Fog Seeding at L A Airport Aids Takeoffs
Experimental cloud seeding at Los Angeles International Airport used salt spray from two light planes under an eighty thousand dollar contract to clear fog. The process briefly improved visibility enough for jet planes to depart while other runways stayed closed and over one hundred sixty flights were grounded or diverted in Southern California.

Reagan Calls for Tough Campus Action and Education Reforms
President Reagan urged a broad program on campus safety and education reforms. He proposed harsher penalties for assaults on teachers and students, expulsion of disruptive students, dismissal of interfering teachers, and stronger trespass laws. He also called for reviewing higher education governance and trustee terms. Some Democrats critiqued the focus on symptoms over causes, while Republicans largely supported the approach.

San Francisco State picket clash draws police as students return
At San Francisco State University a student demonstration escalated while 40 teacher pickets withdrew. About 100 police moved in after warnings were ignored, dispersing the crowd to adjacent streets. A teacher was forcibly removed and a frightened student girl sheltered in bushes. Union officials cite about 20 percent of 18 000 students attending classes amid violence. Acting President Hayakawa blames strike leaders for losing control though many classes continued. The teachers union, backed by the San Francisco Labor Council, strikes for higher pay lighter loads and more voice in administration while endorsing student demands, though the council excludes student affairs.

Aid To Biafrans airdrops to begin with American help
O Quainn says the mission marks the first Biafran airlift by an American group. U S supplies have reached Biafra via converted passenger planes and Red Cross aid, but cargo aircraft like C 97 Stratofreighters will allow much larger loads and faster offloading. Officials say daily needs reach up to 1000 tons, far above current 70–80 ton deliveries, prompting new parachute and low altitude extraction drop plans.
