...wrong more often than right at rock festivals across the U.S. this summer. In June, the Newport '69 Festival outside Los Angeles was disrupted repeatedly as gangs of toughs and pseudo toughs crashed the gates by the thousands, threw sticks, bottles and rocks at the police. At the Denver Pop Festival the next weekend, gate crashers lobbed firecrackers, bottles and debris at the police and the police threw tear gas.

Fund Chairman Richard Lombard also reported a "financial vote of confidence" by some Dartmouth men who had refused to contribute for as long as five years. Denver University's Chan cellor Maurice Mitchell, who expelled 39 sit-in demonstrators last year, recently inspired a torrent of admiring letters-and donations-when he vowed to ignore further student threats. Denver's average alumni gift increased from $30 to $46.77, while overall donations rose...
