Abstract
What began as a caper has grown into a deadly serious affair — if numbers of bloodied heads, broken windows, and tear gas bombings are any indication. By all accounts, last spring Southern Illinois University barely missed becoming another Kent or Jackson State. In a week of protests there occurred dozens of injuries and hundreds of arrests. And the chief campus issue precipitating all the violence was the much criticized Center for Vietnamese Studies and Programs.
