Description:
Clippings from the following newspapers are in the "Miscellaneous" envelope: The Christian Advocate, Occidental, Eagle Rock
Sentinel, Eagle Rock Advertiser, Oakland Tribune, Inyo Independent, The Pasadena Post, The San Francisco News, Sacramento
Bee, Vacaville Reporter, Oberlin News-Tribune, and San Diego Union. 27 items are in this envelope. The dates of clippings
range from 1942 to 1947, with the bulk date being 1944 and 1945. The clippings are fragile, and many items are torn where
the pages are folded. Of note to the Occidental community is a May 17, 1944 article in Occidental titled "SPACtivity" by
Urb Whitaker. SPAC (Student Political Action Committee), according to this short article, has taken on the merchants in the
vicinity of York Boulevard and 42nd Avenue near campus. SPAC urges students to boycott merchants who have displayed the "We
don't want the Japs back here, EVER" sign on their storefront windows.
