Matamoros violence Leaves several dead and jailed officers
Monday night clashes in Matamoros left three dead and about 30 injured as students protested the beating death of a 15 year old in police custody. Three police officers were jailed while Mayor Cavazos Garza faced calls to fire Police Chief Del Toro who resigned but was kept pending investigation. A third death involved charred remains found in a judge’s office at the jail as looting spiked downtown. U S citizens held in the jail reported they were unharmed amid panicked guards firing.

Bakke v UC Davis Medical School Case Highlights Reverse Discrimination Debate
The 1970s legal clash began when Allan Bakke, rejected from UC Davis Medical School in 1973 and 1974, claimed affirmative action favored minorities over qualification. Courts differed on whether the school's race conscious program violated the 14th Amendment and Title VI, with the Supreme Court delaying final ruling while considering government uses of race in education.
