Scores flung themselves on the student union floor to dramatize the innocent Iraqis they say will die if the U.S invades that country. More than 1,000 others skipped classes and trekked through several inches of snow Wednesday afternoon for an antiwar ``teach-in'' at the University of Chicago's Rockefeller chapel. The acts of defiance on this campus were part of a coast-to-coast effort in which thousands of high school and college students cut class, read poetry, performed skits and played loud rock music in an effort to halt what they view as an irrational march toward war in Iraq. More than 300 high schools and colleges participated in the protest, characterized as a national student strike. Thousands of students in Britain, Sweden, Spain and Australia rallied in solidarity with their counterparts in America, who wanted to highlight the effects of war on domestic issues, including on education, health care and the economy.

The program would help the district alleviate crowding at its nine high schools, while simultaneously giving advanced students the chance to earn college credit. It's possible, district officials said, that students could use the program to earn a free two-year college degree while still in high school. "It looks like the interest is pretty high," said district administrator Bob Dorn. "I think once they get on the college campus, we'll see it grow."

The policy applies, for example, to student writing and underground newspapers. Under the new policy, students' right to freedom of expression is protected as long as the writing does not cause "material disruption: of the school."

During the period July 8 - July 26, the students, accompanied by six adult drivers, will travel more than 5,000 miles throughout the South on a Civil Rights tour. The momentous events portrayed in the Eyes on the Prize series will come alive for these young people, who have undertaken to speak about their experiences and the history of the Movement in Massachusetts schools next academic year. The students meet with Movement veterans, see the sites where history was made in such cities as Greensboro, Orangeburg, Birmingham, Montgomery, Selma, Jackson, Memphis and Little Rock, and come together with young people around the South who are working in their schools and communities to bring about positive social change.
Extractions: contents page A keynote address by John Artis, who was falsely convicted with Rubin "Hurricane" Carter and served 15 years in prison before being released, will highlight the annual Heman Sweatt Symposium on Civil Rights April 17-20. The theme for this year’s event is "Capital Punishment in Texas: Is Justice Served." In addition to Artis’ talk, several other activities are planned for the symposium, including two panel discussions that will examine the media and legal perspectives associated with the death penalty and the showing of the movie "The Hurricane," starring Denzel Washington, that chronicles the events that landed Artis and Carter in prison. All events are free and open to the public. In 1966, Artis was a 19-year-old high school graduate in Paterson, N.J., with a promising future. He was an athlete, Boy Scout, altar boy and a college scholarship recipient. He also was an African American man driving a white car with Carter the night three people were killed by two other African American men driving the same color car. Artis and Carter were convicted of the murders after a known criminal testified against them in exchange for $10,000 and a light sentence. Artis was sentenced to three concurrent life terms at Rahway Prison with the possibility of parole after 15 years.
