April Third Movement

On October 9, 1969, Pitzer issued a statement of opposition to the war, while insisting that protests must be carried out in a way “that the University’s obligations are fully met.” This statement by the SDS Committee on War and Imperialism addresses Pitzer’s statement and describes it as “the quintessence of liberal ideology.”

On October 15, “as we protest by staying out of class,” Stanford SDS will offer two tours.
