Strangers battle students
Brawl bloodies Highrise
By Penny Kramp
A Student brawl stained
the Highrise lobby with
blood Stmday morning.
Five Asheville police
squad cars dispersed a
fight between a crowd of
UNCA students and scxne
unidentifed off-can^us men
about 1:30 a.m.
The fight broke out af
ter an after-game social
in the student center.
"Some UNCA guys were
walking back from the
dance and 10 to 15 guys
jumped them," said Melinda
Graves, senior resident
hall assistant.
Byron Samuels was one of
the students who helped
break up the disturbance.
Samuels said the first
altercation began around
midnight when one of the
off-can^is Intruders shov
ed a girl, which upset
some members of the Mud
500 club.
That scuffle was broken
up by students and "every
thing appeared to cool
down," according to
Samuels.
"Then about 1 a.m. I saw
a rush of people running
to the Highrise. It was a
free-for-all," Samuels
said.
No arrests were made,
according to Sgt. Richard
Greene of the Asheville
Police Department.
"When the officers ar
rived the fight was over.
The officers told the stu
dents to disperse. No ar
rests were made because it
was in^osslble to tell who
was at fault," said
Greene.
Samuels said the actual
fight lasted about 20 min
utes, but Graves said it
took at least an hour to
calm things down.
Several UNCA students
received minor injuries,
mostly in the way of "bus
ted" noses and bruised
knuckles.
One student, Calvin
"Cam" Mallotte, needed
four stitches for an in
jury to his lip. Another
female student began hy
perventilating .
Students were not the
only ones who were roughed
up. A Domino Pizza deliv^
ery person had a pizza
snatched as she atten^>ted
to deliver it to the High-
rise.
Delivery person Stella
Parker said, "I didn't
realize anything was wrong
until I got out of the
delivery truck. S«ie guy
came ' running up and
slam-dunked the pizza on
the ground. I ran after
him and he began yelling
at the other guys to get
the pizza. Then they began
yelling, 'Get the girl' so
I locked myself in the
truck."
Parker said the thief
Clot only stole the pizza
but also a $50 insulated
case for the pizza-
