Some Colleges Reopen Amid Ongoing Campus Protests
United Press International reports most colleges reopened for classes after last week’s closures caused by protests over the Cambodia war and Kent State killings. At Wisconsin Madison five arrests and tear gas marked a rocky restart as about 1,000 rallied peacefully earlier. Marquette saw one arrest after 500 students protested. Rev. John Raynor affirmed the university would remain open to serve its students. Iowa Gov. Robert Ray continued to oversee actions as campuses stayed split between open and closed.
