Violence Is Reported in Several Localities; Disagree on National Platform
New York, April 22 —(UF)—More than 500,000 students in 400 college and high schools throughout the United States went on strike today in a demonstration against war and left classroom hours to act in a live-point platform.
At least five disorders were reported. Two students were injured in a clash with police at Lawrence College, Appleton, Wis. An unknown number were affected by gas gun when a bomb exited unexpectedly at the University of Kansas.

1. To protest against war and fascism
2. To protest against the Reserve Officers' Training Corps.

They tell me they had a bit of an election going on around here Tuesday, although its somewhat of a hearsay. The Pachaicamu's get to have the Cars as their candidates. Cars were scurrying around dragging voters to the polls and everything was a huger-mugger at the ballot box. One of the boxes was lost for awhile and arched byes by members of both parties proclaimed the fact that the Cars were a threat to the air. Before any individuals come to blows, the box was discovered, being carefully guarded. The devotion with which those two students, although opposite sides of the political fence, had their hands out for them to unrewarded. It was a quiet day compared to the year that Jim Polikhanburn brought up the Paola high school to vote, but it was none the less pleasant. The Pachaicamu's deserve the congratulations with a little bit more detail. SGLS.I., It really was a close race.

NICHOLS SUFFERS CONTUSION
Argument at Peace Strike Results In Injury to Student
As an aforementioned the peace strike yesterday morning, Clyde Nichols, c38, suffered a contusion of the brain following an argument with Ed Young of Lawrence, first servant of M commissary in 1974 Industry of the National Guard.
There are two vernaes as to the cause of the affair. According to Robert Richardson, c37, Nichols came up to him and accused him of setting off the gas bomb which had been thrown. When this happened, Young, who was standing by Richardson, swiped at Nicholas, jaw. Nicholas did not retaliate and started to walk away, and Young hit him again, knocking him to the ground.
The other version of the story told by Sam Holper, e37, is that Nichols asked Richardson if he had set off the bomb and that Young swearing at him and misused. Nichols started to walk and then came back again knocking him to the ground.
According to Dr. R. I. Cunanotes, head of the University Health Service, Nichols received a continuation of the program at "out on his feet" for about two hours.
