A Four Year Bummer was a small publication started in 1969 by students at The University of Illinois and servicemen stationed at the Chanute Air Force Base in Champaign, Illinois and was affiliated with the American Servicemen’s Union.[1] The publication, previously named “Harrass The Brass” was short lived, not lasting past the early 1970s[2] and focused primarily on the poor conditions at Chanute AFB and news from the broader GI movement.[3] There are less than 10 copies of A Four Year Bummer in the Hall Hoag Collection Part II.
