Guardsmen Not Under Attack
NEW YORK, March 25 - Author
James A. Michener says that
his investigation of last May's
shootings at Kent State University
indicates
that
National
Guardsmen were not under attack when they fired the shots
that killed four students.
The author s a y s that a c cording to a photograph taken
several
minutes
before
the
shooting began - at a time when
many reports claim Guardsmen
were under direct attack - at
least 200 yards separated the
Guards from the mass of students. Moreover, the photograph shows nearly 40 yards
of empty space plus a high
steel fence between the Guards
and the parking lot where the
students were shot.
Michener says further that
the Guard unit may unwittingly
have trapped itself by taking up
its position without realizing
that it would be surrounded by a
six-foot chain-link fence.
Michener's
conclusions
about the Kent State tragedy are
contained in the April issue of
Reader's
Digest,
which comes
out |y)arch 25. His report is the
second in a two-part condensation of a book commissioned by
the Digest, to be published a s a
Reader's Digest P r e s s Book in
cooperation with Random House
on April 30. In the April Digest's
12,500-word
section,
Michener t r a c e s moment by moment the events leading to the
shooting and the upheavals that
shook the nation afterward.
In the aftermath of the
shootings, Michener s a y s , an
unparalleled
outpouring
of
hatred was unleashed. I t took
the form of vilification of the
dead students in particular and
of young people in general. Of
the 400 students he interviewed
in preparing his story, Michener
s a y s , ''lat least 25 percent declared they had been told by
their own parents that it might
have been a good thing if they
had been s h o t . "
Michener describes the Kent
State campus on Monday, May 4 the day of t h e shootings - as " a
scene of uncertainty, fear and
planned r i o t . " He s a y s that
incredibly, thousands of students
and faculty members returning
to campus were not even aware
of the preceeding weekend's
riots, nor of the burning of the
university's ROTC building on
May 2.
In the wake of the riots,
university and National Guard
officials - the Guard had been
summoned to the campus and
arrives late Saturday - had prohibited all outdoor rallies, including
those
previously
scheduled.
Yet, s a y s Michener, d e spite distribution late Sunday
and early Monday of thousands
of leaflets and radio announcements of the ban, t h e word just
did not get amund lo many of
the returning .students. Included
in the ban wns a rally set for
noon on Monday to protest l_).S.
involvement
in Camliodia. jt
was this rally that became the
fatal confrontation.
At 11:48 a.m., Michener reports, somebody began ringing
the s c h o o l ' s victory bell. The
bell, mounted on a low brick
housing on Blanket Hill, continued ckingiiig for the next 15
minutes. Michener declares ti
played " a niajci role, first in
assembling the stiKknls and^
then n keeping tti-'in .iiiitated."
He s a y s that no one knows who
started ringing the bell. But he
quotes, Prof. Murvin Perry of the
Kent Journalism School, who
says that careful study was
made of photographs taken of
speakers who led the rally at
the bell. " N o one could identify
them a s students who had ever
been seen here before," Perry
declares.
At 11:59 a . m . , Michener
s a y s . Guard Brigadier General
Robert H. Canterbury gave his
troo p orders to move on the
crowd, first ordering a barrage
of tear g a s . Michener s a y s that
"careful c a l c u l a t i o n s " indicate
that at least 113 Guard officers
and men were at this time arrayed in a skirmish line along
tiie ruins of t h e burned-out ROTC
building. He s a y s that t he
crowd confronting the Guard
was between 900 and 1000, with
perhaps anpther 2000 - including
citizens
of Kent and high
school students - on the outskirts as s p e c t a t o r s .
As the Guard advanced,
Michener s a y s , students began
throwing rocks, chunks of wood
studded with n a i l s , and jagged
chunks of concrete. However, he
declares, most of t h e thrown
objects fell short of t h e advancing troops. Along with the miss i e s , " a steady barrage of verbal filth, curses and challenges
came dowjj upon t he Guard.
During t h e half hour that the
Guard was in action, this rain
of obscenity never let u p . "
The Guard pressed across
the
field.
