Spotted here and there were improvised tables on sawhorses, manned by enthusiastic undergraduates and burdened with pamphlets and revolutionary literature. Students, many with the red strike symbol of a clenched fist silk-screened on their shirts, stood around in groups, arguing the issues, advancing theories as to the outcome. The trampled turf of the yard was littered with many of the 750,000 broadsides mimeographed by S.D.S.

The silk-screen method is a medium particularly well suited to alternating blacks and whites so the background and foreground read over each other in a reverse transparency. The technique makes the "Too Much of Nothing" poster at first hard to read, but ultimately a wonderful design...
