...NEWS HOUR: GENERATIONS APART (CBS, 10-11 p.m.). The barriers between generations, as seen by students, S. I. Hayakawa, Margaret Mead, Herbert Marcuse, Sidney Hook and Dr. Benjamin Spock. Part 2 of a series, this segment is called "A Profile of Dissent...
Under a soft, woolly tam-o'-shanter, San Francisco State College's stopgap president, S. I. Hayakawa, proved every whit as hardheaded as the cops in riot helmets whom he called to quell turmoil on his campus. Day after day, newspapers and TV showed the Japanese-American semanticist with his academic Bushido fully aroused. The result of all that public exposure, Pollster Mervin Field reported last week, is another instant political personality...

If an election were held today, Field's California Poll indicated, the Democratic educator would trounce incumbent Republican Max Rafferty, a hard-lining conservative, for state Superintendent of Public Instruction.

In a press conference, Hayakawa cautiously refrained from claiming victory, and promised to withhold decision on disciplinary penalties involving more than probation until after April 11. "This commitment," he explains, "is made in order to give the B.S.U.-T.W.L.F. the opportunity to demonstrate their leadership in establishing peaceful conditions on campus." Until then, a force of more than 150 riot-equipped San Francisco police will continue to patrol the troubled campus...
