Like the ghetto riots, campus riots flourished where the authorities failed to use their authority to preserve order. Instead, academics sought to cleverly finesse the issues with negotiations, concessions and mealy-mouthed expressions of "understanding" of the concerns raised by campus rioters.

S. I. Hayakawa was a notable exception:

"But it was action, not words, that first gained him prominence outside of academia. He had been interim president of San Francisco State for less than a week when he climbed onto a sound truck on the campus on Dec. 2, 1968, and ripped the wires from the loudspeaker during a student protest. The event was captured on live television, and the slender, soft-spoken scholar with a fondness for multihued tam-o'-shanters became one of the most popular figures in California. He was dubbed "Samurai Sam."
