I remember the 60′s as a bad period, in which scruffy, dirty looking youth ruled the universities like little Chine revolutionary terrorists, stopping lectures, intimidating teachers, killing academic achievements and the rise of crime and drug use. Women became disposable commodity, and property (in colleges) became free for all. I remember that during the same week, while the trouble makers shut down the school, jane Fonda arrived and did her number, while prowlers from Harlem were walking into the administration offices and picking the IBM Selectrons and riding the Lexington Subway line (6) back to Harlem to sell them. I recall my professor being vandalized, beat, robbed in the toilet, and how extremists made sure no one could continue to study. In retrospect, these were the hallmark days of youthful Facism with a smiling face in America. Education went down the toilet-this was the same period when they instituted open admission which sank completely and level of standards to the bottom and the period of the Certified Moron with a diploma began. We live not only to regret it, but we have to pay for it daily. Only the hard-hats-down on Wall Street, stood up and whacked good the long haired anarchists, in their dirty clothes and bad manners. They are the unsung heroes of that era. I am sure, we are likely to revisit it soon.
