...Craig Morgan, 20, student body president, was arrested in student government offices on the campus. He was charged with second-degree rioting during the disturbances of May 1 to 4. Thomas S. Lough, 42, an associate professor of sociology and anthropology, surrendered on a count of inciting to riot May 4, the day four Kent students were killed in a clash with National Guardsmen...
...majority of the world's cultures. Man in his cups is presumed to be irresponsible, out of control; by anaesthetizing the higher centers of the brain, alcohol unshackles the primordial beast. In Drunken Comportment, published by Aldine Press, two U.C.L.A. social scientists challenge this venerable theory. Intoxication, say Craig MacAndrew and Robert B.

In Wheelis' view, the cause is not only Craig's outrages but the subtly pervasive spirit of the age. Behaviorists, technophiles and their parrots in the social sciences have overemphasized the lock step of instinct at the expense of free will. For many people, the result is a form of fatalism that destroys belief in the possibility of change...
