There were about 40 or so America haters, communist, capitalist haters, and the like there.

I'm not surprised at the low turnout. I was at MSU back during the late 60's and I have little recollection of anti-war activity back then. Maybe a few liberal arts students and their professors who took over a building for a talk-in or something but they were a fringe bunch and everyone knew it. Heck, shoulder length hair on men drew derision and laughter up until about 68.

On the other hand, a good panty raid like the one at Brody back in '67 or a riot like after the NCAA finals a few years ago, and you have thousands of participants. MSU still is much more of a party school than a Berkeley/Columbia peacenik school.

Yep...I recall my Psych prof there in '77 referring to MSU as "quality education for the masses".
Way to go, Dan. Gotta keep the young 'skulls fulla mush' in line!
