Court order eyed in Kent gym protest
Kent State University president Glenn A. Olds planned to meet tent city protesters on campus over the planned 6 million gym complex near the May 4 1970 site. He warned of seeking a court injunction to remove demonstrators if needed to start construction. Parents of slain and wounded students urged a site reconsideration at a campus meeting. Olds indicated the site must be cleared soon for the contractor.
