hearing that Irag was being pressed to join the Turco-
Pakistani pact the Arab Nationalists called upon the students
of the American University and other institutions in Beirut
to demonstrate against Iraq's participation in the military
pact. Late in March 1954 hundreds of students marched from
the campus of the American University to clash with the
police which was blocking the university gates.
Hassan Abu Isma'il, a militant member of the Progressive
Socialist Party was killed and twenty-nine other students
were hurt. / This incident had serious repercussions in
the Lebanese National Assembly and the mass media were the
government of Abdullah al-Yafi was strongly attacked for
opening fire on a peaceful demonstration.
The American University expelled five of the student
leaders who were held responsible for the whole affair.
This disciplinary measure was taken in July 1954, that is
during the summer vacation. However, when the University
opened its gates for the Fall Semester, disturbances errupted
once again by the ANM activists on campus, and this time the
university authorities took the unprecedented measure of
expelling seventeen students at one stroke.°®
