In a private meeting with faculty, President Henry revealed his personal opposition to the Clabaugh Act, suggesting that today’s students did not need such protection, that the law was unenforceable anyway, and that it interfered with the spirit of academic freedom. His (leaked) opinions were printed in the Daily Illini; he did not deny them. Protesters were disconcerted by their Diskin success, arguing about the way forward as the DuBois Club met in student-government offices. As the semester came to a close, Henry and Millet spoke confidently to the board about the coming year, while Vic Berkey predicted big happenings.

News broadcasts in summer 1967 were filled scenes of riots, burning cities, and National Guard troops. The peaceful civil rights movement had morphed into a demand for black power. Death totals were rising in Vietnam as the war intensified and became the central focus of the student movement. As the semester began, President Henry handed off Urbana campus management to Jack W. Peltason, the new chancellor. Millet announced looser women’s dorm rules, Steve Schmidt announced the opening of the Red Herring coffee shop, and Berkey, Durrett, and Fein, the primary campus-movement leaders, announced that SFS was disbanded--just as the Draft Resisters Union formed.
1967年夏天的新闻广播中充斥着骚乱、燃烧的城市和国民警卫队的画面。和平的民权运动演变成了对黑人权力的要求。随着战争的加剧，越南的死亡人数不断上升，并成为学生运动的中心焦点。新学期开始时，亨利校长将厄巴纳校区的管理工作交给了新任校长杰克·w·佩尔塔森(Jack W. Peltason)。小米宣布了更宽松的女生宿舍规定，史蒂夫·施密特宣布了红鲱鱼咖啡馆的开业，校园运动的主要领袖伯基、达雷特和费恩宣布了SFS的解散——就在征兵抵抗者联盟成立的时候。

Legislators, not differentiating between whites and blacks, blamed student unrest on communist influence. Students Against Racism (SAR) formed, called an unsuccessful strike, then rallied a crowd to confront trustees arriving for a board meeting, where Peltason declared Project 500 a success, announcing it would grow to seven hundred new enrollees. Late in the semester SDS members disrupted a speech by Henry and received loud jeers from his audience; violence in the C-U community spread to the campus, where a student was injured building a bomb in his frat house. That summer, Steve Schmidt was arrested, tried, and sentenced. He began his prison term.

President Henry’s office offered to meet with two student leaders. A crowd of six hundred on the quad voted down the offer, demanding a public group meeting. Henry declined, also stating he would not offer an opinion on the Clabaugh Act. Millet invited twenty student leaders to meet, suggesting that Henry, too, would be willing to meet with them. At a noon rally the crowd voted to turn down the Henry meeting, but later in the week at a follow-on rally more moderate views predominated and the crowd voted to accept Henry’s offer. Letters poured in to administrators.

The last semester of the final year of the Illinois student movement began peacefully enough, but when the Illiac IV supercomputer project was announced with suggestions it might be used for nuclear weapons development, the RU and newly formed Faculty for University Reform (FUR) quickly protested. Two youths failed in an attempt to bomb the downtown Champaign police station and were caught within moments, but no one was caught when a firebomb was thrown into the Armory ROTC office. Dr. Benjamin Spock, famous baby doctor and antiwar activist, spoke on campus, disparaging the idea of violent revolution.

Soon GE departed, as did the guardsmen; calm returned until a firebomb went through the window of the Champaign Federal Building. RU rallies restarted protesting Illiac IV, Kunstler was re-invited; failed firebombs were found in Lincoln and Altgeld Halls, but a successful device burned an Air Force recruiting office in Urbana nearly to the ground. President Henry, seeking less demanding work, announced his retirement; Jim Larabee, arrested in the recent riots, declared that worse was yet to come, and a blue-ribbon commission on campus tension agreed, declaring turmoil was not likely to cease while social ills prevailed.

We looked to find significance in the sixties, examined the university and a privileged generation faced with moral challenges who would not accept the answers offered, demanded better, and in so doing helped end a wretched war. But with that, they did not change the world the way they had hoped, instead reaching the limits of their agency and accepting the world as it was, knowing they had failed to make a revolution. Even with such failure, they remembered that as such a movement had happened once, and in the arc of history, if and when the times demanded, it would happen again.

As the war escalated, antiwar feelings increased on campus, and the first SDS meeting of the semester overflowed its venue. The Illinois student movement was sparked by the creation of a campus W. E. B. DuBois Club, whose connection to a Communist Party youth group of the same name was ambiguous. The founders announced they would seek university recognition and access to meeting rooms, adding they would challenge the twenty-year-old Clabaugh Act by bringing a communist speaker to campus, putting the administration in a quandary. This would be the seed from which the Illinois campus movement would grow.

In mid-October a peaceful Dow sit-in at UW Madison turned violent when the university’s president directed police to intervene. The day after, Illinois SDS met and voted to sit-in against a Dow visit the following week, over Gutowsky’s strenuous objection. Accompanied by an outdoor teach-in and picket lines, the action took place at the East Chem building, but the administration did not send in police, allowing the interviews to be halted, and followed with charges after the fact. The Daily Illini complimented the administration’s restraint, a small number of identified students were charged, and hundreds signed a statement of complicity.

King’s assassination moved race to center stage on campus, Eugene McCarthy entered the presidential race, Lyndon Johnson withdrew his name from nomination by his party, and Citizens for Racial Justice (CRJ) formed and proposed university action to improve race relations. Antiwar activists hosted ten days of protest with a pray-in, teach-in, and play-in called Gentle Thursday. Peltason accepted the CRJ proposal, hired a dean, and announced plans to enroll more blacks, which the Black Students Association (BSA) condemned as aiming for too few black enrollees and proceeding too slowly. As black students occupied campus buildings across the country, Peltason accelerated and expanded the enrollment program, to be known as Project 500.
