The University of Southern Mississippi TELLING THEIR OWN STORY: HOW STUDENT NEWSPAPERS REPORTED CAMPUS UNREST, 1962-1970 by Kaylene Dial Armstrong Abstract of a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of The University of Southern Mississippi in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2013 ABSTRACT TELLING THEIR OWN STORY: HOW STUDENT NEWSPAPERS REPORTED CAMPUS UNREST, 1962-1970 by Kaylene Dial Armstrong August 2013 The work of student journalists often appears as a source in the footnotes when researchers tell the story of perhaps the most significant period in the history of higher education in the United States – the student protest era throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. Yet researchers and historians have ignored the student press itself during this same time period. This dissertation considers how the student reporters and editors did their job during major protests that occurred between 1962 and 1970, and tells not only the story of reporting protest but the individual stories of the student journalists. The key protests considered are integration in 1962 at Ole Miss, the Free Speech Movement beginning in 1964 at Berkeley, building occupations of 1968 at Howard and Columbia universities, and the 1970 shootings of students at Kent State and Jackson State that touched off violence at more than 500 campuses nationwide. These protests are not meant to be inclusive of all the protests that occurred in this timeframe, but rather represent the major underlying issues for which students were demanding change throughout the period. The three key issues included race and civil rights, student rights and administration control, and the Vietnam War and the university’s role in supporting it. The student newspapers reporting these protests also confronted several of the challenges student journalists often face: maintaining freedom of the press, understanding ii the role of the student newspaper, defining personal positions as journalists, and developing journalistic skills. The research found student journalists considered themselves as professionals who worked hard to get at the deeper issues behind the protests. Though the student newspaper staff might support the cause of the protest, none of the staffs in this study condoned violent behavior that injured people or caused property damage. Many went on to be professional journalists who credited their student newspaper experience as being a major training ground for their careers. iii COPYRIGHT BY KAYLENE DIAL ARMSTRONG 2013 4 The University of Southern Mississippi TELLING THEIR OWN STORY: HOW STUDENT NEWSPAPERS REPORTED CAMPUS UNREST, 1962-1970 by Kaylene Dial Armstrong A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of The University of Southern Mississippi in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Approved: Dr. David Davies Director Dr. Christopher Campbell Dr. Fei Xue Dr. Kim LeDuff Dr. Cheryl Jenkins Dr. Susan A. Siltanen Dean of the Graduate School August 2013 5 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author would like to thank dissertation director, Dr. David Davies, and the other committee members, Dr. Kim LeDuff, Dr. Christopher Campbell, Dr. Cheryl Jenkins, and especially Dr. Fei Xue, who stepped in just days before the dissertation defense, following the death of committee member Dr. Gene Wiggins. A special posthumous acknowledgement goes to Dr. Wiggins, who played a major role in bringing the author to study at the University of Southern Mississippi. A special thank you goes to Debra Fortenberry for her patient help in editing and her long-suffering friendship and general support. Several individuals must be recognized for special help in providing research materials: Allison Hantschel, who wrote It Doesn’t End with Us and generously shared a 47-page bibliography she obtained from researcher Owen Johnson; Ashley L. Till, archivist at South Carolina State University, who wrestled with a scanner to provide PDF copies of The Collegian; Ainsley Powell, library specialist at the University of Mississippi archives, who copied stories from bound volumes that were unreadable on microfilm; and Joellen Elbashir, curator of manuscripts at Howard University, who was able to bend some rules in order to provide photocopies of The Hilltop. No words can adequately thank the most important supporter through this entire process: Dr. Robert J. Armstrong, D.C.

After all, the University Park campus had plenty of its own troubles to fill almost the entire front page that day. The same action that had students at Kent State protesting the previous day – President Nixon’s announcement of expanding the war in Southeast Asia by sending troops into Cambodia – had sparked reactions at Penn State as well. A student committee had called for a two-day strike, according to the lead story on page one, while another Collegian story explained that a panel was reviewing the cases of 40 students charged with disrupting the campus in previous weeks. In all, six of the eight stories on the broadsheet’s front page were centered on campus unrest. It was the same story being told in campus newspapers across the country that day and the days that followed. Many of the campuses, such as Ohio State University, had already been embroiled in protest before the Kent State shootings occurred. For several days The Ohio State Lantern had been plastered with stories of student strikes and protests. National

  • Student Communes, Political Counterculture, and the Columbia University Protest of 1968
    THE POLITICS OF SPACE: STUDENT COMMUNES, POLITICAL COUNTERCULTURE, AND THE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PROTEST OF 1968 Blake Slonecker A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Peter Filene Reader: Jacquelyn Dowd Hall Reader: Jerma Jackson © 2006 Blake Slonecker ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT BLAKE SLONECKER: The Politics of Space: Student Communes, Political Counterculture, and the Columbia University Protest of 1968 (Under the direction of Peter Filene) This thesis examines the Columbia University protest of April 1968 through the lens of space. It concludes that the student communes established in occupied campus buildings were free spaces that facilitated the protestors’ reconciliation of political and social difference, and introduced Columbia students to the practical possibilities of democratic participation and student autonomy. This thesis begins by analyzing the roots of the disparate organizations and issues involved in the protest, including SDS, SAS, and the Columbia School of Architecture. Next it argues that the practice of participatory democracy and maintenance of student autonomy within the political counterculture of the communes awakened new political sensibilities among Columbia students. Finally, this thesis illustrates the simultaneous growth and factionalization of the protest community following the police raid on the communes and argues that these developments support the overall claim that the free space of the communes was of fundamental importance to the protest. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Peter Filene planted the seed of an idea that eventually turned into this thesis during the sort of meeting that has come to define his role as my advisor—I came to him with vast and vague ideas that he helped sharpen into a manageable project.

    Specters of '68: Protest, Policing, and Urban Space by Hans Nicholas Sagan A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Galen Cranz, Chair Professer C. Greig Crysler Professor Richard Walker Summer 2015 Sagan Copyright page Sagan Abstract Specters of '68: Protest, Policing, and Urban Space by Hans Nicholas Sagan Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Berkeley Professor Galen Cranz, Chair Political protest is an increasingly frequent occurrence in urban public space. During times of protest, the use of urban space transforms according to special regulatory circumstances and dictates. The reorganization of economic relationships under neoliberalism carries with it changes in the regulation of urban space. Environmental design is part of the toolkit of protest control. Existing literature on the interrelation of protest, policing, and urban space can be broken down into four general categories: radical politics, criminological, technocratic, and technical- professional. Each of these bodies of literature problematizes core ideas of crowds, space, and protest differently. This leads to entirely different philosophical and methodological approaches to protests from different parties and agencies. This paper approaches protest, policing, and urban space using a critical-theoretical methodology coupled with person-environment relations methods. This paper examines political protest at American Presidential National Conventions. Using genealogical-historical analysis and discourse analysis, this paper examines two historical protest event-sites to develop baselines for comparison: Chicago 1968 and Dallas 1984. Two contemporary protest event-sites are examined using direct observation and discourse analysis: Denver 2008 and St.

  • University Microfilms International300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