"But,"
writes
Michener, " a p p a r e n t l y none of
the Guards realized that along
the far side of this field ran a
six-foot chain-link f e n c e , topped
by barbed wire. If a unit were to
be surrounded in this steel
pocket, there would be no
escape."
As the troops took up their
position against the fence, t h e r e
was a flurry of rocks. Seventeen
Guardsmen knelt on one knee
and assumed a firing position.
•At
this point, Mitfhener
notes, many reports have t o l d
" a constant shower of r o c k s "
and " m a d , screaming masses of
students encircling the Guard,
attacking them from all s i d e s . "
But those reports are evidently
untrue, according to photographic evidence.
The photograph was taken
by Beverly K. Knowles, a Kent
State student from Alliance,
Ohio, from an upper window of
Prentice H a l l . It shows the
Guardsmen kneeling in firing
p<.isition. " A t the far end of t h e
practice
field,"
Michener
writes, "there were no students
for .•' !.-ast 200 yards. Not one
student is visible oulside t h e
fence bordering the length of the
field. "In the area directly
between Prentice Hall and the
Field,
where the mob was
supposed to have been there
was empty s p a c e for nearly 40
yards, then the P r e n t i c e Hall
parking lot. On it could be
counted a total of 22 students,
five of them walking away from
the Guard with books under
Iheir a r m s . "
Other students support the
evicence given by the photograph. Journalism major Harold
Walker, who was taking prctuit -,
of ihe Guardsmen, s a y s : " A te'-.s
kuls, maybe ten, ran inside the
fence to throw rocks and junk
at t h e Guards, hut little of it
reached them."
Another
student,
Peter
Winnen, recalls what he saw from
the porch at Taylor Hall: " T h e
Guards were surrounded, but
only by the fence. They all
seemed
damned irritable
by
being .trapped against the fence.
Then f saw the Guards to into
a ti'uddle, and it was obvious
that a decision of some kind
had been r e a c h e d . "
Was there an order to fire?
To
this
cruical
question,
Michener s a y s there is no
answer. "Moreover, no Guardsman will now allow himself to
be interrogated on this point."
But, s a y s the author, " I t seems
likely that at this t i m e ^ o m e of
the troops agreed among therrn
s e l v e s that they had taken
enough."
A"''
^
"secret
report" cited by Micheni-i cor>tains this passage: " A s the
troops marched back up Blanket
Hill, someone among the Guards
said, 'If they charge u s , shoot
them.' "
Michener notes that dozens
of reports of snipers were
investigated, but that " n o shred
of evidence was found to support any of t h e m . "
"\A(hen the troops reached
the pagoda," Michener writes,
" s o m e Guardsmen on the right
flank suddenly stopped, wheeled,
and aimed their
rifles
toward the students who had
collected on the south side of
Taylor Hall. There was a single
shot, then a prolonged but thin
fusillade. The shooting lasted
13 s e c o n d s . "
Credit for the lack of even
greated bloodshed is given
by Michener to Kent faculty
members who " t a k i n g upon
themselves great risks, stood
between the students and the
riflemen and, over an extended
period of fear and hysteria
stubbornly argued,
pleaded,
reasoned and cajoled."
At this great c r i s i s , "
he s a y s , " n o administrators
were in evidence, no coaches,
no c o u n s e l o r s . " Only the faculty
teai hers.

The author also describes
the tragic efforts of parents to
find out what happeden to their
children. He quotes Mrs. Barbara Agte, a faculty member:
" N o one felt responsibility
for informing the parents of
the dead s t u d e n t s . " (Actually
they were not notified officially
until the day after the d e a t h s ,
when
Kent
State
President
Robert White sent telegrams
to the parents.)
Especially brutal was the
experience
of the
parents
ot Allison Krause. They tried
to phone Kent, but all lines were
out. Finally they reached university police who assured them
no one *•''•'* hurt. " B u t , " says
Mrs. Agte, " T h e y were still
concerned, and on the 6:30
television news they saw the
report that their daughter was
dead."

