Students up in arms

thoroughfare.
At least six persons were arrested, three in the first confrontation. The head of one striker was bloodied in the melee.
Except for the street scaffolds,
the troops and police forced
student strikers to keep moving and to largely abandon their obstructionist tactics.
Militiamen holding rifles with fixed bayonets held back crowds on either side of the street. Several thousand persons were in the crowds. Most of them appeared to be onlookers.
Student strikers at the University of Wisconsin were instructed at a rally to avoid confrontations with guardsmen and police and "go where the police are not."
Strike leaders said a group of "commandos" had been formed to "deal with the Hayakawas
Bill would raise funds
Scholarship funds could be created if the All-Student Council (ASC) would approve a pending resolution diverting profits from the Kansas Union Bookstore, presently rebated to students, to such a fund, said Keith Nitcher, deputy vice chancellor for finance, yesterday.
The resolution was proposed at the last ASC meeting when Union Director Frank Burge addressed the group.
The final decision will be made in July by the Memorial Union Executive Committee, an
eight-member group which includes two students, Nitcher said.
He added that authorities must be consulted before funds could be used. "The Union's operating income is part of a pledge to the revenue bond holders."
Last year rebates totaled $77,611. Burge said that several years ago a portion of the rebates was diverted to the University's National Defense Student Loan fund.
The program operated on a matching fund basis with the
federal government providing $9 for every University dollar. The KU Endowment Association previously provided the University's share, but were unable to do so then, Nitcher said.
The ASC paid the Endowment Association $88,888 from bookstore profits usually rebated. The last $21,389 payment was made in June.
If bookstore profits are as high this year, $92,000 could be available to establish the scholarship fund, Nitcher said.
where they find them."
The "Hayakawas" are non-striking students, including some white members of the varsity football team and fraternities, who have struggled with the strikers in frequent square-offs. The name refers to S. I. Hayakawa, the acting president of another disorder-plagued institution, San Francisco State College.
Negro students seized the main floor of Duke University's administration building and held it for nearly 10 hours, threatening to set school records
afire with kerosene if their demands were not met or if police were sent in.
A wild melee broke out on the grassy quadrangle at the center of the campus after the black students, surrounded and protected by friendly white students, walked out of the building and marched down the main campus street.
Police unleashed canisters of tear gas at the crowd
It was the first display of student power on a major, primarily white, Deep South college campus.

Amendments are challenged
Lawrence city officials have challenged the legality of two proposed amendments to the city's fair housing ordinance, and are now studying the matter.
Don Venhaus, assistant city manager, said one amendment would raise the fine from $100 to $500 for persons found guilty of violating the fair housing ordinance.
"It is dubious to increase the fine when not one conviction has yet been found."
The ordinance could be tested in a housing discrimination case filed against Mr. and Mrs. Earl Bell, McLouth, Venhaus said. The hearing is set for Feb. 28 in the Lawrence Police Court.
Venhaus said a better amendment, proposed by Milton T. Allen, Lawrence city attorney, would raise the fine

after a second conviction of discrimination.
The second amendment would allow city courts to withdraw building permits from persons convicted of housing discrimination, Venhaus said.
"This would be compared to a person caught speeding and punishing him by having the water in his home turned off," Allen said. "Such an amendment could ruin a person's livelihood."
Allen pointed out that the municipal court does not have the power to enforce such an amendment.
Two other amendments have been proposed and approved in the fair housing ordinance: One places the owners of mobile home parks under the jurisdiction of the fair housing ordinance. Although this had been implied in the ordinance, a minor classification also was given to the definition of persons building living units.
