Colleges Now Turn To Political Action
Colleges in the area shift from emotional reaction to Nixon Cambodian decision and Kent State deaths to organized antiwar activity. Williams College leads, coordinating strike efforts with student volunteers, canvassing, boycott support, and an advertising push for peace. Bennington College lags, still debating full participation. At Williams, information leaks claim polls misrepresented support for the invasion and a coded line limited responses. The move signals a broader student-led effort across western New England.

Agnew Calls For Clearing Radicals At Campuses
Vice President Spiro Agnew told a governors meeting that anti intellectuals have captured campuses and that radicals and rascals must be cleared out. Governors offered mixed quotes, with Ziegler saying the point was to condemn anti intellectual attitudes rather than call for a purge. Governor Curtis urged restrained talk from the national administration and more dialogue. Nebraska Gov. Robert Tiemann said Nebraskans largely back Nixon’s Cambodian actions.
