Student boycott at College Shop draws strong support
Campus action against the College Shop shows student dissatisfaction though manager Ralph Mayo offered evasive replies. Organizers led by Gaston Williams and joined by Nancy Benfield and Ed Godsey delivered 11 improvement demands including fair pricing, better goods, used book ordering, paperback texts, broader selection, and longer hours. Mayo cited administrative limits and space constraints, with plans for a written response within a week as picketers stood outside and the store stayed largely empty.
