Description
A student protest fills the College Union (now known as the University Union), which was opened in 1971-72. This may have been a protest that occurred on May 9, 1972, when approximately 1,200 students turned out to hear anti-war speakers protest President Richard Nixon's mining of North Vietnam harbors. San Luis Obispo City Councilman Keith Gurnee was the featured speaker in the hour-long rally held in the College Union Plaza. See the Mustang Daily for May 10, 1972 for more information about the event.
