the remaining treatments which are requirements of a scientific ap-proach. It is not easy to use a scientific treatment in this case, not only because it is a question of a real political occurrence but because of an absence of necessary documentation. While in many other countries student actions during 1968 were accompanied by the publishing of appropriate documentation and numerous studies, up to now we have no such documentation, a good deal of accompanying writings and discussions were published newspapers and periodicals which were not accessible because they were impounded. In that way an abnormal situation was created because events which should be treated in a sober and rational manner are even today, three years later, being treated in an emotional and abrupt manner.

It is understandable that because of the above mentioned reasons, not even this article of the June events can escape similar criticisms. Even we can not obtain the necessary documentation. This article is being written never-the-less so that we might be able on the basis of insights in certain documentations to give encouragement for further thorough investigation and to be able to, to a degree, answer two close-ly related questions, which I posed at the beginning of the article. I repeat that this in only a complement to that which I wrote in the above-mentioned article »0 karakteru sukoba u naśem dru3tvu«. So that this event might be throughly understood and explained, it is necessary to completely enclose it in the context of our total develop-ment. A good example in that regard is the article of Rudi Dutschke, who starting from Marx and Marcuse satisfactorily places the German student movemcnt in its social-economic framework.³

A short review of those events which served as preparations and introduction in the June events followed by an analysis of certain essential moments of the demonstration itself and so an insight into the direct and subsequent verbal and practical reactions about the events extends relevant materiał by which it is possible to judge the character and dynamism of this social conflict. Our writings should not be interpreted as a wish to take a particular stance, rather as an attempt to point out some circumstances and directions of investigat-ions, which will enable us to come to a morę surę result.

There is one circumstance which undoubtedly indicates that the political activism of our students is a component part of the generał political activism of youth world wide (i. e. protest against the agres-sive war that the American imperialists are wageing in Vietnam). Anti-war protests and demonstrations are the beginning phase of student moyements in a majority of countries during the past decade. he rirst conflicts between students and police took place regularly
