Deb De Haan, JMC '73Excerpted from a posting to the JMC forum at Yahoo Groups |

My memories of extracurricular JMC include body painting Pete Sorg,the student strike, People's Park, the "beach" between Snyder and Phillips Halls, the quadruple lines of state troopers lining Grand River for miles after Kent State, closing down Grand River for protests, tear gas outside the ROTC building, Pioneer Bob Boyer and his mandolin, Jackie Martling and Pillowcayse and their rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, Wickett the god of the dorm; John Sase, helping to edit and publish The Sheet in the basement of Snyder Hall and worrying that we'd be caught, peace rallies at Beaumont Tower, going coed by precinct, the doors coming down, and cramming three of us into room 369 Phillips (it's the room that backs into the phone booth and so, was smallest on the floor). I remember I & E courses on Heroes and Revolution. (I loved The Shop on Main Street but could've done without all the Fellini movies.) Science was "The Theory of Scientific Revolution." M. Belgique and M. Brown taught French. I took a great class on the impact of poverty on intellect (can't quite remember the name of that) and some fabulous sociology classes. It was a defining time culturally, socially, and personally -- and I am grateful for the opportunity to have lived it in that place.
