Toward the Ticket. When some 300 students from dilapidated, predominantly Negro Bowie State College appeared at the Statehouse to protest their school's condition, Agnew refused to see them, ordered out the state police, who arrested 227. "I was not going to respond while they were putting the pressure on," Agnew said. Curiously, the Governor had already doubled the school's budget and added capital funds to upgrade the college. What annoyed him was that the demonstrators had failed to make an appointment with him. Agnew cherishes a routine governed by an appointments calendar as neatly arranged as the rows...
...gritted their teeth and gone to the aid of their party. But many of them are bitter, angry and frustrated; a number of youthful campaigners now actively op pose Humphrey by working in Nixon's youth division. A few disgruntled Mid west supporters even vow that they will protest by voting for George Wallace. Ann Hart, Michigan Senator Phil Hart's daughter, who tirelessly helped from New Hampshire on, says she cannot "in conscience" vote for Humphrey. Sue Moores, a 27-year-old Seattle housewife, puts her objection more bluntly: "I won't vote for a phony...

To be sure, an evenhanded strengthening of NATO's conventional defenses is in order, and the U.S. must insist on foolproof surveillance clauses in any nuclear-arms-reduction treaty. London Historian Walter Laqueur points out: "As Soviet foreign policy becomes less Communist in character, it also becomes less predictable and rational. The ideological appeal of Soviet Communism no longer exists, but the Soviet...
...understood, student protest can be a positive and progressive force," says Young. "One of the real problems we're confronted with is a feeling by a large number of students that something is wrong with U.C.L.A. since we haven't had any riots." One reason for the calm is the tripartite University Policies Commission that Young drew up last winter. Composed of students, teachers and administrators, the commission advises on the university's major policy decisions before they are enacted. Young comments that many student committees "actually tend to be a little conservative, especially where fiscal policy...
