Strike to get 'no go' at KU
No indication is evident that KU students are planning to participate in the world-wide student strike Friday against the war in Vietnam and racism.
The boycott of classes was planned in late January by 900 student activists at a conference in Chicago sponsored by the Student Mobilization Committee. This organization helped plan large-scale demonstrations in New York and California last April 15, and the massive demonstration at the Pentagon last October.
Several KU students who have tagged themselves "radicals" or who have participated in anti-war activities were questioned Wednesday about the strike, and most of them had not heard of it. Those who were aware of the strike said no plans had been made for KU participation as far as they knew.
"There's nothing going on at KU," Gus di Zerega, Wichita junior, who had been active in the now non-functioning KU Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) group, said.

Riots Commission may meet again
WASHINGTON —(UPI)—New York Mayor John V. Lindsay said Wednesday the Riots Commission would meet again to "refocus" attention on its recommendations but Illinois Gov. Otto Kerner, its chairman, said "no further meetings are being contemplated."
"In response to lingering inquiries regarding the future of
the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, I reiterate that the commission has fulfilled its mission as outlined by the president and no further meetings are being contemplated on the part of the chairman." Kerner said in Springfield, Ill.
Lindsey said he had been in contact with Kerner about a new
meeting and "it's now a question of when to call another session."
Lindsay was vice chairman of the commission.
Originally the commission had planned to stop functioning after it issued its report last March calling for a minimum income for every family in place of welfare
programs and massive efforts by government to provide better housing, schooling and jobs for the urban poor.
But Lindsay said the recommendations encountered "a retrenchment in the Congress and state legislatures" and "the cities are in a bind" because of it.
