<< Michigan State College >>
Uh, that's Michigan State University, which at the time I attended as an undergrad was the third largest in the US. It was also easier to be Red there, at least at that time (late 70s-early 80s), than at the University of Michigan, an elite institution with more ideological controls. MSU's faculty had a fairly good batch of 60s-era troublemakers who could never pass the gatekeepers at U-M/Harvard/Stanford, I would guess. A labor-left economist, one of the most popular profs, had a regular column in the campus paper, and there was no South African divestment campaign because one of its presidents, Clifton Wharton, had already divested the university of its South African holdings. Lots of frat jerks, though. I dunno, the whole place may have gone over to the Dark Side in the meantime. I hope the Repugs don't make a bonfire out of the library's Radical History collection...
