Possibly some of the people who hissed Herr Wessel know something about the accomplishments of the German SDS in recent months. For instance, of the two people killed in the Easter riots, at least one and presumably both were killed by stones.

It has, as the New York Times said in its editorial, provided "depressing confirmation of the extent to which administrative rigidity and obtuseness contributed to academic chaos." The Cox report does say that SDS members and other radical students helped...
