9. A year before four students were killed at Kent State University in Ohio, a young man at NORTH CAROLINA A&T STATE UNIVERSITY in Greensboro was shot and killed on campus during a Civil Rights protest at the historically black college.
It was never determined who pulled the trigger to kill Willie Grimes in May 1969, but protesters insisted it was the police.
But, what happened next, though, is undisputed. National Guard soldiers, backed up by a tank and several armored personnel carries, invaded the campus in a pre-dawn assault. They enjoyed air superiority with a plane and a helicopter dropping tear gas and "nausea gas" as they rounded up hundreds of students, most of whom were rousted from their beds after the locks on their dorm room doors were shot away.
This is horrible.
10. The UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO has boasted many distinguished graduates and must have thought it had another one when professor John Buettner-Janush became chairman of New York University's anthropology department in 1973.
But, he was convicted of using his NYU lab to manufacture LSD and methaqualone. After he was paroled, he sent poisoned Valentine's Day chocolates to the judge, whose wife ate the candy and fell ill but survived. The disgraced prof was convicted again and died in federal custody.
Nothing to be proud of Here. --DaCoot
