| Intro UNH Follow Return to index of stories... |
Town officials in Durham expected some trouble last Thursday when the Boston Red Sox faced the Yankees for the American League pennant, but even they were surprised by the magnitude of the disturbance. Police arrested 9 people for rioting - and say if there had been enough officers, hundreds of students would have been detained. This is the third serious riot in Durham this year - and everyone involved is looking for some answers to the question: What is going on? We begin with some background from Richard Ager. |
| UNH Follow Up Return to index of stories... |
soundup: Thursday riot Track: The riot in Durham following last Thursday's loss by the Boston Red Sox was, according to town officials, not simply the latest civil disturbance involving UNH students - it was the worst. Folo tape 1 00:04:33 RDID YOU FEEL IN ANY PERSONAL DANGER WHEN YOU WERE THERE WITH THE POLICE? I did in fact, yes. On a number of occasions looking up to the air I had to sidestep to the left or to the right a bottle that was coming toward me in the air. They smashed right down in front of me on either side and in front of our police personnel. We had one police officer who was hit in the mouth with a rock, another officer was hit in the back of the head with a paint gun, and unfortunately it is amazingly as this might sound, there were young people who were hiding in bushes who were shooting police from the back with paint guns. In addition to bottle rockets, roman candles, rocks, bottles and full beer cans. Standup: Riot folo tape 2 00:44:56 One of the worst examples of reckless mob behavior was the dumpster fire set here at Benjamin's Restaurant. It was set only a few feet from the main building, which had just reopened from a fire 8 months before. Riot folo tape 2 00:41:00 It was a shock, a total shock. I just couldn't believe they lit our dumpster on fire so close to the building. Riot folo tape 2 00:43:12 It's getting worse, it's getting out of control. Win or lose, win or lose. The Red Sox lost. Who would think they would come downtown for that. Why would they start fires. I have no answer. It's out of control. Track: Seven were arrested, six of them UNH students - all of whom have been suspended by the university. Durham resident Tom Patterson witnessed the riot and says more students should have been arrested. bite: Riot folo tape 1 00:12:22 They had an extremely poor attitude toward the police.I was told that three times to my face by students. soundup: OL 104 hockey riot Track: The hockey riot in April following UNH's loss in the national hockey championship ended in dozens of arrests. It also got the attention of UNH officials and students. Together, they organized a national summit last month to investigate the cause of fan violence. A sports fan psychologist from Murray State University, Dr. Daniel Wann, reviewed the research findings. bite: OL 104 00:24:05 we sent some assistants in and gathered data from NH fans and it was a game that NH had lost. And it's the only time in my life as a researcher that I've read a data set and been afraid. And my wife said so how's that data going and I said all I can tell you is that I'm not taking eric or Kevin to one of their hockey games. You people have an incredibly high intense reaction. Track: Amelia Wolflin was one of the organizers of that summit. She says last week's event were disheartening. bite: Riot folo tape 2 00:34:12 I think there is a growing population of students on campus who are very saddened.and continue discussing this in a constructive way." Track: Some student leaders like J.P. Boyle did try to deflect the mob actions, by offering alternative activities - but that didn't work. bite: Riot folo tape 2 00:36:46 What didn't work out was we didn't plan.content on what they were going to do." Track; For now, neither students or officials have any answers - and everyone can only wonder what the next disturbance will be. for NH Outlook, I'm Richard Ager. |
| Intro UNH Spokesperson Return to index of stories... |
There are no clear and definitive answers to what has led to these riots, but town and university officials are unanimous in their determination to do something. As we reported, the six students arrested have been suspended and there may be more suspensions on the way. Richard Ager spoke Monday with Mark Rubenstein, the university official in charge of student affairs. |
| UNH Spokesperson Return to index of stories... |
start: 00:00:10 MARK, AT THIS STAGE, WHAT IS THE UNIVERSITY ABOUT THIS SITUATION? There are two levels. 01:05 YOU HAVE 6 STUDENTS UNDER SUSPENSION - HOW LONG. 01:45 ARE YOU EXPECTING MORE SUSPENSIONS? 02:12 HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO FIND OTHER STUDENTS WHO MAY DESERVE EXPULSION? 02:45 WHAT COSTS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. YOU HAD A HOCKEY RIOT - HOW DOES THIS COMPARE? 03:35 DURHAM TOWN MANAGER SAID THERE WAS A FEELING OF OPTIMISM AFTER SUMMIT - NOW - WHAT WAS UNH REACTION? SHOCK?we'll try to continue those as well. 04:42 TRT: 4:32 |

| Intro Boxcutter Return to index of stories... |
A college student who took it upon himself to test airline security says it was an act of "civil disobediance." Federal authorities are saying such renegade acts won't be tolerated. Twenty-year-old Nathanial Heatwole reportedly told the FBI he wanted to imporve safety for the travelling public. Heatwole says he placed bags filled with banned items such as box cutters, bleach and false explosives on two Southwest Airline jets in early September. The bags also included notes suggesting that this was a test of national security. Authorities caught up with Heatwole after receiving an email from him. He has not been charged with a crime. But he has been released pending a hearing next month and is prohibited from flying or even entering an airport. |
| Intro Summit Return to index of stories... |
The first day of the Asia-Pacific economic summit in Thailand has been overshadowed by North Korea's latest missile test. On Monday, South Korean officials said that North Korea had test-fired an anti-ship missile off its east coast. The test came as President Bush tried to drum up summit support for a new effort to break the year-long impasse over North Korea's nuclear program. Secretary of State Colin Powell says the US has no interest in waging war with North Korea. |
| Tag Summit Return to index of stories... |
Despite the distracton of the missile test, Powell says the fight against terror is still the "number-one topic" at the summit. President Bush and the other leaders are expected to approve a package of anti-terrorism measures. They include curbs on the production and sale of shoulder-fired missiles, which terrorists could use to shoot down jetliners. |
| Intro Green Poet Return to index of stories... |
Finally, a look at life in the slow lane. Center Harbor poet and retired minister Frank E. Greene has published several volumes of his own poetry. Chip Neal spent a fall afternoon with him. |
