MORNINGS ARE THE MOST disorganized time of day for some people as they may be for this student, who at least remembered his books. Perhaps he just intended to go back to bed after class.

Jordanians...
Word of the reported Jordanian offensive in the northern cities near Irbid and Ramtha, both near the Syrian border, came from the Damascus-based guerrilla radio, and from Al Fatah spokesmen in Beirut.
The size of the reported government attack was not known but resumption of major fighting in the north obviously could imperil the truce that ended more than a week of civil war. In Amman, however, all was calm and the government lifted the curfew for the first time for a 12-hour period.
Thousands of residents hea prisoner in their homes for two weeks poured out of houses to search for food, medicine, lanterns, fuel and other necessities and to see what had happened to the city.
Crowds collected in the center of the city around the wreckage of an army tank and men demanded to be photographed while striking heroic poses atop the twisted metal. A 10-year-old boy was handed up and posed with a machinegun in his left hand and a huge knife in his right hand.
Streets were littered with rubble, trash and burned out vehicles. Most of the metal shutters in front of shops had been riddled by machinegun bullets and every block in the center of the city contained damaged or destroyed houses. Boys made swings of dangling electrical power lines.

According to secretaries in the building, the trouble started before classes began when a black student shoved a white girl into a locker. He was suspended, and shortly afterward a group of blacks congregated in the halls
The group grew larger, and after counselors, county officials and representatives of the Concerned Black Parents had tried unsuccessfully to discuss the situation with the blacks, several more were suspended.

During the lunch hour, some black students, several of whom had already been suspended, were involved in fights in the school cafeteria. Police were summoned, but no arrests were
Neither those involved in the incidents nor Principal William Medley were available for comment.
After the incident in the cafeteria, a group of about 25 blacks met in Veteran Park across the street from the school.
Pornography Report Termed Slanted
These incidents came only two days after the Lawrence School Board upheld the administration's decision to suspend two blacks for the balance of the semester.
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Three of the 17 members on the Obscenity and Pornography Commission charged Wednesday that the panel's majority report "is slanted and biased in favor of protecting the business of obscenity and pornography." One called for a congressional investigation.
The three, an attorney and two clergymen, objected to the report, which advocated repeal of all laws forbidding distribution of sexually explicit material to consenting adults and said there was no evidence that such material caused crimes or sexual deviations.
Chairman William L. Lockhart, dean of the University of Minnesota law school, and his
"The inference from this statement, i.e., that pornography is harmless, is not only insupportable on the slanted evidence present; it is preposterous," said attorney Charles H. Keating Jr. and the Revs. Morton A. Hill and Winrey C. Link in their formal minority report.
They also charged that the report represented "the preconceived views of the chairman and his appointed counsel, that the commission should arrive at those conclusions most compatible with the viewpoint of the American Civil Liberties Union."
