ROTC Building Burned; National Guard Troops Arrive at Kent State University

FOUR DAYS IN MAY 1970 - On May 2, tension was high between students and Kent townspeople. The mayor called Gov. Rhodes and requested the National Guard, which arrived at 10 p.m. as the ROTC building was burning. No arsonist was ever found. The troops skirmished with students, using tear gas and at least student was bayoneted. (To be continued on May 3.)
