Military Recruiters: The More Things Change, the More They Remain the Same |

Military Recruiters: The More Things Change, the More They Remain the Same
Wednesday, April 12 2006 Anti-War Activism
SANTA CRUZ, CA – It’s been over a year and a half since the military has been able to effectively recruit on this UC campus as all their attempts have been met by mass student actions. Today, in spite of the pouring rain and administrative attempts to stifle students’ free speech, Students Against War (SAW) organized over 150 students to march from the center of campus to the job fair, where they nonviolently prevented access to military recruiters through sit-ins and other measures. After about an hour and a half of negotiations and students’ refusal to back down, military recruiters left the job fair.
THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME
Ah, I remember way back when when at the University of Kansas we were busy with military recruiters. One action, I recall, was of the yippie type guerilla theater kind. It was fun, made a statement, messed up any attempt at recruiting, and certainly confused the recruters. That was the late 60s. An article on FBI surveillance I ran across recently references the action. It states:
"In a memo from Nov. 1, 1968, the FBI instructed its Kansas City field office "to conduct a discreet investigation concerning the People's Voice..." What resulted were more than 200 pages of surveillance on the organization and an affiliated group, Students for a Democratic Society. Another government memo called for cases to be opened on listed individuals — whose names are blacked out — who attended SDS meetings.
Several members of People's Voice and SDS also were involved with the Tautological Society, which has an FBI file of its own. There, Berkowitz (ed. note: that would be my friend Bill, whose writings I sometimes post here) is referenced in a University Daily Kansan story ("Union Scene of Battle," 2/10/69) on the Society's protest of U.S. Marine recruitment at the Kansas Union.
The story, clipped and mounted to an FBI form, describes Berkowitz as conducting "revolutionary theater":
"Berkowitz, campus hippie-in-residence, spieled, 'Be a leader of men! Be a lady Marine.' Berkowitz hawked Marine newsletters, claiming they were the latest from the underground press."
By the way I talked to Bill about that "campus hippie-in-residence" credo lately. He got a good laugh.
Those were the days!
The action described below took place yesterday.
The following is a release from Students Against War.

Students Kick Military Recruiters Off UC Santa Cruz
Military Prevented from Recruiting for Third Straight Job Fair
SANTA CRUZ, CA – It’s been over a year and a half since the military has been able to effectively recruit on this UC campus as all their attempts have been met by mass student actions. Today, in spite of the pouring rain and administrative attempts to stifle students’ free speech, Students Against War (SAW) organized over 150 students to march from the center of campus to the job fair, where they nonviolently prevented access to military recruiters through sit-ins and other measures. After about an hour and a half of negotiations and students’ refusal to back down, military recruiters left the job fair.
The students’ first victory appeared early in the day, as administrators separated military recruiters from other employers, allowing the protesters to block access to the military, while the remainder of the job fair continued. This separation was the only one of SAW’s proposals for protecting free speech to be adopted by administrators, who still banned media from the event.
The successful protest was also significant in light of the fact that University administrators hired, at great cost to the school, a number of police from other UC campuses. These police, local officers, and a top local official, physically assaulted multiple students without provocation and repeatedly refused to provide identification when requested. Students were pushed, punched, choked, and a student’s hand was slammed in a door. One student, acting as a legal observer, was pushed and arrested for documenting police surveillance, but was released after an immediate display of student support. The student may face charges in the future, which SAW intends to vehemently resist. In the face of administrative and police repression the students remained remarkably peaceful.
The action stressed the importance of connecting the complexities of the “War on Terror,” continued military occupations, and government neglect of communities at home. Students also emphasized solidarity with labor struggles, immigrants’ rights, the fight against the privatization of education, and numerous other movements. In order to directly highlight the sexism inherent in the military, a group of female students directly confronted the recruiters. This was a result of consistent student-initiated negotiations with administrators. The action proved to be a key moment, as military recruiters left quickly after the women entered.
In response to the victory, SAW member Sam Aranke responded, “Our demonstration today is a clear example of how tangible success can be when we take strategic actions against the war at a local level. It’s not just about the action today, it’s about creating sustained movements that directly resist the militarization of our communities.”

So these peace activists kooks have threatened violence against Malkin? Peace activists = Violence? Does anyone else see the contradiction here? Lord, do something else with your lives besides cry and whine and hold your signs and think people outside of your little world actually care for what you say.
And were posting because as you leftist communist free speech (unless we don't agree with it) touters would say, "We have a right to voice our opinion, too!"
Get over it.....

"Muslims want you and your family to convert to their religion, or they will kill you"
I am a Muslim and I find the tone of these right-wingers absolutely offensive.

My comments followed the editorial policy and were much less inflammatory than what was left posted. Seems to me I didn't agree with you, so I got deleted. How's that for free speech!

Posts which are obviously incorrect or misleading. This includes attempts to spread disinformation or to impersonate another individual. It is an abuse of the publish feature to deliberately misinform others.

"Posts which are obviously incorrect or misleading." How about "George Bush is Insane", the title of one of the posts above? Has he been diagnosed? Hypocrites.
Nothing about my post was incorrect, except that it didn't agree with your views.
Huh. I guess there's fascists on the Left and the Right.
