She talks about a friend who was arrested during the disturbances in Kent on Friday, May 1 and also mentions the curfew that was in effect in the city.

She also discusses the class of 1970's graduation ceremony and students who had difficulty getting hired after graduation because of the stigma of being from Kent State. |
