More Unrest
Elsewhere on the campus unrest
scene:
Tennessee - Predominately
Negro Lane College, Jackson,
Tennessee, a Methodist school with
1,100 students, was shut down. The
school president ordered the closing
Sunday after two fires were set on
the campus. Students boycotted
classes at Lane, Friday, demanding
firing of a professor, changes in
scholarship rules, and dormitory
changes.
Wisconsin - A strike of black
students continued at the
University of Wisconsin but no
incidents were reported. Last
month, clashes between students
and police resulted in the dispatch
of the National Guard to the
32,000-student Madison Campus.
California - The strike of "third
world" students continued at the
Berkeley campus of the University
of California, where National
Guardsmen discharged clouds of
tear gas to disperse rock and bottle
throwing crowds last week.
Washington - Forty-three
students arrested during the
weekend for preventing a Colfax,
Washington, Sheriff from taking
custody of five black students were
free on bond. The five Washington
State University students were
convicted of assault as a result of a
January 20 invasion of a fraternity
house. The five had been scheduled
to begin a series of weekend jail
terms.
