Unions BallaratStudent Revolt! La Trobe University 1967-73, York, Barry, 1989
A history of three La Trobe University student union activists in the early 1970s - Brian Pola, Barry York and Fergus Robinson - who disobeyed the University's order to stay off campus. They were subsequently imprisoned at Pentridge Prison for several months although no criminal charges were made known. The account of on-campus student politics is fascinating and complex in comparison to contemporary student unionism. At the time of their release and to date, the University has not apologised to the "La Trobe Three" for what happened. The book is written by Barry York who was one of the "La Trobe Three"; it was published in the year of La Trobe University's 25th anniversary. Relevant to student unionism in the 1970s and contemporary to Australia's participation in the Vietnam War. Issues relating to university culture, social justice and activism.Paperback; 184 pages. Front cover: black and white; title and author's name; black and white photo of student activists. Back cover: black and white; black and white photo of student activists and police at La Trobe University.btlc, ballarat trades hall, ballarat trades and labour council, pola, brian, york, barry, robinson, fergus, unions - student, universities, prisons - pentridge, la trobe university, la trobe university - student representative council, student activism, social justice, maoism, vietnam war, vice chancellors - david myers, premiers - bolte
