" ... the biggest campus demonstrations since the Vietnam War," Parse Clintonwise. This may be literally true. Let's hope it stays that way.

All students drinking and having fun at bars on March 7th and 8th will of course be celebrating their freedom to take part in such an act--freedoms not afforded to the youth of Iraq.We so outnumber them. AJ

This is exactly what I thought. As I said on a couple of threads last week, I was at NYU and I saw NO protestors and hardly any posters or leaflets. It was a complete non-event. During the later Vietnam years, NYU was in overdrive. People firebombed the library, students came into class with broken legs after jumping out of windows, professors were haranguing the squirrels in the park, faculty were voting not to give grades . . . you name it.
This time around, nothing. And this despite the fact that numerous left-wing and Trotskyite organizations are in the area ready and willing to make trouble about matters like this.

Penn State is an aberration. But their basketball team sucks this year and, besides, there is nothing else to do in that friggin' town other than get together and bitch.

At Texas A&M, about two dozen students, faculty and community members demonstrated peacefully for several hours with signs, folk music, speeches and readings from the Greek play Lysystrata, in which women withhold sex from their men fighting in a war.

To really get an accurate reflection we should see how many students will skip school to support the war. I would expect more students than thse numbers would skip class for any reason, just to miss class.

Screw Penn State. From now on, "Happy Valley" is "Commie Valley" in my book.
