Colleges plan Cambodian war protest
By United Press International
By United Press International College students around the nation vowed Sunday to step up their protest against expansion of the war in Southeast Asia. A weeklong strike was scheduled for Monday at many schools.
In Cleveland, about 75 students occupied ROTC offices on the Case Reserve University campus. Case President Robert Morse told the students that protesting "is not the way to get out of Cambodia."
The students vowed to remain in the ROTC offices until an emergency meeting of the faculty senate is held Tuesday.
Students from at least 13 colleges — many where violence occurred following President Nixon's decision to send troops
to Cambodia — called for a weeklong strike. Students who signed the four-point resolution calling for the strike were from the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton, Pennsylvania State, Temple, Bryn Mawr, Villanova, Lycoming, Bucknell, Rutgers, Goucher, Drexel, West Chester State and the Philadelphia College of Art.
Columbia President Andrew W. Cordier agreed to a one-day moratorium on classes Monday to protest the Cambodia situation. As Cordier made his announcement, editors from six of eight Ivy League newspapers were meeting to discuss joint action on the issue, possibly an editorial calling for a strike at colleges throughout the country.
Most student militants spent Sunday in planning sessions. A late Saturday night fire of undetermined origin at Kent State University destroyed a converted World War II building. About 500 National Guardsmen stood by but there were no arrests.
All but 500 of the 1,800 troops dispatched to Ohio State during a confrontation between police and students last week went home. Bars were reopened and a midnight curfew was lifted.
Four Princeton University students were arrested for allegedly
throwing two Molotov cocktails into Army and Navy administrative offices. All were charged with conspiracy and burning buildings other than dwellings. Damages to the military offices were estimated at under $15,000.
Senate resolution starts investigation
City and county officials said Friday they would be willing to help the Student Senate committee investigate the arrests of KU students made during the curfew April 21 to 23.
The Student Senate appointed a committee last Wednesday to do
the investigation after passing a resolution calling for a probe. The resolution, introduced by Halina Pawl, Topeka senior, requests the committee "for an investigation into the student arrests, and if there should be inequities the Student Senate's attorney be called on to give appropriate legal aid."
"There is suspicion to believe that all arrests were not warranted," the resolution further stated.
Douglas County Sheriff Rex Johnson and Lawrence Police Superintendent Richard Stanwix both said they would be willing to co-operate in any "responsible investigation" by the Senate.
Reward fund gathers anonymous donations
Officials of the "Douglas County Reward Fund" say the fund has received contributions totaling more than $2,000 since the fund was started Tuesday.
The fund, which is patterned after a similar program now in service in Detroit, is headed by a three-man committee consisting of representatives from the University, the mayor's office, and the county commissioners' office.
The fund is expressly designed to aid law enforcement officers in solving major crimes in Douglas County.
The reward will only be offered for specific crimes, at the request of law enforcement officials.
Contributions to the fund have varied from $500 to a few dollars.
Travis Glass, 944 Jana Dr. and spokesman for the fund committee, said the identities of the members of the three-man committee would remain anonymous. Glass said appointments to the committee would be made yearly by the outgoing members of the committee.
Contributions and gifts to the fund may be made to any of the four Lawrence banks. The contributions may be made anonymously.
Last week in the wake of the violence that plagued Lawrence, one University official hinted that the creation of such a fund would
be beneficial to the University and the community.
Raymond Nichols, Executive Secretary of the University, said the University would not be involved in the monetary aspect of the program.
Glass said the organizers of the fund hope to receive more information from the city of Detroit concerning the specifics of their program. Glass said when this information arrives the public would be told more about the fund and how it will be implemented in Lawrence.
