Student Demonstration
Student movements, Demonstrations, Selinsgrove Hall, Benjamin Apple Theater, Susquehanna University.
Led by student Dave Hesel, 361 students participated in a silent march on Selinsgrove Hall. Nearly all wore signs expressing the sentiment " I am concerned." The group met behind the Benjamin Apple Theater and peacefully made its way to Selinsgrove Hall. Once there, the students sang one verse and the chorus of the Alma Mater and walked back to Bogar Hall in an orderly manner. A letter sent to Dr. Weber prior to the march explained that the protest was meant to address only general attitudes and not specific problems at that time.
