Students on 265 campuses still protesting Cambodia
utions of higher education.
About a dozen schools remained
fficially closed for the remainder
f the school year.
Some 5,000 students at the
Jniversity of California at Los
Ingeles blended their cries of
Peace! Peace!” with the throb-
ing music of Handel’s “Messiah”
uring an offbeat “Music for
5 eace” antiwar demonstration.
Many of the students made the
telephone,
nployed. peace sign with their fingers
the overflow audience sat on
JCLA’s main quad to hear the
350-voice, 120-piece university or
chestra and choir perform ex
cerpts from the oratorio.
At the University of Connecti
cut in Storrs, a student strike
steering committee announced
plans for a national coordinating
center for political opposition to
a House-passed bill dealing with
defense facilities and the Indus
trial Security Act.
David Howe, a spokesman for
the group, said the bill would al
low the federal government to
involve itself in campus unrest as
long as the college concerned
holds a defense contract.
Students at the University of
Virginia in Charlottesville wound
up a two-day seminar seeking to
mobilize support of congressional
leaders and peace candidates
against the war. About 100 stu
dents from 15 Virginia schools
attended.
At several colleges student pro
tests broke out in new disorders.
Police carried and dragged 150
Michigan State University stu
dents from a campus building in
East Lansing early today when
they insisted on continuing an
antiwar discussion meeting past
the building’s closing time.
They were taken to Ingham
County Jail in buses and most
were charged with trespassing.
Some were booked for loitering.
Thirty-seven University of Ala
bama students were arrested for
failure to obey a curfew. The
students were seized as they left
a rally attended by 150 persons
at the 12,000-student institution.
In Miami, rock-throwing stu
dents battled club-swinging po
lice for more than an hour after
they were evicted from a build
ing they had seized on the Flori
da Memorial College campus. The
students at the predominantly
Negro college were demanding
administrative changes. There
were 26 arrests.
Many of the student strikes
and demonstrations focused on
the shooting deaths of four whites
at Ohio’s Kent State University,
six blacks in Augusta, Ga., and
two blacks at Jackson State Uni
versity, Miss. The killings all
came during incidents in which
law enforcement officials or Na
tional Guardsmen used firepower
to quell demonstrations or disor
ders.
The Rev. Ralph David Aber
nathy, president of the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference,
said a 100-mile march across
Georgia to protest the Augusta
deaths and other issues would
begin today.
In reaction to the Jackson slay
ings, several colleges said they
officially would close for varying
periods of time. The colleges in
cluded Knoxville College in Knox
ville, Tenn., and the University of
Cincinnati.

Witnesses said the 200 black
students moved in front of the
dormitory as several men ap
proached the building. After two
attempts to reach it, the men left.
The confrontation came as Sen.
Edward W. Brooke, R-Mass. and
the only Negro in the Senate,
was preparing to fly to Jackson
to confer with Negro leader
Charles Evers and tour the cam
pus.
Peoples told the students the
grand jury was “determined to
get” any evidence left at the
scene although “the only thing
left there is of symbolic value. It
is of no investigatory value since
this has been done by the FBI.”
Atty. Gen. John Mitchell, who
was in Jackson Monday for an

young people, the future leaders
of this state, do not use yourself
as cannon fodder,” he said. The
students moved to a nearby ath
