Biographical / Historical
Box 1 Folder 1 includes a background document written by Tony Kaliss on the materials in this record group and an autobiographical profile. In summary, the material was gathered by Kaliss during his time as an undergraduate and graduate at the University of Maine where he was "an active participant in some of the student protest activities that took place at UMO, activities similar to those taking place across the country on college campuses". The materials are more of a snap shot of student protest activities not a comprehensive record. There is material on protests regarding the Vietnam War, tuition, dormitory rules, labor disputes, and miscellaneous student political activities.
