UF Students Jeer Protest Against Veterans Visit
A Gainesville crowd jeered about 35 demonstrators marching past fraternity houses near the University of Florida as four Fort Bragg officers hosted on campus for “Operation Appreciation” were feted by locals. The four lieutenants toured Silver Springs and attended banquets while campus figures called for free speech and opposition to Vietnam involvement. The officers were not in the city when the protest began and planned future campus events.