Guardsmen Not Under Attack
NEW YORK, March 25 - Author
James A. Michener says that
his investigation of last May's
shootings at Kent State University
indicates
that
National
Guardsmen were not under attack when they fired the shots
that killed four students.
The author s a y s that a c cording to a photograph taken
several
minutes
before
the
shooting began - at a time when
many reports claim Guardsmen
were under direct attack - at
least 200 yards separated the
Guards from the mass of students. Moreover, the photograph shows nearly 40 yards
of empty space plus a high
steel fence between the Guards
and the parking lot where the
students were shot.
Michener says further that
the Guard unit may unwittingly
have trapped itself by taking up
its position without realizing
that it would be surrounded by a
six-foot chain-link fence.
Michener's
conclusions
about the Kent State tragedy are
contained in the April issue of
Reader's
Digest,
which comes
out |y)arch 25. His report is the
second in a two-part condensation of a book commissioned by
the Digest, to be published a s a
Reader's Digest P r e s s Book in
cooperation with Random House
on April 30. In the April Digest's
12,500-word
section,
Michener t r a c e s moment by moment the events leading to the
shooting and the upheavals that
shook the nation afterward.
In the aftermath of the
shootings, Michener s a y s , an
unparalleled
outpouring
of
hatred was unleashed. I t took
the form of vilification of the
dead students in particular and
of young people in general. Of
the 400 students he interviewed
in preparing his story, Michener
s a y s , ''lat least 25 percent declared they had been told by
their own parents that it might
have been a good thing if they
had been s h o t . "
Michener describes the Kent
State campus on Monday, May 4 the day of t h e shootings - as " a
scene of uncertainty, fear and
planned r i o t . " He s a y s that
incredibly, thousands of students
and faculty members returning
to campus were not even aware
of the preceeding weekend's
riots, nor of the burning of the
university's ROTC building on
May 2.
In the wake of the riots,
university and National Guard
officials - the Guard had been
summoned to the campus and
arrives late Saturday - had prohibited all outdoor rallies, including
those
previously
scheduled.
Yet, s a y s Michener, d e spite distribution late Sunday
and early Monday of thousands
of leaflets and radio announcements of the ban, t h e word just
did not get amund lo many of
the returning .students. Included
in the ban wns a rally set for
noon on Monday to protest l_).S.
involvement
in Camliodia. jt
was this rally that became the
fatal confrontation.
At 11:48 a.m., Michener reports, somebody began ringing
the s c h o o l ' s victory bell. The
bell, mounted on a low brick
housing on Blanket Hill, continued ckingiiig for the next 15
minutes. Michener declares ti
played " a niajci role, first in
assembling the stiKknls and^
then n keeping tti-'in .iiiitated."
He s a y s that no one knows who
started ringing the bell. But he
quotes, Prof. Murvin Perry of the
Kent Journalism School, who
says that careful study was
made of photographs taken of
speakers who led the rally at
the bell. " N o one could identify
them a s students who had ever
been seen here before," Perry
declares.
At 11:59 a . m . , Michener
s a y s . Guard Brigadier General
Robert H. Canterbury gave his
troo p orders to move on the
crowd, first ordering a barrage
of tear g a s . Michener s a y s that
"careful c a l c u l a t i o n s " indicate
that at least 113 Guard officers
and men were at this time arrayed in a skirmish line along
tiie ruins of t h e burned-out ROTC
building. He s a y s that t he
crowd confronting the Guard
was between 900 and 1000, with
perhaps anpther 2000 - including
citizens
of Kent and high
school students - on the outskirts as s p e c t a t o r s .
As the Guard advanced,
Michener s a y s , students began
throwing rocks, chunks of wood
studded with n a i l s , and jagged
chunks of concrete. However, he
declares, most of t h e thrown
objects fell short of t h e advancing troops. Along with the miss i e s , " a steady barrage of verbal filth, curses and challenges
came dowjj upon t he Guard.
During t h e half hour that the
Guard was in action, this rain
of obscenity never let u p . "
The Guard pressed across
the
field.
