Lafayette 1970 Yearbook Editorial


 
Historical note:  The editorial states that the UK ROTC Armory was burned during a student protest.  Actually, it was the old Air Force ROTC building, sited next to Jewell and Blazer Halls, two girl's dorms, that burned the night of May 5, 1970.  The previous year, Air Force ROTC moved to Buell Armory, across from the Student Center, after which the old building was used for dance classes.  Protest activity on the night of the fire was concentrated at the Armory, not around the building that burned.
