Kent State drops plan to buy M-16 rifles for campus police
Kent State University will not purchase eight M-16 rifles for campus police after student objections. President Carol Cartwright said the rifle is inappropriate for the university amid memories of the 1970 National Guard shooting of protesters. Earlier plans aimed to replace aging 9 mm Marlin rifles kept in patrol cars.

The order targets Friendship Heights, a D C suburb, where a village ordinance bans smoking in all public places.
