Robert Smith in the McKenna Theatre

President Robert Smith delivers a speech in the McKenna Theater at San Francisco State College. He is seen at a podium asking for initial welcoming applause to cease. Students are shown watching the speech inside the auditorium on television in a separate room and listening outside to loudspeakers. Much of the sound is muffled but he is clearly heard stating that police protection will be required on campus. Smith's speech is heard in the background as the camera focuses on student reactions to his words.
