IU protest arrest

BLOOMINGTON, IN.(AP) - A student protest against an evangelical pastor's speech led to chanting and at least one arrest on the Indiana University campus.

IU Police Chief Keith Cash says that 21-year-old Sebastian Modes was arrested for disorderly conduct Friday evening outside the Bloomington campus' Ballantine Hall.

Cash says Modes was arrested after refusing to stop disrupting a speech by the pastor, who's drawn criticism for his beliefs about homosexuality and other issues.

Junior Aidan Crane is vice president of IU's Feminist Action Coalition.

He says the organization protested the pastor's speech and then started a dance party to "show solidarity and love in the face of hate and bigotry."
