said police acted with "remarkable
restraint" and charged that union
leaders were trying to transfer the
blame to police after provoking the
violence themselves.
"We now know what side the
police are on," said Culinary Union
chief Jeff McColl, one of 18 strikers
arrested Tuesday at the Las Vegas
Hilton. "The brutality by Las Ve
gas police is a disgrace against the
community."
McColl and leaders of the three

"Our officers have acted with

The men's gymnastics team fi
nally received the news it had long
been anticipating Tuesday when it
captured a bid to the NCAA
championships scheduled for April
12-14 at UCLA.
Since each of the four regions
must have at least one representa
tive, the first bids went to Penn
State in the East and Southern
Illinois in the Mideast, while Okla
homa will represent the Midwest
and UCLA the West.
Six . other at-large bids were
awarded, in order, to Nebraska,
Minnesota, Ohio State, lowa, lowa
State and Illinois. Two alternates
New Mexico and Brigham Young
were also named.
Penn State Head Coach Karl
Schier said the major criterion for
selection was national average
score taken from five meets, at
least three of which had to be on the
road. However, won-loss record,
head-to-head competition, and ear
ly vs. late season performance
were also considered.
On the sole basis of national aver
age, the Lions turned in the fifth
best score. UCLA's 281.58 average
was the highest, followed by Ohio
State (279.75), Nebraska (279.47),
Oklahoma (279.01) and Penn State
(279.00).
The Lions are the lone represen
tative from their region, and Schier
was extremely pleased that they
were chosen as the top team from
the East.
"Obviously we are very excited
to be selected for the NCAAs,"
Schier said. "It was a foregone
conclusion to some extent, but it's
nice to know that the selection
committee picked us, especially as
the leader in our region."
