Columbia University Protests of 1968 (Part 4)

1969 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1583227717?ie=UTF8&tag=doc06-20&link... Watch the full film: http://thefilmarchived.blogspot.com/2010/08/columbia-university-protests-of-1...

The protests achieved two of their stated goals. Columbia disaffiliated from the IDA and scrapped the plans for the controversial gym, building a subterranean physical fitness center under the north end of campus instead. The gym's plans were eventually used by Princeton University for the expansion of its athletic facilities.

At least 30 Columbia students were suspended by the administration as a result of the protests.

The protests in books and films: * Confrontation On Campus - The Columbia Pattern for the New Protest - by Joanne Grant. Back cover: "... a definitive study of the New Protest--how it happens, why it happens, why it is happening again and again." * The Strawberry Statement - by James Simon Kunen. This book details the particulars of the protest. * The Strawberry Statement - film version of the above with less analysis. * Up Against The Ivy Wall - by Jerry Avorn. Avorn was an editor of the Columbia Daily Spectator and covered far more of the events than did The Strawberry Statement, though it got a few names wrong. * Columbia Revolt 1968 documentary about the incident made by a collective of independent filmmakers. * The Fall 1969 documentary by Peter Whitehead about violence, revolution and the turbulence within late-60s America. * Across the Universe (film) - by Julie Taymor. * A Time to Stir by Paul Cronin screened as work-in-progress at the 2008 Toronto Film Festival

1:41 that's my grandpa. the one looking at the camera

[fntime]

Today,the protestors are the people who screwed up the world

Their pedantic know it all attitude.Maybe their parents thought

they were 'special', but they were posers.They passed through

the disco era, settled down became yuppies, made a fetish

out of child rearing, and now they're lead by people like G Bush,

H Clinton, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, David Letterman, etc etc

Smug pompous asses. "Somebody get a rope!"
