No Title (Jocks) depicts athletic supporters of the war surrounding the flag pole. From a series of gelatin silver photographs by an unidentified photography student documenting the May, 1970, strike at the University of New Mexico. The strike occurred after four antiwar students at Kent State University by Ohio National Guardsmen while protesting the invasion of Cambodia by the United States military during the Viet Nam War. The photographs culminate with the bayonetting of thirteen individuals, however, none were killed.