"But,"
writes
Michener, " a p p a r e n t l y none of
the Guards realized that along
the far side of this field ran a
six-foot chain-link f e n c e , topped
by barbed wire. If a unit were to
be surrounded in this steel
pocket, there would be no
escape."
As the troops took up their
position against the fence, t h e r e
was a flurry of rocks. Seventeen
Guardsmen knelt on one knee
and assumed a firing position.
•At
this point, Mitfhener
notes, many reports have t o l d
" a constant shower of r o c k s "
and " m a d , screaming masses of
students encircling the Guard,
attacking them from all s i d e s . "
But those reports are evidently
untrue, according to photographic evidence.
The photograph was taken
by Beverly K. Knowles, a Kent
State student from Alliance,
Ohio, from an upper window of
Prentice H a l l . It shows the
Guardsmen kneeling in firing
p<.isition. " A t the far end of t h e
practice
field,"
Michener
writes, "there were no students
for .•' !.-ast 200 yards. Not one
student is visible oulside t h e
fence bordering the length of the
field. "In the area directly
between Prentice Hall and the
Field,
where the mob was
supposed to have been there
was empty s p a c e for nearly 40
yards, then the P r e n t i c e Hall
parking lot. On it could be
counted a total of 22 students,
five of them walking away from
the Guard with books under
Iheir a r m s . "
Other students support the
evicence given by the photograph. Journalism major Harold
Walker, who was taking prctuit -,
of ihe Guardsmen, s a y s : " A te'-.s
kuls, maybe ten, ran inside the
fence to throw rocks and junk
at t h e Guards, hut little of it
reached them."
Another
student,
Peter
Winnen, recalls what he saw from
the porch at Taylor Hall: " T h e
Guards were surrounded, but
only by the fence. They all
seemed
damned irritable
by
being .trapped against the fence.
Then f saw the Guards to into
a ti'uddle, and it was obvious
that a decision of some kind
had been r e a c h e d . "
Was there an order to fire?
To
this
cruical
question,
Michener s a y s there is no
answer. "Moreover, no Guardsman will now allow himself to
be interrogated on this point."
But, s a y s the author, " I t seems
likely that at this t i m e ^ o m e of
the troops agreed among therrn
s e l v e s that they had taken
enough."
A"''
^
"secret
report" cited by Micheni-i cor>tains this passage: " A s the
troops marched back up Blanket
Hill, someone among the Guards
said, 'If they charge u s , shoot
them.' "
Michener notes that dozens
of reports of snipers were
investigated, but that " n o shred
of evidence was found to support any of t h e m . "
"\A(hen the troops reached
the pagoda," Michener writes,
" s o m e Guardsmen on the right
flank suddenly stopped, wheeled,
and aimed their
rifles
toward the students who had
collected on the south side of
Taylor Hall. There was a single
shot, then a prolonged but thin
fusillade. The shooting lasted
13 s e c o n d s . "
Credit for the lack of even
greated bloodshed is given
by Michener to Kent faculty
members who " t a k i n g upon
themselves great risks, stood
between the students and the
riflemen and, over an extended
period of fear and hysteria
stubbornly argued,
pleaded,
reasoned and cajoled."
At this great c r i s i s , "
he s a y s , " n o administrators
were in evidence, no coaches,
no c o u n s e l o r s . " Only the faculty
teai hers.

The author also describes
the tragic efforts of parents to
find out what happeden to their
children. He quotes Mrs. Barbara Agte, a faculty member:
" N o one felt responsibility
for informing the parents of
the dead s t u d e n t s . " (Actually
they were not notified officially
until the day after the d e a t h s ,
when
Kent
State
President
Robert White sent telegrams
to the parents.)
Especially brutal was the
experience
of the
parents
ot Allison Krause. They tried
to phone Kent, but all lines were
out. Finally they reached university police who assured them
no one *•''•'* hurt. " B u t , " says
Mrs. Agte, " T h e y were still
concerned, and on the 6:30
television news they saw the
report that their daughter was
dead."
