Cambodia became a personal subject for each student. The school was tense. Through a series of Open Speech Forums, student votes, and much discussion, the Univer sity remained open. Ateach-in was proposed and realized. During the entire crisis, the University was one with the world, becoming its potential and becoming its problems. Teachers became students, and students teachers; roles changed continuously, and learn ing was a life-style.
"You who are informed and support the war; you're alright. You who are informed and oppose the war: you're alright. But you who haven't bothered to get information and be informed while over forty thousand men have died: you're the murderers! How can you allow so many to die and not care?"
