SDS New Left Notes [138 issues]

Chicago: Students for a Democratic Society, 1970. One hundred and thirty-eight issues of the tabloid format newspaper, all with horizontal fold crease; a few with mailing labels (many have address printed instead); first few issues have a stain at right edge, vol. 5 no. 4 has marker doodles. Occasional tears, vol. 4 no. 20 has a paragraph handwritten on the cover, a few have spots of Wite-out, but otherwise generally in very good condition. Issues present are: Vol 1, Nos. 31, 32, 33, 35-42, [43], 44, 45, 47; Vol 2, Nos. 1-12, [13-15], 16-22, 24, 25, 26-40, [41-43], 44-46; Vol 3, Nos. 1-6, [7-8], 9-32, [33], 34-40; Vol 4, Nos. 2-5, [6], 7-26, 28, [29-32]; Vol 5, Nos. 1, 2, 4, 6-8, 19, 20, and an unnumbered late issue from the PL period. A few head-scratching issues with numbering: Vol 1, No. 43 is numbered 42, but has a handwritten correction. There seems to be no Vol 2, No. 14; dates between No. 13 and 15 are chronologically consistent; ditto for vol. 2 no. 42. There are two Vol 3, No. 7s, and the dates indicate that the second one is actually No. 8. However, what would chronologically be No. 9 is still labeled No. 8. There is no No. 9, and No. 10 is two weeks after the second No. 8. Vol 3, No. 33 is missing a volume and issue number, but the dates between 32 and 34 line up. Vol 4, No. 6 is numbered 5, but has been corrected with handwritten date and issue number. Lastly, there seem to be numbering errors across Vol 4, issues 29-32. There are two different Vol 4, No. 29s, and No. 32 is dated around two weeks after No. 31. Much coverage of collaboration between SDS & SNCC; civil rights, the draft, opposition to the Vietnam war, the rise of the Black Panthers, and much more, going up to the Days of Rage in Chicago and their aftermath for the splintering organization.
