For three successive days students rioted in the streets of Madrid, Spain. The authorities were finally forced to close the University of Madrid-at first for a few days, then for an indefinite period. The street rioting has been ascribed generally to student dissatisfaction with the Falangist University Syndicate, which has failed to support widespread demands for improved conditions in the universities. So much of the story has reached the headlines. But according to the article author, behind this story is another, told to him by three University of Madrid students who have just arrived in Paris, France where they hope to continue their studies at the Sorbonne University in Paris.
