College Park, MD.: Police and National Guardsmen engaged in a running battle with students at the University of Maryland late 5/14. The students were protesting an announcement by the university administration that the faculty had voted down a proposal that would have given students the right to determine how they were to be graded this semester. Here, National Guardsmen (center background) keep watch on the administration building as furniture set afire by the students, burns in the foreground.
