STUDENTS WIN 7’ TOUGH couasr

MILAN tAPi e Milan's striking architecture students , took down their classroom

3 barricades Wednesday and an-

nounced that the college fac- ulty had bowed to their de- mands for a tougher course.

The 450 students were in the let day of a shut-in strike at the University of Milan. They demanded harder classwork. stiffer exams. lectures by site- cessful practising architects and a say in arranging their college curriculum.

T college communique said teachers will meet with student representatives March 16 to work out details for the new curricu um.

The students had piled tip desks and tables and refused to allow professors into the architecture building.

Girl friends and relatives t smuggled in sandwiches. co fee. and cigarettes for th strikers.

The students complained their teachers dwelt too much on the past. glories of Italian architecture. They wanted lec- tures by the. practising archi- tects building modern Italy. They asked for harder exams to weed out the unfit.
