This is a yellow poster with black photocopied text and images. The top half is a collage of photographs and newspaper headlines. Text in the top left corner reads "Military Buildup In Gulf Draws Fire In Berkeley / Against War", with the second line in large font. There is a cut-out photo of George H.W. Bush in the upper right corner. Images of war make up the rest of the collage. Diagonally across the collage, there is a headline reading "U.N. Issues Ultimatum to Iraq". Another headline to the right reads "Baker Says Bush / Needs Free Hand / To Attack Iraq". Vertically along the right edge is the address of the "Selective Service System" and larger text reading "Selective Service System" with a logo just below. Large, text at the bottom of the collage reads "Anti-War / Protest. Subsequent sections of text are separated by solid black lines. That reads "Stop The War / Before It Starts / Bush On Trial/Mass Die-In / Wednesday, Dec. 5th / Noon Sproul Plaza".
