	Sir George Williams Computer Riot - Definition, explanation
		The Sir George Williams Computer Riot was a 1969 event at Sir George Williams University in Montreal, Canada, now a part of Concordia University.
		Fed up with what they considered to be intransigence on the part of the administration, students left a meeting and occupied the university computer lab on the eighth floor of the Henry F. Hall Building.
		The riot was covered extensively by the Canadian media: all of the television networks filmed the event live from outside the university.

	Jihad at 'Gaza U' - Campus Watch
		Concordia came into being in 1974 with the merger of two disparate colleges, Sir George Williams University, situated downtown less than a dozen short city blocks from McGill University, and Loyola College, an English-speaking offshoot of the Jesuit College Sainte-Marie, about a half-hour from the downtown campus.
		Sir George had found its niche as a school for older students, most of whom worked during the day and looked to its downtown night-time programs for a recognized degree.
		Since the riot, however, talk of restoring fairness to the playing field has given way to debate over whether there should be any place at a Canadian university for the kind of rough-and-tumble rugby imported wholesale from the Middle East.

		This much-discussed incident has also been called The Compute Centre Crisis and the Sir George Williams Affair occurred in 1969 when Roosevelt (Rosie) Douglas was 28, a 16-year resident of Canada, a landed immigrant and a student of McGill University.
		The riot still remains the most serious student disturbance on a Canadian university campus in history.
		The professor concerned was exonerated after an inquiry, and continued his career at Sir George Williams and Concordia.

	e.Peak (25/9/2000) news: 'National security risk' returns to Concordia as PM of Dominica
		Douglas led the student movement at Concordia's precursor, Sir George Williams University, that was responsible for the now-famous 1969 Computer Riot.
		Joking that the students involved in the 1969 incident "knew the importance of computers," he expressed interest in setting up a technology exchange between Concordia University and Dominica.
		Tom Keefer, student association spokesperson, said the security measures were a reflection of the high-calibre speaker.

		He holds a diploma from the Ontario Agricultural College and a Bachelors Degree in Political Science and Economy from Sir George Williams University in Montreal, now part of Concordia University.
		That same year, he was deported from Canada as a "national security risk" after serving 18 months in prison for his role in a protest against racism at Sir George Williams University that turned violent and became known as the computer riot of February 11, 1969.
		The Commonwealth of Dominica won independence from Britain in 1978 and Douglas was first elected to the Dominican Parliament in 1985.

		In fact, the hot new technology of the computer thoroughly befuddled the meanings of back up, bit, boot, browser, crash, disk, dot, hacker, hard drive, hit, mail, memory, menu, mouse, net, park, prompt, provider, scroll, spam, surf, virus, Web site (no longer just where Charlotte lives), and window.
		As the wonders of the computer impacted on her mind, she acquired a new user-friendly vocabulary: clip art, desktop publishing, emoticon, floppy disk, ink-jet, Internet, keypad, kludge, laptop, morphing, mouse potato (a couch potato attached to a computer), number crunching, software, spreadsheet, and voice recognition.
		During the second half of the twentieth century, the tree of American English experienced a riot of new growth -- a sign that our multifoliate language is deeply rooted in the nourishing soil of change.

	Montreal Mirror : Letters to the Editors & Contact Info
		But I do claim the right and responsibility to oppose racism.
		For the record, I sacrificed my "education" fighting racism at the Sir George Williams "computer centre riot" in 1969 and have been an activist in the increasingly multiracial labour movement since then.
		I feel compelled to respond specifically to Rob Coulas' stated enjoyment of spitting ["Frothing at the mouth," Letters, Feb. 25].
