Show Michigan students strike ANN ARBOR, Mich. (CPS)-Thousands of students stayed out of classes Sept. 29 at the University of Michigan in support of a campus-wide strike called to protest the refusal of the administration adminis-tration to allow the student government gover-nment to set up a student-faculty controlled bookstore. The strike was called for in a rally of over 2,000 students Sept. 26 in the wake of the early morning morn-ing arrest of 107 demonstrators who had been occupying the centrally cen-trally located Literature, Science, and Arts Building since the previous pre-vious afternoon. The students had tried to occupy the administration building, but found it locked. The students at the rally approved of the strike in standing cheering acclamation,, after University Uni-versity President Robben Flemming told the crowd the unidersity board of regents "is unwilling to consider further the original student government council bookstore proposal" and is "unwilling to hold a meeting (to consider the issue) under the course of circumstances that now exist." : |
