This fall, student dissidents were expected to create more chaos on more campuses than ever. But they have failed to disrupt the University of California at Berkeley, where the wave of rebellion began four years ago. Last week a call for a campus-wide strike was heeded by less than 20% of Berkeley's 28,000 students, even though the activists had an issue far more provocative than anything enjoyed by Mario Savio and his 1964 Free Speech Movement...
Retrieving Books. True to his word, Heyns called in campus police to arrest 105 students who had occupied Sproul Hall for ten hours. The students did not resist arrest and the cops were so polite that one demonstrator was even led back inside to retrieve his forgotten books.

...Thus, when in September between thirty and forty thousand Ibos were killed in massive anti-Ibo riots in Hausa territory, the association between the massacres and government policy seemed obvious to leaders among the Ibo. Odumegwu Ojukwu, then the Governor of East Central State, which is Ibo, issued a call for all his tribesmen to return to the safety of their Eastern homeland, deported all non-Ibos, and seceded...
