[Marxism] origins of the term "student power"

[Doug Nesbitt <djnesbit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi alll,
I thought this might be an appropriate place to ask if anybody knew the
origins of the term "student power", specifically the event/person that
popularized it.

So far, the earliest use of the term that I've found is on a banner reading
"Happiness is Student Power" during the December 1966 Berkeley student
strike. Carl Davidson of SDS mentions this in an article published in the
Penguin/New Left Review 1969 collection of essays "Student Power" from 1969.

If you can provide a source, that would be good, too.

In case you were wondering, I'm writing my MA thesis on the history of the
Canadian Union of Students (1963-69), and in 1967, the term "student
syndicalism" is increasingly replaced by "student power". The terms are used
interchangeably, at least in 1967 and in the context of the Canadian Union
of Students (a federation of student councils, not individual students).
Don't worry, my thesis doesn't depend on this question being answered.
