A profound sense of the absurd 18

”

Page 23 text:

“

Yale Professor Robert Jay Lifton has found that today’s youth are going through a flux in emotions and beliefs characterized in part by a profound sense of absurdity which finds expression in a tone of mockery. This kind of put-down humor was evident here last year, and for the reasons he cites. These days, when we have more information that we know what to do with, it's hard not to see the absurdity in rules that are unenforceable or in regulations that are blinked at by those charged with their enforcement. When we are being given more responsibility, it's hard not to mock a seemingly contrary movement, like the attempt to enforce traffic patterns in the library. Our humor was not always understood by our elders, especially those among the faculty who still viewed themselves as dispensers of facts. Nor was our sense of the absurd universal. While many of us thought it laughable that we should have to attend English daily, for example, others went religiously. Many saw an ab- surdity, too, in studying ancient history when we could have been rapping; about the war in Southeast Asia. Admittedly our sense of the absurd was sometimes flawed by our inexperience and our lack of wisdom. It often led us to acts that were immature and irresponsible. But it did produce changes in the school which we recognized even if we didn't always acknowledge. 19
