Can you elaborate on the January 30, 1969 incident at the University of Chicago? Did he partake in the Columbia University sit-in with Mark Rudd?Elizabethgaye22 (talk) 23:27, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I expanded on the U of C takeover. From what I have read, Machtinger was involved in the 1968 Columbia University sit-in. However, I have not been able to locate a reliable source to confirm this as of yet.--Pearlscholar (talk) 20:42, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Machtinger's educational history[edit]

The suggestion of the entry (as written) is that HM earned a four-year degree at Seattle Central Community College. Is that accurate? Was that possible to do at SCCC at that time? If not, where did HM receive his bachelor's degree? --Historytrain (talk) 05:54, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As I read back through the entry, I experience further confusion about HM's educational history. I see reference early in the entry to bachelor's degrees in English and Sociology from Columbia University. Late in the entry, though, there is reference to degrees in computer science and business technology from Seattle Central Community College. Is this information accurate? Are there four undergraduate majors, four four-year degrees, or something else? --Historytrain (talk) 05:58, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Machtingers educational history[edit]

I found a second source for that information. It seems it was one A.A.S degree, rather than two in computer science and business technology. I made changes to reflect this.

General Stuff[edit]

I edited a couple of things. I made links to Columbia University and University of Chicago, plus I changed one word: amongst to among. The last sentence in one of your paragraphs. Also, I was wondering about your mention of HM's issues with the PL. You mention his problem with their concerns about class and not race. Can you elaborate? Other than that concern, I like your page!(Jane of all trades (talk) 00:49, 24 November 2008 (UTC))[reply]
