University of Waterloo, Hagey Office Sit-in

Images of students at the University of Waterloo staging the first sit-in ever on campus at the bookstore to protest the price of books, which the students found unfairly high. Students arrived in the bookstore around 12:15pm and sat in the aisles. Some students were reported to sing the following lyrics: "We are, we are, we are, we are, we are, the protesters. We can, we can, we can, we can, give voice to many jeers. Sit in, sit in, sit in, sit in, sit in till six o'clock. Till down, till down, till down, till down, till down, the prices are knocked." At some point during the event, the students wanted to meet directly with Dr. J.G. Hagey, president of the university, but Dr. Hagey refused to come down and see the protesters. Subsequently, more than 200 students went to see Dr. Hagey in his office. Once inside, the students conveyed their demands to Dr. Hagey for about an hour. However, Dr. Hagey refused to concede on the issues raised.
