Caption:
STUDENTS STORM DORMITORY: University men students, apparently impelled by the promise of spring, made the rounds of women's dormitories during a noisy seven-hour demonstration last night. At some dormitories they forced their way inside and into the rooms of the occupants. At Martha Cook residence, where these pictures were taken, they failed to make much headway, as girls on the upper floors showered buckets of water on the would-be invaders crowded around the front entrance. A group of city policemen finally intervened when panes of glass in the doors were broken, and the crowd moved on to hunt another "target." (Story on page 13.)
