Resting within a world forever an- chored to a moment of yesterday lie the gates to the antechamber of tomor- row. Within these gates is a selected, perhaps even artificial society out of which the threats of yesterday will either be perpetuated like the anchored world or turned into promises that will be kept upon a thousand tomorrows. This is a chronicle of that society — of that time, that place — the rites, rituals, and routines that shall, in time, perpetuate the threats or keep the promises. Somehow the insanity of registration lines, missed curfews, non- computed course schedules, the hours, the people will all make a difference. Somehow demonstrations, bitch-be-and love-ins, the selective service sword of Damocles, all nighters, electric bananas and electronic carillons, LSD and 11 cent cokes will work their strange magic and this “day in the life” will make a difference — somehow.
