On March 23, 1969 KCBS Radio broadcast an episode of its weekly “In Depth” interview program, featuring controversial interm San Francisco State College President S. I. Hayakawa as the guest. Interviewers were KCBS Radio anchor Fred Wilcox, reporter Al Helmso, and legendary Time-Life journalist Jesse Birnbaum, then serving as chief of Time-Life’s San Francisco bureau.

Three days after the tumultuous re-opening of what was then called San Francisco State College during a period of campus unrest, interim SF State President S. I. Hayakawa and San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto met with reporters on the evening of December 5, 1968. You'll hear KCBS Radio anchor Frank Knight introduce the station's live coverage.

Student unrest at what was then known as San Francisco State College led to the shutdown of the campus in the fall of 1968. Newly-installed President S. I. Hayakawa ordered the campus re-opened on December 2, 1968, leading to a confrontation between Hayakawa and protesters with a loudspeaker-equipped truck. The next day, he sat down for an extended interview with KCBS Radio Managing Editor Jim Simon.
