On This Day and Working Class History the twenty ninth of December film. On the twenty ninth of December nineteen sixty eight, the University of Tokyo was forced to cancel its nineteen sixty nine entrance exams because it had been paralyzed by a student strike and a wave of occupations which have been ongoing since October. Striking students battled anti strike Communist Party students as well as riot police in an ongoing conflict over unpaid internships and faculty collaboration with
the police.
