Wisconsin Guard clashes with students UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN (UPI) National Guardsmen tossing tear gas grenades and carrying fixed bayonets clashed with student strikers yesterday in the fifth day of disorders on the University of Wisconsin campus. Wisconsin National Guardsmen, part of a contingent of 900 ordered out by Gov. Warren P. Knowles to quell disruption of school activities, moved into action to disperse strikers when they blocked traffic on busy U.S. 12 which cuts through the heart of the univerity campus. Student strikers, an estimated 400 strong, were bested and sea tered in a series of scuffles with bayonet packing guardsmen and police wielding night sticks. Striking students see the guardsmen as another, more ominous symbol of “racist oppression.” But students attending classes yesterday generally expressed gratitude for the presence of the troops. “I think it’s disgusting,” a striking girl student said. “I feel as if I’m in an occupied country.” Her bearded friend said, “This is just like being in Nazi Germany.” THE But a freshman in fashion design, whose parents are threatening to take her from the campus for her own protection, said she was very glad the guardsmen were here. “1 want to be protected,” she said. The comments were terse, with strikers calling guardsmen “Fascist pigs” and racists.” Two long-haired students approached a OBSERVERServing the Notre Dame and St. Mary's College Community guardsmen, pointed to his bayonet and asked him, “Are you going to use that thing today?” VOL.III.NO 81 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14. 1969 “I sure hope not,” the guardsman said.

Last night approximately 100 St. Mary’s students met in another effort to discuss the abrupt dismissal of eight faculty members and its effect on future policies. The two hour meeting resulted in a decision to postpone any type of action: boycott or otherwise, until after the Sunday night Open Forum with Father McGrath. “Give the man a chance to explain” seemed to be the general consensus. The OBSERVER has no quarrel with this decision. To act now might very well block any further chance at communication with the administration. Militancy for its own sake is almost never successful. At St. Mary’s, where no direct action has ever been taken against anything except Notre Dame, such a procedure would be utterly ridiculous. There is, however, a danger in the way that this issue has been approached. For many of the girls the contract dispute is merely a jumping off point for yet another Bitch-In. They go to the meetings and they vent their spleen on the administration, the faculty and the great student body blob. But that is it. Having reassured each other once again that St. Mary’s is indeed a rotten place to visit, let alone live, they drop the subject until another crisis arises. There are several courses of action open to the students. They must listen to Father McGrath; listen intelligently and with a minimum of % animosity. But if they are not satisfied with his answers, they must be prepared to let him know in the most effective way possible. Whether or not this is a sit-in or a mass boycott of classes has yet to be determined. They must decide to do something. An issue as important as one that determines the type of teachers at St. Mary’s cannot be allowed to languish in committee, or be smothered in legal rhetoric. » St. Mary’s students have lived for five months with a Community h Government that has been a community enterprise in name only. Faculty and administration have a voice in governing student life, but the student body has been denied eftective representation in academic and administrative decisions. The present situation can only make the student body aware of the inequity of St. Mary’s “community” government.
