Many of them are editors of student newspapers. All are deeply involved in campus activities, and are thus in a position to report for TIME with special sensitivity and immediacy. Yet for the stringer, a particular difficulty lies in reconciling the dual role of student and journalist. Berkeley's Stringer Mark Gladstone is also assistant city editor of the Daily Californian and deeply committed to the strike on campus. "Staying objective is obviously impossible," he says. "The dilemma is to realize your bias and cover the event as fairly and completely as you can." Nevertheless, adds Yale Stringer...
...heavy reportorial action last week confined to the war. Covering the tide of student strikes and riots sweeping across the nation, San Francisco's Bill Marmon sadly noted that the violence at Berkeley "helped ease the cultural shock of coming home after 18 months in Viet Nam"-particularly when an enraged cop walloped him with his billy club while dispersing a crowd. The rage on both sides was especially evident to TIME'S campus "stringers" (part-time correspondents). "Watching one's friends throw rocks at police and reporters and wandering about the campus in eerie clouds...
Macalester College in St. Paul is no Berkeley, but a handful of radicals felt that they had to protest something on Earth Day. They picked a dovish political science professor, Hubert Humphrey.

...past films (Crazy Quilt, Funnyman), Director John Korty has shown a predilection for whimsy. Here, almost as a reaction, he presents a stark, lean story of a young couple who go back to the land to scratch out some meaning. They have abandoned Berkeley, and now raise sheep in the ineffable Northern California coast. To the couple, it is an act of love; to the old man, the idyl is pointless and backward. He insists on staying with the unmarried couple until the baby comes, and snipes at their supernatural way of life. As the wrangle intensifies, Korty alleviates...
...notion that gained strength with the April 15 riot: These people are willing and ready to defy cops-and on vaguely political grounds. They may be stupid about it: but they want action, not talk. Not a startling conclusion, perhaps, but we would do well to remember that in Berkeley and Santa Barbara it has been these people, not students, who have fought cops most violently. If the traditional migration of trends holds true as it has in the past, this will not be the last we will see of these battles...
