Read the roster of collegiate
race developments as reported
by U. S. News for just one week
in May. See if you can define
what is common to all of them;
beyond the obvious, that is:
— Students dodging bullets in
Chicago schools (“You would
have thought you were in Viet
nam”); in Cincinnati (demonstra
tions triggered by the suspension
of four unruly students); in East
St. Louis (bomb threats); in
South Bend (72 adults and 59
juveniles arrested); in Pittsburg,
Calif. (11 schools closed).
— In Flint, Michigan (police
called .to unhitch 200 Negroes
who had taken over a school
cafeteria); in Detroit (“The num
ber of episodes involving physi
cal attack on teachers by stu
dents is now about 16Q a year”);
in New York City (violence is
t commonplace, from which has
come “a hardening of attitude
on the part of many teachers”);
in Los Angeles (mounting con-1
cern about violence against
teachers, vandalism, walkouts
and other troubles); in Washing
ton (teachers demanding guar
antees of . their physical safety).
~_The above are all high-school
troubles, mind you, but that is
not what I want you to look for.
Try the college troubles for
the same week, see if you can
spot the common factor among
them:
< In New York City (Colum
bia’s student upheaval virtually
■ paralysed the university for
weeks); in Evanston, 111. (North

(200 students rushed a univer
sity administration building in
protest over the suspension of
seven students).
— In Carbondale, Illinois (So.
Elinois University students, 500
of them, were repulsed by po
lice for attempting to storm
the president’s office. The trou
ble grew out of the university’s
refusal to allow Stokeley Car
michael to speak on campus); in
Cheyney, Penna., (Cheyney State
College, a Negro school, saw 400
students take over the adminis
tration building. A protest leader
said: “There is nothing racial in
volved”).
— In Princeton, New Jersey
(1,000 students massed to de

education”); in Denver, Colorado
(a “student rights” sit-in was at
tempted at tile University of
Denver; police were called and
40 demonstrators were arrested
and expelled on the spot).
That is the way it went in the
academic world, as reported by
U. S. News, during one week in
May.
Now, then. What do you notice
common to- all of these inci
dents? Check the list and you
will see every one occurred out
side the South.
When in 1963-64, I had the
high honor of being the only
Washington1 lobbyist registered
in opposition to the Civil Rights
Bill, I tried repeatedly to make
my point with Northern Sena
tors. I told them, demonstrated
to them: The real thrust of the
integrationists is aimed at the
North, not the South; that there
is little the radicals want, south
of the Mason-Dixon; that the cry
“Mississippi” is a shibboleth,
nothing more; and if they allow
ed the bill to become law, they
would see proof of my argument.
Perhaps some of them remem
ber, now, as the chickens they
incubated come home to roost.
Such is the legacy of The Lib
eral Establishment.
