The Sixties have been an incredible decade. We have been caught between two revolutions: the youth of America struggling to overthrow the Establishment, and the blacks to possess their long-overdue rights. This decade will be remembered in history as a time of rapid and varied transition: the birth of the hippies protesting the fake and narrow-mindedness of the middle class, the revolt against censorship, the assassinations of the Kennedy’s and Martin Luther King, nudity on the stage, the new sound of the Beatles, air pollution, drugs, student protests, the walk on the moon, and, most important of all, the effects of the war in Vietnam. In the past ten years the youth of this country have also changed. Their sense of honesty became prevalent. Many showed a kind of new courage when they dropped out of school, burned draft cards, copped-out of Vietnam duty, and refused to work for the “rotten” Establishment. No longer would they blindly obey the orders of their elders. Rules were questioned and reasons demanded. We have lived through this decade and its effect has been felt on our own campus. With the war in Vietnam, air pollution, and the Kent State situation came movements on campus to try and do our part to rectify the events and show that we care about where our country is going. We sponsored an Earth Day, a symposium for PEACE, and held seminars as a result of the deaths of students at Kent State University. During this time, classes were cancelled in most universities across the country. We are grateful to the faculty that they recognized our rights as individuals to continue our education if we desired to do so. The PSC students are to be congratulated on their mature attitude and handling of the events on campus. It was stated in the 1969 Conning Tower that “Isolated in the microcosm of Plymouth we sense life but don’t always experience it.” I think we’ve proven this statement wrong, and its about time!
