## Across the Barricades

by Richard Rosenkranz
Lippincott

A remarkable -- wholly absorbing, credible, minute, precise, first-hand -- account of a student rebellion. It is the story of the occupation (and of the occupiers) of Avery Hall, Columbia University's school of architecture, in the spring of 1968, one of the five buildings that were taken over by students. The author, who was doing graduate work in journalism at the time, went to Avery Hall as a reporter and remained as a demonstrator-reporter. In a general way, the book may be described as an apologia for student rebels, but the work is more honest than polemical, it insists on the differences among the people protesting -- on their distinct temperaments, their varying motivations, their diverse problems, and their divergent ambitions. No reader could conceivably like -- or even sympathize with -- all the students equally, nor did they themselves equally like or approve of each other. And Mr. Rosenkranz is as frank about the doubts and fears of the group as he is about everything else. The members of the group do, though, seem to resemble one another in some ways, such as not being easy with abstract ideas; on the other hand, most of them have either a childlike or artistic grasp of the immediate and the concrete. Most are kind, and -- what is most attractive -- they desire more, not less, responsibility, both in their lives as students and in their professional futures as they conceive them.
