Three universities terminate classes
Cambodia, Kent protests nation wide
Angry student demonstrations spread through scores of college campuses Tuesday and spilled into downtown streets of some cities.
Police turned tear gas on crowds of protesters at the University of Wisconsin, University of California at Berkeley, University of Texas and State University of Buffalo, N.Y.
More than 1,000 antiwar demonstrators—many of them striking college and high school students—converged on Dag Hamerskjold Plaza at the United Nations in New York.
The mob snarled rush hour traffic and caused security forces to seal off the U.N. headquarters, locking hundreds of tourists inside.
The student rebellions were protests against the American military strike into Cambodia and the fatal shooting of four Kent (Ohio) State University students by National Guardsm.
Universities and colleges in New England and along the Middle Atlantic seaboard were hardest hit by the campus discontent spread from coast to coast.
Boston University announced
it was closing for the year because a "massive expression of student concern" had created a campus atmosphere in which the personal security of students was threatened.
Brown and Tufts universities announced termination of classes for the year. Harvard law school students and faculty voted "overwhelmingly" to urge closing of classes for the rest of the year.
Most students who participated in the campus strikes were peaceful and the great majority of the nation's college students appeared to be attending classes as usual.
But crowds of violence-bent demonstrators fought with police and Reserve Officer Training Corps buildings were under heavy attack by vandals in some cities.
Wisconsin Gov. Warren P. Knowles called up an unspecified number of National Guard units. As they assembled near the University of Wisconsin campus, crowds of antiwar protesters skirmished repeatedly with police. The students hurled rocks and other missiles. Police retaliated with tear gas. At least
21 arrests had been reported by nightfall.
A crowd of 700 to 1,500 demonstrators roamed the sprawling University of California campus, throwing rocks at police, being dispersed by tear gas, and forming again. They piled wood against the Navy ROTC building and tried to burn it down.
Police in Austin, Tex., twice used tear gas on protesters, once to break up a crowd of some 2,000 University of Texas students who charged the state capitol, surrounded buses and cars in the business district and threw rocks, bottles and books at police.
Police in Buffalo, showered with rocks and bottles and taunted with cries of "shoot me, shoot me," used tear gas to break up a crowd of 1,500 who went on a window-smashing spree in which two persons were injured.
At least 30 students were arrested at UCLA when some 2,000 demonstrators threw rocks at windows of ROTC offices.
Some 1,000 University of Illinois at Chicago students marched to an ROTC building off campus. An estimated 200 forced their
way inside and smashed windows and furniture.
Vandals at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb stormed into the administration building and ROTC offices. They broke windows, turned on fire extinguishers and scrawled on walls in red paint: "Revenge Kent" and "pigs kill."
At the University of Washington in Seattle, 3,500 demonstrators demanded the school president, Charles E. Odegaard, promise never to call the Guard to the campus.
Odegaard refused. He told the protesters, "I have heard your voices. I also have heard voices of others who want protection on campus."
Some 1,500 of the demonstrators staged a sit-in on busy Interstate 5 and blocked traffic for about a half hour.
