Interview with Joan Frances Crowley, 1998
Transcription: "To make a long story short, Mundelein went on strike, we had no school. It was a beautiful sunny spring. Every night kids would stand at the corner of Sheridan at the curve holding up a big anti-Vietnam War banner that said, 'Honk twice if you're against the war.'"

Interview with Jean Dolores Schmidt, 1998
Transcription: "As we got into the late ‘60s and the early ‘70s, students became restless. In ’69 when we had the strike and all that kind of thing, I never saw such networking as when Kent State occurred, that happened in the college and university campuses. It was just like overnight that this all happened. I happened to be acting dean that year. It was hard. It was hard for the students, it was hard for everybody. We had long meetings, students and faculty, where we filled Galvin Hall. People would say, ‘Well, we should strike until the end of the war.’ We wouldn’t even be here if we did that. So that didn’t happen. But we gave the faculty and students the opportunity to do what they wished. And that was a pretty big order…The faculty met with their students and came to some kind of a consensus on whether they would come to regular classes, whether they would do their readings or whatever on their own. They had to sign a contract to do this. So everybody was doing what she wanted."
