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

"Solidarity Forever." Militant
students shouted, "On strike, close
it down."
Police moved in on the growing
throng. Students threw rocks and
