on the University of Chicago student rebellion as a case study of American dissent.
With dispassionate ease Lynd chronicled the events which started two weeks ago when the students took over the administration building.
He pointed out contradictions between the actions of university officials and the principles of the Declaration of Independence.
"I regard sit-ins as legitimate dissent," he said in defense of

A campus security officer, Derek Pitts, 40, suffered ear injuries from the concussion of the blast. He was driving in his patrol car on a sidewalk about 60 feet away. Pitts was treated for the ear injuries and shock at a hospital and released.
Residents for several miles around the strife-torn campus were awakened by the explosion and flooded police and fire department switchboards with calls.
The bombing was the second in four days at the college. A crude bomb exploded Thursday night in front of a student lounge, shattering two windows and causing several hundred dollars in damage when pipe fragments gouged inside walls.
Inspector Daniel Mahoney of the San Francisco Police Department said saboteurs used a seven inch pipe packed with explosives in yesterday's bombing.
The explosion was the latest in a series of violent incidents at the college since Nov. 6.
students' actions. "They stimulate debate which produces a more intense dialogue."
12 KANSAN Feb. 17 1969
The panel discussion Friday afternoon featured three speakers commenting on "dissent in foreign policy." Participants were Irving Howe, English professor at Hunter College; Tom Hayden, a founder of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS); and Zbigniew Brezezinski, Columbia University foreign policy expert.
An advocate of democratic socialism, Howe said he went along with the American policy of containment at first. However, Howe claimed John Foster Dulles' foreign policy was dangerous in Southeast Asia.
"We attempted to cover up political failure with military might in Vietnam," he said. "American policy is either too much or not enough intervention."
Hayden, co-director of the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam, spoke about Vietnam and the anti-war movement.
"The real reason protest grew against the war in Vietnam," he said, "was the strategic defeat of the United States in Vietnam."
Hayden said he had grave doubts that the United States would abandon its intention of

Brezezinski, a former member of the state department, said dissent should be made relevant to the democratic process.

policy presents a form of crisis for the U.S." he said.
Harry Edwards, organizer of the Black Olympic Boycott
viewed violence as an effective weapon "to get white folks off our backs."
Charles Evers, whose brother Medgar Evers was slain in Mississippi by white racists, said he advocated non-violence.
"Let's get together," he said,
"Let's destroy racism. I beg you,
please, let's not go from white
racism to black racism."
Civil disobedience defined
Rex Martin, assistant professor of philosophy, focused upon civil disobedience within a structure yesterday in the second of a series of seminars on civil disobedience sponsored by Student Union Activities (SUA).
"Civil disobedience can follow the lines of political due process," Martin said. "We need to rethink the philosophy of political authority in a democracy.
Martin spoke from his paper
entitled "The Philosophical Issue of Civil Disobedience,"
He defined civil disobedience as, "the deliberate and public violation of the command of an authorized and accepted political superior on the ground that his decree is unjust, immoral, unconstitutional, or contrary to good public policy."
Further defining civil disobedience, he explained:
*Civil disobedience must be dist ing uished from
demonstrations in which laws are violated.
- There are some cases of justifiable non-revolutionary disobedience to law which are not cases of civil disobedience.
- Civil disobedience is not necessarily revolutionary action.
Code to be voted this week
- A civil disobedient person acts solely as a private citizen as opposed to a public agent in what is called constitutional impasse.
Martin suggested that civil disobedience might be argued against from the standpoint of morality or justifiability in a democracy.

These faculty members would form the Faculty Senate, a body empowered to deal with matters of faculty rights, research, scholarly publications, admission and transfer requirements, credit for resident and non-resident study and cooperation with other institutions.
Acting for the University Senate, the University Council composed of 39 faculty members and 10 students, would deal with more day-to-day decision-making. The University Senate itself would be required to meet only three times a year.
University Senate such as calendar, film series, financial aids, foreign students, human relations, lectures and convocations and libraries, would contain varying proportions of students up to 50 per cent (lectures and convocations).

Confident that the code will pass, student and faculty leaders have said the code will offer the student a greater opportunity to become part of the University community.

11 cures for student unrest.
The brooding palace and beehive tombs of Mycenae. The royal apartments of the Sun King, Tutankhamen's treasure The Temple of Venus at Baalbek The Labyrinth on Crete. The teeming bazaars of Cairo. The Blarney Stone Archaeologists who tell you more about a ruin than just who ruined it.
That's just a small sample of what's included in Olympic's 11 Student Tours. We figured
that students are a lot more adventurous and curious than most travelers. So we weren't afraid to be a little out when we planned our itineraries.
But of course we didn't neglect any of the more downto-earth details. Like deluxe or first-class hotels throughout. Departure dates that fit right into your spring or summer vacation. From 15 to 60 days. And, of course, Olympic's special student prices
