Alice vol. 3 (duplicate copies), 1968

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 9

Scope and Content

From the Collection:

This collection contains the papers of Bryan Ackler, a graduate of Virginia Tech (B.A., theatre arts, 1974) and a co-founder of Alice, an underground newspaper published in Blacksburg, Virginia, from 1968 to 1970. The collection consists largely of print copies of Alice. The collection also includes a 1970 audio recording (bearing the title "Spectrum #1") of a radio program interview with two Virginia Tech students who had participated in the occupation of Williams Hall during campus protests. (The original audiotape is accompanied by a digital copy on disc.) The recording was produced in response to a university program concerning campus unrest and addresses the underpinnings of campus unrest and demonstrations on the Virginia Tech campus. Among the remaining materials is a copy of the first issue of FREE!: Blacksburg Underground Newspaper (though undated, the contents suggest an early 1970 publication). Also included are a copy of "Alice: the Study of a Free Press," a 1969 paper written by Ackler; a list of 107 Virginia Tech students (possibly those arrested during the 1970 occupation of Williams Hall); a 1968 flyer promoting a protest at National Business College, Roanoke; and a folded newsprint poster bearing the title "Baltimore Bulletin: the War is Over" / "Bobby Seale's Parable."
