...last week he announced that he would not run for reelection. "I feel I've done my duty," he said. "I feel I don't have to do it again." He added that he had grown restless with a job that cut too deeply into the time he wanted to spend with his family. Meskill denied that his decision was influenced by Watergate, but aides admitted that he might have been induced to run against Democratic Senator Abraham Ribicoff if Watergate had not soured Republican chances.

Only when restless students from the capital's Haile Selassie University ventured outside the campus last week, to ignite an effigy of Endalkachew and demand "free speech" and "free press," were they attacked by baton-wielding police.

Throughout the fall of 1973, the poor whites got increasingly restless, feeling that the University was being unresponsive to their problems. Last December, one of the group gave The Crimson a copy of the August letter to Bok, hoping that the publicity would spur the administration to action. The group plans to hold a sit-in in Bok's office to protest the exclusion of whites from the health program, and is considering filing a class action suit on behalf of all poor whites against the program...
