Background

Scope and Content:

Papers, circa 1968-1970, of student activist Paul Krehbiel, concerning

his involvement in and exposure to the Student unrest of the late 1960s-1970 at

the University at Buffalo. The papers are divided into series chronicling local

issues (e.g., the Buffalo 9, University and regional rallies and issues) and

publications; non-local information (e.g., SDS publications, miscellaneous

clippings); and one file on Krehbiel's post-UB activities. Significantly

represented topics include material on general strikes; marches on hunger and

other community involvement; equal rights; project Themis; Vietnam; SDS and its

division into the Weathermen, et al.; national student unrest; Buffalo YAWF

(including copies of

The Activist magazine); Buffalo general

publications such as

New Age and the

Buffalo Insighter; University-related

activities and publications (Midnight Oil), many centering on the UB

Norton Student Union, which became a focus for unrest and student meetings.
