Continue Violence

More than 400 demonstrating
students were arrested at San
Fernando Valley State College
yesterday and a new police-student
clash violence-ridden San
Francisco State College.

Across the nation at Waltham,
Mass., more than 200 white
students staged a sit-in at Brandeis
University in support of 65
protesting Negro students who held
control of the campus
communications center to protest
alleged racist policies.

The mass arrests at San
Fernando Valley State College, in
Northridge, Calif., came after the
protesters defied a state of
emergency order imposed by the
college president.

Grim-faced police swept the
campus when the demonstrators
refused to disperse. There was no
resistance, and many of the
students tried to joke with officers
as they were led away.

Delmar T. Oviatt, the college's
acting president, was jeered when
he appeared among the protesters,
appealed to them to end the
demonstration and offered to meet
with protest leaders.

At least four students were
arrested in the melee at San
Francisco State College, which
came after union teachers rejoined
the strikers' ranks in defiance of a
court order.

The striking teachers went back
the pick line singing
"Solidarity Forever." Militant
students shouted, "On strike, close
it down."

Police moved in on the growing
throng. Students threw rocks and
bottles at the police. A cherry
