They were protesting against cuts in the 1954 education programme.
Chanting "Resign Marie" the students crowded in a narrow street near the headquarters of the French National Students Union after holding up trafe in the Latin Quarter for over an hour. More than 1,000 police- men and security guards armed with rifles went to the scone.
