...protesting compulsory membership in the Reserve Officers Training Corps. Pacifist groups sometimes exploit the protest, as they did in the pre-World War II days; but the real complaint is the U.S. Army's archaic training course on campus.

Burly, olive-skinned Jo Ortiz led the slum contingents instead of setting up drinks in his Forum bar. Pious Robert Martel had brought in the farmers who belonged to his "Movement...
