One black and white photograph dated May 1970 taken by Kevin Bleicher. Pictured is a check point line on Ohio State University campus: two officers on duty where one is talking to a passenger. Behind them a sign that reads, "Ohio State University Campus Closed. Admittance Only Upon Identification & Official Permit."

Protests at Ohio State University began with three groups demonstrating; a black student protest group, a women's equality advocacy group, and anti-Vietnam war group.
