Four months later, it has become clear that much of Hayakawa's tough talk was bluff. On his own campus, Hayakawa simply could not muster the strength to break the strike. The only glimmers of hope came when Hayakawa--through his face-saving negotiating committee--gave in to some of the student demands about black studies. And by the time the formal truce came last week, Hayakawa had dropped his most adamant previous stand--that all the student strikers be expelled...
...despite the snarl of potential troubles, it seems certain that no one at S.F. State wants another strike. There may be mini-confrontations over amnesty, Hare, and Murray, but neither Hayakawa nor the students is willing to take the kind of hard line that will embroil that campus in another six months of horror. And President Nixon's relatively light-handed statement on student protests last week showed Hayakawa that the rest of the country isn't ready for the crackdown either--at least not as a result of S.F. State's example...
...BEFORE campus liberals get too cocky, they should listen to the alarming noises coming from the other side of San Francisco Bay. The inevitable showdown looming at Berkeley and the other University of California campuses poses a far more fundamental threat to university liberty than Hayakawa and his policemen ever made. At worst, Hayakawa threatened to clamp down on students' right to dissent; at best, Ronald Reagan and his Board of Regents are trying to destroy basic rights of academic and intellectual independence...

After what has seemed to many Californians to be a constant succession of campus explosions, more and more voters are itching for Reaganesque reprisals against the students. And when a poll was taken late last month, some 75 per cent of those same California voters said they thought the time had come for the governor to get really tough with the students who were wrecking the schools...
...realistic step towards stopping riots, ousting Marcuse was obviously absurd. In the sunny San Diego campus of the UC system, Marcuse did little but walk the beaches with his crowd of devotees. Clumps of five or six Marcusians would discuss revolution as they strolled from the UCSD campus to their beach houses in affluent La Jolla, but there was little real revolution brewing at UCSD. Marcuse's books, of course, exerted an enormous international impact. But even in their grandest moments of self-congratulation, the Regents wouldn't have imagined that it was Marcuse's post at UCSD that gave...
