Yellin was a youthful member of the Communist Party prior to his enrollment at Illinois as an engineering graduate student and recipient of a paid university fellowship. When he was found guilty of four charges of contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), the university suspended him, then later rescinded the suspension, all with no apparent involvement by President Henry. The United States Supreme Court eventually overturned Yellin’s conviction.

Rallies were scheduled to protest the killings and the invasion; activist leaders announced support for a nationwide strike, black ministers met with their city council but received no answers. Demonstrations spread to colleges throughout the state and across the country, while Illinois students turned violent after an evening RU rally, breaking windows in several buildings. The strike began on Wednesday, with hundreds of picket lines across campus, the number growing throughout the week, so that by Friday the university was virtually closed, though Peltason refused to make the closure official. Ogilvie sent nine thousand guardsmen to the campus, calling for calm.

In a quiet end to a tumultuous year, Jim Kornibe was elected student-body president on a platform of increased student control. Daily Illini writer Linda Picone asked if the campus New Left had run out of steam with its year-long focus on teach-ins, gripe-ins, pray-ins, and educational days of protest, events high on edification but low on excitement. Some campus leaders shifted focus to CRJ, while others questioned the way forward, as student rebellions raged in France, China, and Mexico. Chancellor Peltason spoke with pride of the Project 500 program, likening it to university efforts for the handicapped.

At the next SACA rally the movement widened its scope, renaming itself Students for Free Speech (SFS), and published a manifesto that spoke of broader goals, including “human freedom.” The new group voted to invite Louis Diskin, an avowed member of the Communist Party, to speak on campus, though moderates expressed concern at the new direction. Student senators offered meeting space to the DuBois Club in their offices, violating university rules; in late March Diskin spoke to a crowd of thousands on the quad, yet despite all appearances the administration claimed the speech did not violate the Clabaugh Act.

Dean of Students Millet assumed the point position on the DuBois issue, making public statements regarding the status, reviews, analyses, and delays in decision-making. A faculty committee recommended club recognition. Campus activists, from Young Socialists to student senators, declared the DuBois issue one of “Free Speech” (mimicking Berkeley), created an ad hoc committee, and birthed a campus free-speech movement. Henry declared a reorganization, creating a new chancellor position to manage the main campus and named Jack W. Peltason to the job. The first campus antiwar speak-out was organized. Phil Durrett and Vic Berkey advanced as movement leaders.

The Committee to End the War in Vietnam (CEWV) formed, antiwar “gripe-ins” began in the Union, protesters demonstrated against military recruiting stations, and freshman activist Keven Roth wrote about it all in a letter home. The DRU brought a draft resister to speak in the Red Herring, SDS did the same with a national organizer, and the student senate invited antiwar activist Staughton Lynd to speak in the Union. SDS announced they were planning a protest, specifics to be determined, against the presence of the Dow Chemical Company, scheduled to visit campus in October.

Energies around the DuBois Club issue, the Clabaugh Act, national civil rights activism, and growing antiwar agitation all flowed together to make 1967 a watershed year for protest on the campus. An anti-Clabaugh Act event at the Chicago campus sparked sympathy demonstrations on the Urbana campus quadrangle that grew day by day. Activists formed SACA, Students Against the Clabaugh Act, and Vern Fein arose as a movement leader. Rallies on the quad called for a public meeting with Henry to discuss the Clabaugh Act. Henry demurred.

Koch was an assistant professor of biology and author of a letter to the student newspaper condoning premarital sexual intercourse and cohabitation for sufficiently mature university students. Parents, community leaders, and Illinois newspapers strongly condemned him and called for his firing. A faculty committee quickly recommended dismissal, which President Henry approved. The American Association of University Professors (AAUP), Illinois students, and many faculty, both at Illinois and across the nation, came to Koch’s defense, to no avail. The case was appealed all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the firing stood.

In the aftermath of the Dow sit-in, the university became bogged down in bureaucracy as it attempted to adapt its disciplinary procedures to the acts committed: students worked first to ensure their complicity and then to avoid punishment; law faculty leaped to their defense; the public, legislature, and newspapers rushed to share their opinions. Five graduate students and fifteen undergrads were brought before two separate committees, which announced contradictory light sentences for the grads and expulsion for the undergrads. Hundreds rallied on the quad to protest the expulsions, which were rescinded within days, with equal light punishment meted for all. Forty-seven others eventually received the same.

Spring began with protests against defense contractor General Electric’s campus recruiting, and after an RU rally students turned violent, breaking windows in the building housing recruiters. Crowds massed in Green Street and police cleared them, but at night crowds again broke windows on the quad. The next day trustees canceled a William Kunstler speech; angry students stormed Green Street, breaking windows in several stores. Governor Ogilvie called out 750 National Guardsmen, every one needed to control crowds on a third night of rioting. Only a minority of students turned violent, but frustration was high.
