Kent State, Jordan stir student reaction Obviously a university must be concerned with its own problems first. But at the same time the university should not become so bogged down with one of its own issues that it steals completely from any concern for such things as community urban problems and national politics. Ken Burrows Junior, Arts Teach-ins, a boycott of classes, a four-day fast, a night-time peace vigil, a sit-in at the ROTC offices and two memorial Masses marked Creighton ' s observance of opposition to the Vietnam-Cambodian war and the death of four Kent State University students. These incidents also marked the end of the ' 69-70 school year. This year, only one week into the fall semester, Creighton students were again spurred into an acute awareness of national events. News of the Pentagon alert of troops for possible use in the evacuation of American citizens from Jordan produced a variety of reactions. Approximately 300 underclassmen chose to show their apprehension by a midnight Mass in the East Quadrangle. Some students read short poems and prayers; others simply thanked the rest of the group for their concern. A few students protested ROTC ' s presence on campus after President Nixon sent troops into Cambodia. The masses said the f ass again as William Manning read scripture passages to 500 students in the East Quadrangle. 25
