"Alex's Oral History paper, entitled 'Instigators of Kent State Violence,' took a fresh approach to an issue which has been researched by students over and over again."
	"Alex argued that the violence on the Kent State campus was the culmination of a long series of events, including the hard line stance of Governor Rhodes on a variety of issues and his willingness to call out the National Guard to intervene in labor disputes."
	"He explained the growing tensions prior to the events of May 1970 very well and showed very clearly how those tensions contributed to the shootings on May 4."
