THere Were Two Cafeteria Take-Overs In June 1969

---

I came across a couple of newspaper articles about hot-topic events, which occurred while I was at M&A. I decided to share them because others must have a lot more information about these situations than what's in the article. I'm looking forward to the opinions and photographs concerning these exciting and nerve-wrecking happenings.
​

In general, during the early part of June 1969, there were two separate student take-overs of the basement cafeteria. They occurred because of the suspension of the President of the Student General Organization, Donald Reeves.

​The first sit-in took place on Tuesday, 6/3/69 and the second was on Friday, 6/6/69.
