Swanston, David | January 8, 1968 issue

The article focuses on the student unrest in the San Francisco State University. A strike called to protest the suspension of four African American students, turned violent that led to closure of college and shook the campus to the core of its ethics. White activists smashed into the college administration building, broke windows and scribbled on the walls. African Americans from off campus started fires in the bookstore and tossed rocks and heavy pots through the windows. Others roughed up white students and looted the college dining hall.
