Student protest.

In the summer of 2006, 14 college anti-sweatshop activists from United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS) went to 12 countries to gather evidence to convince universities to writing sweeping demands into the multimillion-dollar contracts they sign for college-logo apparel (http://www. inthesetimes.com/site/main/article/

2731).

Twenty years ago, a student group known as "The Fordham 9" conducted a successful blockade of a CIA recruiter at Forclham University's Bronx campus that stopped CIA recruitment for a year. To read how this historic action might relate to current antirecruitment actions on today's campuses, see "Challenging CIA and Military Recruiters on Campus: Lessons from the Fordham 9" (counterpunch.org, May 6, 2006).

On April 23, 2006, the first regional conference was held by the new Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) at Brown University. The reborn SDS has established 77 chapters nationwide. For information, contact Bert Garskof at 203-393-3213, 203-232-8455 (cell) or hgarskof@ adelphia.net.
