Edited sentence: 1968 - A lengthy series of violent assaults against students commonly known as the so-called "student strike" erupted that developed into an important event in the  history of the U.1969 - In March, the "strike" officially comes to an end, with the administration retaining control of hiring and admissions, and the creation of the School (now College) of Ethnic Studies.Hayakawa famously pulled the wires out of the speakers on top of a van at a radical rally.The riots effectively ended in February, 1969 with a scandal that implicated the radical leadership in a scheme to cook the books of the Associated Students corporation and an abortive bombing of the Radio Television Film building in which a BSU member was maimed.The riots were led by the Black Students Union, the Third World Liberation Front and received secret financial support from student-owned accounts controled by the Associated Students.There was no "strike" per se as there was no strike vote.This became a major news event for months
