Though it's not uncom- mon to see students rally- ing on the Diag or in front of the Fleming Adminis- tration Building, it's rare to see large-scale protests during speeches given by the University's president. But in 1968, that is pre- cisely what happened. During his State of the University address, then-President Robben Fleming was interrupted by student protestors as he spoke to 800 invited faculty members and their families as well as 150 uninvited students, according to an Oct. 1, 1968 article in The Michi- gan Daily. . The protestors, some of whom were part of "The Jesse James Gang", a fac- tion of Students for a Dem- ocratic Society, came in and out of Rackham Hall in small groups. About five minutes before the speech ended, the group entered the hall together, accord- ing to the article. The students inter- rupted Fleming, calling for more research and action on the conflict occurring in Thailand at the time. During his speech, Fleming called for more student participation across campus as well as a stop to the "violence, coer- cion and threats," accord- ing to the article. He also spoke about funding challenges facing the University as a result in an increase in the num- ber of students on campus. According to the article, Fleming said the Universi- ty was competing for state funding at the time. "This year, for the first time in the history of the University we were not able to admit all the Michi- gan students who meet our standards of admission," Fleming said during the speech. He added that he remained committed to finding a solution to the funding problem. "Presidents like myself come and go, but the Uni- versity must remain," Fleming said during the speech. - CHELSEA LANGE CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom c News Tips Corrections Letters to the Editor Photography Department Arts Section Editorial Page Sports Section Display Sales Classified Sales Online Sales Finance EDITORIAL STAFF ofice o rs: San.-rhars.
