At the University of Maryland College Park the day began calm after a series of disturbances Monday in which the National Guard was called. Ten people were arrested, seven students, as protesters opposed the Vietnam War and ROTC programs. Guards cleared the campus with no major incidents amid a total custody count of 73 since the disorders began. Gov Mandel had declared a state of emergency last week following student police clashes.

Frederick seeks Civil War ransom repayment with interest
Senator Mathias and Senator Beall plan to introduce a bill to reimburse Frederick for a Civil War ransom paid to Jubal Early in 1864. The measure would repay $200,000 plus 4 percent interest to cover two centuries of losses and place no pressure for further compensation. The proposal cites Frederick as a Union command center with depots and hospitals, and references the July 9 1864 Monocacy battle and Early’s threat to destroy property if the ransom were not paid.
