A 36-student protest at UCLA’s placement center against Dow Chemical and the Vietnam War was halted after a warning from associate dean Cherles McChure. Students faced possible suspension if they did not leave by 1:35 p.m., and many filed out without a formal sit-in.

Guilty War Critics Choose Jail Over Fine in Protest Case
In Los Angeles, Danny W Jorgensen and three other students were found guilty of trespassing during a Vietnam war protest at a naval base.

Bail was set at $500+.

Hearing Set on Sixth Street Property Use
The City Council will weigh future use of Sixth Street east of Alamitos Avenue at a March 14 public hearing. The hearing responds to an appeal by Joseph Kubasch and Howard LeTourneau after the Planning Commission denied their request to operate a packaging and distribution plant for vitamins and find products at 1495 E. Sixth St. Neighbors urged reversion to residential zoning. Naturade Products proposed buying the property for the plant in a building already standing. The area is mainly multifamily residential, with a warehouse operating under a special permit since before the current zoning.
