Although campus tempers are cooling for thc most part, the
National Strike Information Center at Brandcis University still claims
that over 200 collage and university student bodies are still disrupting
thc academic ordct. At Frcsno State College in California student
firc bombing caused over $1,000,000 damage to a brand new computer
center this week--probably a record in terms of property loss. Studcnt
rioters at Northern Illinois University (at DcKalb) took over a busy
boulevard (in the style originated at tho Wnivcrsity of Maryl.and, and
oft imitated at other campuses in recent wceks) and destroyed a statc
vehicle with fire bombs. A dozen or eo schools have been closed for
tho ycar and at most o t h c r s s e r i o u s l y effected by a atudent strike i n .
- the wake of Cambodia (cstimated at about 500) the haggling goes on o v e r
grades, final exams, amnesty. suspensions, police and national guard
tactics, etc. Many schools have cancelled spring social events which
usually accompany commanccmont excrciscs but most universities will
go ahead with graduation as usual during the l a s t week in May and the
