Two Undergrads Arrested as Drunk

Cambridge police last night arrested two undergraduates in the Square on the charges of drunkenness and disturbing the peace and jailed them at the Cambridge Central Station.

The students, one a senior, the other a junior, were arrested after an altercation with police in front of the Wursthaus. According to spectators, one of students "insulted" two policemen who were sitting in a patrol car. One of the policemen requested identification from the student, but he started to run toward Mount Auburn Street.

Friends of the students said both policemen ran after him and caught him, and, after pinning him on the ground, one knocked him unconscious with his nightstick. The other student approached the two policemen and asked to go to the station with his friend. He, too, was seized and held against a wall until a paddy wagon arrived.

The two students will be arraigned in Third District Court this morning. Early this morning, no one had posted the necessary $75 bail apiece for the students.
