Withdrawal Of Campus Guard Asked By Berkeley Faculty
Berkeley faculty voted 642-95 to demand immediate withdrawal of armed forces from the campus and an end to provocations by demonstrators. National Guardsmen remained on duty at North Carolina A&T after two days of violence that left one student dead and seven wounded. The vote condemned use of guards and tear gas around People’s Park and called for investigations by the state attorney general and the U.S. Justice Department. Campus boycotts spread to nine UC campuses, with UC Davis supporting discussion days. Governor Reagan denounced the unrest, while North Carolina Gov. Scott blamed hard core militants.
