Editorial board: David C. Langzettel, editor; Richard N. Dyer; Donald E. Sanborn Jr. Business manager; Sidney \V. Farr '55.

Published quarterly (fall, winter, spring, summer) by the Alumni Council of Colby College. E11tcred as second-class mail at Watcn illc, i\laine. Student response to this resolution \lay 6 was a 1,040-1 77 ,·ote to join the two-day-old strike initiated by the ?\ational Student Association. Deaths at Kent (Ohio), more than war expansion, triggered the unprecedented turnout. The Kent State incident wa. the culmination of the "suppression" the resolution deplored.
A faculty member recalled a more pecific irritant during an outdoor rally: "You ha,·e been called 'bums' b)' the highest authority in the land, and I suspect you feel it right down to your toes."
The faculty sanctioned use of the word "community" "·ith a 7 1- 21 ,·ote of strike support, with 1 o abstentions. "This is a strike of and by the college, not against the college," a student leader aid. '·Whate,·er you do, do it peacefully."
Faculty support didn't indicate full agreement with the open-ended resolution, however. Implicit in the \·ote was the decision to re-e\"aluate the situation four days later. l\foreo\"er, some faculty felt that a strike "plays into the hands of the anti-intellectuals," as one professor put it. Failure to continue classes would hurt Colby and the 'Cni,·ersity concept, he said. Others questioned whether "business-as-u ual" was feasible or appropriate. Some saw academic freedom threatened by the rhetoric of President Nixon's administration, and by use of force to quell campus unrest.
After tudents reaffirmed their strike ,·ote \1ay 1 o, the faculty voted to resume "the regular academic schedule" the next day. The faculty resolution added: " ... any student who wishes may ...be given a pass/fail grade ba ed on his work up to the present. tudents who continue in the course will be gi,·en letter grades."
Those taking "passes" needed a standing of C or better prior to \lay 6. They would earn two "quality" credits toward graduation (216 required for 1970). By returning to classes, others could earn A or B rank worth We the members of the Colby College community vote three and four credits. to strike in accordance with the growing national The Echo chided the faculty, despite its movement.

H'aiti11g f01 the vote that led to a three-day suspension of classes Kent State and Cambodia galvanized student concern as ne,·er before. Some in strike activities hadn't become involved in "protest." Student government representati,·es were enthused over turnouts for the vote a march downtown with four flag-draped coffins, movin� chapel services for the slain Kent State students and the senators' visits. But when the strike had entered its third week, some of the early enthusiasm declined. Acti\"ities were much like those at other campuses: letter-writing to Congressmen; a "cam·ass" bringing the word about the strike and student points of view to area citizens, and suggested boycotts of products made by firms linked with war and pollution. A delegation attended Maine's Democratic convention to support a peace plank that was adopted. On campus, faculty and others contributed by holding daily lecture-discussion sessions on such topics as the origins and economics of the war, racism, responsibilities of a college during crises, "breakdown in the structure of Senator Edmund S. 1'111skie American democracy" and communication with "middle discussions and lectures based on preconceived views of America." Less partisan activities included donating the war and domestic issues. blood for wounded Gis, an anti-litter campaign, voter At the out et, President Strider urged students to "see registration drives and inviting the Waterville American both sides...

Colby provided a central location. Two spring incidents, neither damaging, caused concern. Up to 70 students staged a two-day Air Force ROTC sit-in before classes were resumed May 1 1; and a kerosene Molotov cocktail, ineptly made and perhaps not intended to explode, smashed harmlessly through an ROTC office window late in May. The sit-in was abandoned mainly because it lacked student support. Colby's strike aims didn't include abolition of ROTC.

This Spring marked the 50th anniversary of the first presentation of the Condon Medal to the senior judged Colby's outstanding citizen by classmates. The college too/1 note of the occasion by publishing a booldet on the life of Randall Judson Condon '86 and the history of the medal. Author of the booklet is Frank C.Fo;ter '16, Condon's son-in-law, who repre sents five generations of Colby graduates. Carl Zahn, the Bos/011 J\111se11111 of Art's distinguished designer, was commissioned last year to produce a new medal. Randall Condon, a promine11l figure in American education, established a permanent fund at Colby "providing an award each year lo the member ... of the graduating class ... who, in the opinion of said graduating class, has exhibited during his or her col lege course the finest qualities of constructive citizen ship." Dr.Foster wrote in his essay that "Randall Condon's life expressed what he sought in the way of opportuni ties for others .... Character, citizenship, integrity, spirit, soul and heart; spiritual and moral values were qualities he respected. . . .
