// The Strawberry Statement (1970)
Simon is a student at a college ... He is content to be on the rowing
team and remain as just a casual observer to the on-campus unrest,
demonstrations and protests. ... He soon meets Linda and becomes a
loyal member of the student revolution to meet girls. However, when he
truly discovers the corruption and the madness that his comrades are
protesting, his mindset also joins the movement. He becomes a
revolutionary leader and prepares his comrades for a very violent
climactic showdown with "the pigs" at a sit-in.

The Strawberry Statement
non-fiction book by James Simon Kunen, written when he was 19, which
chronicled his experiences at Columbia University from 1966–1968,
particularly the April 1968 protests and takeover of the office of the
dean of Columbia by student protesters. The title comes from a speech
made by Herbert Deane, a Columbia administrator, who deprecated student
opinions about university administrative decisions as having no more
importance than if the students had said they liked the taste of
strawberries.

gymnasium in neighboring Morningside Park; this was seen by the
protesters to be an act of aggression aimed at the black residents of
neighboring Harlem. A second issue was the Columbia administration's
failure to resign its institutional membership in the Pentagon's

Morningside Park > Controversy
Protesters believed the planned separate east and west entrances
amounted to an attempt to circumvent recent federal law that banned
racially segregated facilities.

Herbert Deane, the Vice-Dean of Graduate Faculties, further illustrated
the point. Deane did not believe that faculty or students should have
any influence on the school’s policy: "A university is definitely not a
democratic institution. When decisions begin to be made democratically
around here, I will not be here any longer." He further stated,
"whether students vote ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on an issue is like telling me
they like strawberries." At Columbia "an archaic system has gone hand
in hand with a series of insensitive administrations, and the fruits of
this hapless union have been both disastrous and demoralizing to the
University community." The administration’s authoritarian practices in
dealing with students, faculty, and the community were among the main
contributors to the upheaval that gripped the campus in late spring of
1968.
