...would be going overboard to call these two moves an onslaught of censorship or suppression of student freedom; both activities come technically under University control, and the University has a right to handle its own public relations.

As some 80 windows shattered, guests were moved into the ballroom, where the hotel provided blankets and baskets of free food. Some 20,000 other evacuees were given sanctuary in 83 Red Cross shelters in the area...
