...University of Illinois' spectacular $8,350,000 Assembly Hall was financed by two bond issues, the interest on the bonds being paid out of student fees. Opened about a year and a half ago, the mushroom-shaped concrete structure has a capacity of 16,000 permanent seats. The university also plans a $14 million Max Abramovitz-designed center for performing arts with four diversified auditoriums for music, ballet and experimental theater...
...acquired control of a bank in Geneva and joined the Bahamas-based World Banking Corp. to gain a toehold in Latin America. It backed construction of a $30 million paper plant in Portugal, and this year became the first Swedish bank since World War II to underwrite a foreign bond issue, for a Norwegian power project. All this activity has helped Skandinaviska in the past ten years to double its assets to $1.5 billion...

Within hours, the intransigent undergraduates, since October organized in a self-styled Free Speech Movement dominated by civil rights militants, Trotskyite groups, and members of a Communist front, called a strike on the 27,500-student campus at Berkeley. "We have promised that this university shall not run," said Savio, "and we shall keep that promise." One-third of the Berkeley faculty signed a telegram to Kerr and Strong urging amnesty for the four students who face punishment...
