A black students’ strike yesterday culminated in the same subtlety shown in State College Chancellor Glenn Dumke’s suspension of SF State instructor and Black Panther Party Minister of Education George Murray last week. What began as a legitimate strike backing 10 demands by Black Students Union soon turned into near disaster for 18,000 SF State students. After a morning of peaceful picketing Wednesday by Students for a Democratic Society, who struck in sympathy with BSU, the situa­ tion worsened. BSU members came from a meeting at about 12:30 p.m. and par­ aded through all campus buildings and disrupted classes, heralding the end of peaceful demonstrating. Typewriters were thrown out of windows, photographers were chased in an effort to confiscate film in their cameras, and instructors and students were intimidated in T\?T»LET classrooms. Classroom doors that were locked were banged On and windows in the doors occasionally were smashed. General chaos re­ igned for nearly an hour. President Robert Smith then called the city’s police tactical squad in an effort to end the disruption on campus. We believe, along with many SF State students, that there .is the right to strike peacefully, but not to the extent that it closes down the college. ' ' * Smith, on the day before the strike, had agreed to discuss demands Election eve 1968 made by BSU. The BSU committee submitting the demands wanted Phoenix reporter Lee Heid­ ous.
