Wisconsin: Insurance Change
MADISON-The dean of the University of Wisconsin Law School has proposed changes in insurance laws which would require all students to pay for the costs of campus disruptions and damage. The plan was formulated by Dean Spencer L. Kimball, who said each student at the state's public universities should be required to pay $100 a semester into a special fund. If no damage or disruption occurred during the semester, $90 would be refunded. Kimball said he hoped the plan would stimulate students to oppose acts of violence.

Desegregation Plan Continues Despite Boycott, Protesters
By United Press Internation
Massive, long-distance busing went into effect Wednesday in North Carolina's largest school system. Several buses showed up empty at one school and two others were cleared by bomb threats.
However, officials said 80 percent of the expected high school students showed up for orientation in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school district, and 81 percent of the junior high students came to school.
The tally indicated that a massive boycott called by the Concerned Parents Association fell short of its goal. Figures on elementary school attendance were not available.
Under court desegregation orders, about 22,000 of the system's 83,000 students were being bused as far as 20 miles from their homes to achieve racial balance in the schools.
In Mississippi, about 100 protesters, both black and white, showed up at a Jackson elementary school to protest desegregation plans.
"Ive talked to many black people and they've agreed to join with us in the fight to save our neighborhood schools," said Mrs. Robert McGaughan.
Private schools were opening in Jackson this week and expected a substantial increase in enrollment.

About 2,500 teachers went on strike in Toledo's public schools to enforce demands for pay increases. School Supt. Frank Dick said schools remained open and administrators and the substitute teachers conducted classes for the city's 61,000 public school pupils.
The 200 had walked out of the school Tuesday to protest the suspension of six black girls, who began leading cheers Friday night in competition with the regular all-white cheerleader squad at a football game.
Tensions were running high in Hickory, N.C., where a series of fires have broken out in public schools. Police escorted 200 black students to Claremont Central High there.
Parents in Northport, Ala., took over a dilapidated elementary school closed under federal integration orders and began teaching classes for white children. About 100 students, zoned to attend a formerly all-black school, showed up for partial classes in six grades.
