| Description: | Same as catalog #311497 In the Paris Latin Quarter there’s a sit down strike by university students. The day started out peacefully enough with a traditional graduation day parade, the procession bachelors. Then student hot heads flare up and the police tried to restore order with psychology and persuasion but things quickly get out of hand. New inscription laws, the calling up of more and more classes of reservist for the Algerian service are the sparks of contention igniting 3000 volatile undergraduates.
