Issues of race dominated the semester as black anger was on prominent display and white activists scrambled to provide support. Chicago Black Panthers visited the campus to speak, but a misunderstanding regarding a stipend caused white angst. The Vietnam War was not forgotten, as star footballer Mickey Hogan quit the sport and joined the activists, and the issue of violence became central to the student movement. The BSA made accusations of institutional racism against the university and white activists debated how to back them. With no appetite for sit-ins at this point, a march on the president’s house made do.
种族问题主导了这个学期，黑人的愤怒得到了突出的体现，白人活动人士争先恐后地提供支持。芝加哥黑豹党(Chicago Black Panthers)来到校园演讲，但关于津贴的误解引起了白人的焦虑。越南战争并没有被遗忘，足球明星米基·霍根(Mickey Hogan)退出了这项运动，加入了激进分子的行列，暴力问题成为学生运动的核心。BSA指责哈佛大学存在制度性种族主义，白人活动人士就如何支持他们展开了辩论。由于目前没有兴趣进行静坐抗议，在总统官邸举行的游行也凑合了。

SDS split in two: the SDS/RYM (Revolutionary Youth Movement)--led by Jeff Jones, Bernardine Dohrn, and Mark Rudd, soon to become Weathermen—and the SDS/PL (Progressive Labor), led by old-school Marxists. The Weathermen visited campus, recruiting for a revolutionary action in Chicago, a failed effort—few Illini followed their lead—and the local SDS withdrew from the national organization, as antiwar feelings were now mainstream on campus but violent revolution was not. The Radical Union (RU) formed, supporting a national march on Washington; the FBI arrested three on campus for harboring a deserter; Seymour Hersh exposed the My Lai massacre.

With an escalated Vietnam war, domestic riots, assassinations, the Chicago convention, a presidential campaign, and worldwide student rebellions all contributing to a widespread sense of events having run out of all control, 1968 was a year marked for history. On the Illinois campus, where activists were hard pressed to keep up with events, much less understand or influence them, the year would be pivotal for the movement as establishment forces introduced an unprecedented level of violence directed at students for the first time in U.S. history. Activist reaction to the establishment violence would determine the future of the student movement.

Numerous university faculty appeared at the board of trustees meeting, declared support for DuBois Club recognition, and stated there was no evidence to deem the club subversive and that the university’s educational environment required an open exchange of ideas. The board’s own subcommittee agreed and also recommended approval. The board voted to accept these recommendations and allow the university to recognize the club. Politicians and newspaper editorial writers immediately attacked the decision. President Henry supported the decision.

The state senate pressured the board to rescind the decision on the DuBois Club under threat of budgetary implications for the university; the governor supported the board. Letters poured into the president’s office, and Henry asked Millet to delay implementation of the decision. A bill to repeal the Clabaugh Act was introduced in the legislature and easily defeated. A campus Committee to End the War was formed. At the University of Wisconsin a Dow Chemical campus recruiter drew protests. The chapter also examines a little-known Illinois connection with Dow’s napalm product.

Barely noticed that summer, the Clabaugh Act was struck down, as time had moved on. Project 500 began with a setback, as new black students meeting in the Illini Union to air grievances were rounded up and arrested even before the school year had begun. David Eisenman, foreseeing the program’s problems, suggested the chancellor could have resolved it amicably. The Chicago Tribune falsely inflated the situation into a riot, legislators loudly demanded answers, and the Black Student Association (BSA) blamed the administration. In the end the trustees supported the program; with most charges dropped grievances negotiated, classes began.

Stoddard, president of the university from 1946 to 1953, was a controversial man, an East Coaster, a liberal, and an internationalist. Through much of his tenure he had difficult relations with both the university’s board of trustees and the state legislature, and he also faced opposition from conservative faculty at UI. A scandal over a phony cancer cure brought undesired publicity to the school and was the last in a series of controversies that led to his dismissal by the board in a late-night Illini Union meeting.
