...Francisco State College, a months-old student strike was complicated by a partial walkout by teachers. Mounted police charged groups of students along off-campus streets; rocks flew and the toll of arrests and injuries climbed steadily. The basic issue faced by Acting President S. I. Hayakawa remained the demands for more minority admissions and minority studies posed by the Black Students Union and the Third World Liberation Front, an organization representing campus minority groups other than Negroes. Some of the demands have been met, but the militants insist that all must be satisfied without negotiations or compromise. Governor Ronald...
Thus the AP led its own story last week on the first strike by editorial employees in its history. While most Guild reporters, photographers, cartoonists and clerks (total AP Guild membership: 1,374) either manned or respected picket lines in front of AP bureaus across the country, nearly 2,000 non-strikers, supervisory personnel and unaffected overseas staffers continued to churn out a steady flow of teletype news to AP's roughly 8,500 worldwide subscribers...

A more basic difference is the Guild's insistence that eight out of ten new AP employees must join the union. AP General Manager Wes Gallagher has called the demand "non-negotiable." If the AP "is to maintain its standards of objectivity," he said, "it cannot force its news employees into any organization, including a union...
...FIVE days till "automatic resignation" ticked off, Hayakawa discovered another problem. Even though most of the college's teachers were not on strike, most of the departments refused to release any attendance figures on absent professors. And so last Monday, when Hayakawa thought he would be able to out the striking teachers, he found himself clutching at batches of harmless "Full Attendance" reports...
...hard to see many hopeful signs in the San Francicso deadlock. Hayakawa claims that he is reaching "meaningful stages of negotiations" with the BSU, but few black students are ready to give up their strike. The teachers' strike is no nearer to solution than it was last week; as Reagan, Dumke, and Hayakawa have remained intractable, the teachers have won backing from other labor unions and other groups of teachers in the State College chain. And although there have been fewer violent clashes in the last few days than earlier, growing numbers of students seem committed to proving that they...
