College Students Press New Jersey for More Higher Ed Funds
About 2000 students marched from a park to the State Capitol in Trenton to urge increased state funding for public colleges. Gov.

Russell Pulin of Trenton State College helped organize the event, framing it as a plea to prevent “starvation” of higher education by state limits.
