This Day in History at UNH
Today is the 40th anniversary of the 3 week strike at UNH about the Vietnam War, but instead of me talking about it just read this article from TNH. I really think this shows how students and faculty can team up and make a point on campus. (The actual rally was on May 5th.)
At 6p.m. in Horton 4 there will be a screening of the half-hour documentary "Mayflowers" which uses archived footage found in a dumpster to depict UNH during the strike.
Not only is today the 40th anniversary of the UNH protest, but also the shootings at Kent State in Ohio, where students were protesting the invasion of Cambodia and four students were shot by National Guardsmen.
Stay classy, not UMassy.

This Day's Song of the Day in History

Today's song of the day also includes a quick history lesson. On May 4th 1970 the students at Kent State University in Ohio held a protest over the United States invasion of Cambodia during the Vietnam War. The protested resulted in the Ohio National Guard shooting into the crowd, killing four students. Nine other students were injured, some who weren't even protesting. The situation is clearly described in the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young song "Ohio."
Stay classy, not UMassy.
ps: I've already had a page hit from someone who googled "UNH girls porn."
