Then There Was Dow
Then There Was Dow
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.
