Dulwich College is one of the oldest and most respected academic institutions in the country. It has spent thousands on science equipment, a anguage lab, the library, it is surrounded by vast playing fields. It continues to prepare the ipper crust for the upper crust role they will be playing in society.
At the same time, Wilson's Government have of those leaving school are virtually illiterate. In slum areas, 79% of secondary modern schools are seriously inadequate. The attack on liberal studies in CFE's is spreading fast. Only 8% of students are in comprehensive schools. So much for their grandiose schemes of a classless society with classless education.
To protest against the continued existence of places like Dulwich and to demand fully orpith Action Union organised a march to the education, South self-styled Open Day on June 21 60 to 70 comrades - school students, supporters - and the usual collection marched to the college, chanting miseducation out, working class waving the red flag and singing ale. Not surprisingly hellesad were had sinformed: it wasn't OPEN After a scuffle inside ahar was carted đon the communication developed between 40 to 50 Dulwich students and the SAU militants.

Did they ever think about the millions in this country who didn't lead their kind of life? (According to one tudent there, only 15% of the boys come tron a working-class ackground.) There WaS hostility but little optimism either. "Well, if a teacher hits you, of course you don't hit back" Neither would a 12-year old get his own back on a 13-year old. Authority simply through age is installed they equate age-authority-intelligence One very sympathetic boy just couldn't understand why several years older than himself - - had approached him as an equal. He was opposed to uniform. he was dissatisfied with exams and the values the college bureaucracy; but as an individual he saw he was powerless. The Isolation of the militants inside the college has enabled the authorities to ban a subversive magazine that was started last year; similarly SAU members there have been "disciplined" Because of this they see the need for a very cohesive organisation inside the college to combat repression from above.
Obviously other pupils were less dissident. But they welcomed the leaflets on the college nd the SAU newsletters.
