MC Students Protest After President Nixon ' s speech in the spring stating his position on the mining of the Haiphong Harbor, students began relatively peaceful protests on campus. The student center remained open during the night for students to voice their opinions after Nixon declared his stand. During the following days a vote was taken of the student body and it was determined that Monmouth College would go on record in Washington as On Strike. However, classes continued uninterrupted. In a rally held in the gymnasium, various guests, faculty members and students gave their pros and cons on Nixon ' s decision to an audience of MC students. In the photo above, students are shown following a march through the town square and campus. Below, students are pictured outside the student center as they protest in a quiet, but striking manner. 26
