They battled police and troops who tried to intervene and shook off the efects of round after round of tear gas fired at them during a three-hour demonstration. They finally heeded an appeal of Dr. Fazil Kucuk, leader of the island’s Turkish minority, and dispersed. The fighting centered in Ata turk Square, named after Kamal Ataturk, founder of modern Tur key. The neighborhood is pre dominately Turkish. The narrow streets were littered wth broken glass, wrecked furniture, scat tered books and papers a'nd tele phones and fans torn from their fittings. Despite the fierceness of the at tacks, the only known serious cas uality was a Greek Cypriot news photographer. He was beaten when he tried to take pictures. No arrests were reported, al though the rioting occurred with in 100 yards of divisional police headquarters. ®atly|§| (EoU By HOG ALEXANDER ut is expected at the polls today when seven ge student councils will hold elections of atives.

Food Service Says Blue Plate Special Sales Are Small Fewer people are demanding the “plate special" now being of fered in the Hetzel Union Ter race dining room than formerly demanded the now discontinued “student special,” according to Mildred Baker, food service di rector. The food service has received requests for the” renewal of the “student special,” Miss Baker said. The “plate special” is still in the experimental stage, she said. However, she said, the total num ber of persons eating in the HUB may have increased slightly. The increase is not necessarily because of the “plate special,” she said. The food service at this time of year is normally busier than at other times, Miss Baker said. The program will continue un til Easter recess and will be re sumed afterward unless food ser vice feels it is not worthwhile, she said. Speaking of food prices, Miss Baker said the management of the HUB dining room is perfectly free to adjust food prices accord ing to costs.
