POLICE END SERENADES BY HALLOWE'EN THRONG

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Two Cambridge policemen ended the Halloween revelry of a throng of Harvard and Radcliffe students at about 9 p.m. last night, arresting one band member and apparently demoralizing the others.

The student mob, estimated at 350, had barely completed serenading Barnard and Holmes Halls, and were trying their luck at Moors when the police intervened. When asked for a statement, one of the officers said "Well they're all right here so if they go back through the Square and make trouble we'll be in holy Hell. they're all right here but . . . . etc."

One annoyed 'Cliffie in the mob was overheard to say, "What's going on? We do this about seven times a year."

Upon the removal of the band from Moors Hall steps to the cozier Cabot By-Up, and a feeble attempt at mob rallying by some off-key singers, the students dispersed. The entire festivities had lasted about twenty minutes.
