...while other reports accused Black students of the vandalism. There were no arrests, however, and no student could be identified for disciplinary action. Bathrooms were flooded in the Student Center, sulfur bombs were released into the ventilation system and the halls of the engineering building and an acrid, burning smell pervaded the first three floors of Cohen Library.

...rules, often pussyfooted so softly that it was hard to tell just what they were selling. For an Oregon brewer they campaigned to "Keep Times Square Green"-with Oregon trees; for Paul Masson brandy they knocked vodka ("If you can't see it, taste it, or smell it, why bother?"); for a San Francisco FM radio station they dreamed up the Bach and Beethoven sweatshirts that swept the country...

But despite the outward resemblances to the bad old days, change is coming to Indonesia. In sharp contrast to the early '60s, that change is for the better...
