the vendors in their carts who sold everything from hot food to t-shirts were hawking their wares ; students and professors strolled by ; among them were many students who were going to be part of todays anti-war rally , which was to begin on the library mall , using the steps to the library as a kind of podium , followed by a march across university avenue to university square where the military recruitment office was , and then end by marching up bascom hill to the chancellors office where they would demand to see him and ask him to refuse to allow military recruitment on campus .
