that which

mont Dr., Cleveland Heights,
a freshman last year.
Each is under indictment
for second-degree riot.
The fifth in custody is
Jerry Rupe, 21, of Kent, not —
a student, who already was
in Stark County Jail on a
charge of possession of nar-

riot.
DEPUTIES, armed with
Warrants, were rounding up
the others. None will be
