Original Toronto Star caption: Trying to cross the University of Toronto campus after being evicted from their week-old tent city; young campers are blocked by police. A moment later; a rock flew through the air; hitting a constable on the head. The few rock-throwers; however; were soon dissauded by the majority of the young travellers; and the group headed south on Queen's Park Circle; chanting Power to the people.
