Noticeably Unhappy. The South Vietnamese will most likely send to Paris a five-man "mission of liaison" headed by Ambassador to the U.S. Bui Diem. Saigon broke off relations with France in 1965 after De Gaulle offered one piece of advice too many about the war, but it is represented in Paris by a consul general; he can provide the mission with a convenient base.

Uniformed officers plunged into the breach to smash open the doors, while others broke in through underground tunnels. At Fayerweather Hall, where protesters had preplanned every act by majority vote, students who intended to submit cleanly to arrest lined up at the door; those who preferred to be dragged out sat on an upper floor; those who decided to resist linked arms on another floor...
...chaos at Columbia seemed contagious, as minirevolutions broke out on other campuses across the nation. At Princeton, more than 500 students demonstrated in support of such demands as turning trustee powers over to faculty and students, got President Robert F.

At the Stony Brook campus of the State University of New York, 50 students staged a 17-hour sit-in at the school's business office to express sympathy with the Columbia protesters and to assail the invasion of the campus...
