Questions At Kent Show Not All Blame Is Guard's
A Kent State University student poll suggests students and campus marshals may have helped avert a fatal clash between antiwar demonstrators and Ohio National Guardsmen on May 3, 1970. The 200 question survey of 8,000 of 20,000 attendees found 77 percent said Guardsmen encouraged violence. 31 percent saw marshals as very effective in maintaining peace. The study also gauged views on responsibility, justification of shootings, and provocation among conservatives and liberals, with findings to be published in Kent State May 1 to 4, 1970.
