I was in high school when Kent State happened. When I went to Ohio University, I heard stories from the older students about the riots that happened when the O.U. Students found out about Kent State. They had to close the university early, it was so bad. (One of my friends, a graduate student when I knew her, had been an undergraduate then, and was upset to have missed the Siglympics, sponsored by some fraternity, and the chance to be chosen Miss Watermelon Bust.)

When I was at O.U., the college paper did a commemorative piece on Kent State and the students rioted again.
