...major U.S. universities, from New Jersey's Rutgers to the University of Hawaii, students are protesting compulsory membership in the Reserve Officers Training Corps. Pacifist groups sometimes exploit the protest, as they did in the pre-World War II days; but the real complaint is the U.S. Army's archaic training course on campus. While wags deride the jazzy new forest-green uniform ("Robin Hood's Men"), those who wear it resent long hours of playing doughboy with World War I machine guns. Last week dissidents were stirring up many a state university campus. Samples...
...school gives in, the protest might spread like panty raids. No fewer than 154 U.S. colleges and universities require basic Army ROTC for every able-bodied nonveteran in freshman and sophomore classes. (Another 80 schools have small volunteer units.) Training officers admit that Army's basic ROTC enrollment (national total: 127,000 students) might fall to one-fifth of the present level in some schools if compulsion ended...
Letters of Protest. At week's end the Post-Dispatch, under the heading, "Dissent to a Story," printed several letters of protest. Example: "If Mr. Prince has paid his 'debt to society,' why then hold up his past to public opprobrium?" But beyond that, the paper was unmoved.

Indeed they did-but not so much about Frank Prince as about the Post-Dispatch...
Weekly Improvement. The strike began last November when 54 Oregonian and Journal stereotypers walked off their jobs in protest against the Oregonian's plans to buy a highly automated German plate-casting machine. When other printing craftsmen followed, Oregonian and Journal brass joined forces, moved into the Oregonian's mechanical department, began putting out a pied, but still readable, combined edition of the Oregonian-Oregon Journal (TIME, Nov. 23). A call for mechanical help went out to nonunion papers throughout the U.S., and the jointly published paper soon was limping along with 72 experienced hands recruited from...
Jammed Churches. News that the letter was to be read leaked out in advance, and record crowds jammed 624 churches across the country. Women wore family heirloom jewelry and dressed in black as a sign of mourning and protest. They listened in hushed excitement as the letter boldly and dramatically demanded rights that Trujillo has systematically denied for 30 years-privacy of home and family, the right to emigrate, the freedoms of conscience, press and assembly...
