So many ways to attain knowledge. Memorizing, scanning, reviewing, burning the midnight oil - cram- ming. So many ways to just get by. Students we are. We come in all shapes and sizes and can be found in all nooks and crannies on cam- pus. We study alone in a quiet room - to learn. We study on steps, on benches or in corners -to cram and maybe pass. We study in twos -just to be together. We study in groups - to reduce the tension and ex- change bits of wisdom, And, despite all else, students we are.

CONFRONTATICN 0N CAMPUS lt began with the Oakland olice force p . . . and ended with an embarrassed administration. ln between came a sit-in and a walk-outg a teach-in and a boycott. Black United Students cried racial prejudice and Students for a Democratic Society seized the opportunity to spread their philosophy. The administration said anyone had a right to recruit on campus - including the Oakland police force. BUS said by allowing the racist force on campus the uni- versity was condoning racial discrimination. So BUS linked arms to sit-in and SDS gave their black brothers and sisters support via pickets, posters and proclamations. Dean Matson im- plied possible arrests and BUS flew into a rage. With clenched fists and raised arms BUS ll, walked-out while cries of Amnesty were heard across the campus. A week of disorder ensued with rumors and counter rumors, fist fights and understanding. Then the administration admit- ted it had no basis for charges, BUS came back, SDS put their posters away and the campus re- turned to some semblance of normality. The year was marked with student unrest. Protests against the draftg heckling the men in ROTC as they marched on the commonsg a black coffin signifying that the national presi- dential election really offered no choice - just as death offers no choice. The student voice was raised loud and clear at KSU . . . perhaps someone listened.
