About 200 University of Mex-
ico students on an antiwar
march ran into unexpected op-
position when an equal number
of high school pupils harassed
and sought to block the march-
ers. The university was closed.
Police later evicted 140 anti-
war protesters from a building,
triggering a confrontation be-
tween students and national
guard troops that sent at least
nine persons to the hospital with
stab wounds.
A university medical school
faculty member said the stab
wounds were caused by bayo-
nets.

bayonets, advanced on about
200 students outside the build-

a strike there. The Student Sen-

71 per cent of its 1,200 students

At Kent, Ohio, where the
shooting of the four students
last M o n d a y by National
Guardsmen led to the closing of
Kent State University, a student
drive was under way for a re-
opening of the school. How-
ever, officials said yesterday the
school would remain closed
through the spring term.'
More than a score of dental
students at the University of
Pennsylvania in white jackets
or uniforms circulated antiwar
petitions and demonstrated with
placards.nOne read: "Gunpow-
der stains dentures."
National Guardsmen patroled
the campus of the University of
Wisconsin in the fourth day of
violent antiwar demonstrations,
during which firefighters doused
40 to 50 blazes. The school's
president, Fred Harvey Harring-
ton, announced his resignation,
saying he had been planning to
quit before the outbreaks.
Thousands of University of
Texas students paraded in Aus-
tin in the face of a warning by
Gov. Preston Smith that he
would use whatever force was
necessary to quell violence. The
marchers kept to the sidewalks
in orderly fashion, and observed

More than 6,000 students and
young people marched on the
California Statehouse at Sacra-
mento, walking 10 abreast and
quietly chanting "All we are say-
ing is give peace a chance."
Gov. Ronald Reagan was in
Southern California for a speak-
ing engagement.
Another nonviolent march
brought an estimated 1,000 stu-
dents to the federal building in
Newark, N.J., where they heard
speeches denouncing President
Nixon, Cambodia and the Kent
State shootings.
All 27 schools in Georgia's
university system as well as pri-

closed yesterday and today.
Classes also were canceled at the
University of Miami, the Univer-

In both Georgia and Florida,

In Georgia, a judge denied the
