Flashback The Seventies e o For thase who slept through the tur- bulent 60's, there was lots of dissen- sion left over for the 1970's. Nixon took office in '72 despite aminous Wa- tergate warmings of McGovern and The Washington Post. Vietnam had finally grown up to be a war and Cam- badia had decided to play; but the children of the 60's didn't want to play. The youth acted and reacted; they protested, marched, satin and burned to get someone's attention. They could not be ignored and 'that unpopular police action' was finally stopped. But the youth did not stop; the stifling morals of their fathers' gen- eration had the whole next generation burning. By Lisa Petrillo They stripped their inhibitions and clothing and took to running in promi nent places in 1974. Streaking! And, one spring night, the campus went nuts. No one knows why or how it started. On a March Thursday night 4 000 rioters and revelers took to the streets and some 500 streakers took to their heels. The whole thing started a5 a rumor and ended a mess; people came from nowhere and lined Main and Academy Streets. Police cars were pelted with stones and beer bot- tles by the ecrowd, They fired tear gas back. The next day, Newark City Council put a month-long curfew into effect and drinking in public was prohibited forever-more. But the kids had already shot their wads The students in the years to follow became docile. Oh, there were a few stuttered sit-ins, but, without a unifying cause the rabid reactions of the '60's and early 70's were replaced with an almost wislent introversion. Tom Woalfe called in the me decade. Health food, jogging, disce and open out-of-the.closet homosexuality all re- flected the narcissistic trend. 1977 was a good year for causes. President Trabant trod on a few toes. He had become unpopular with the firing of gay Theater Professor Rich- ard Aumiller, whom he alleged advo- cated homosexuality. It was a big, bad deal with Aumiller winning his suit against the university and President Trabant losing . . . After the Class of 1977 chose their commencement speaker, Trabant reneged on their choice and made his own, saying, stu- dents were not mature enough to make the decision A rally was held in the mall to pro- test and publicize the issue. Five hun- dred students stood in the rain and listened to ex-Political Science Profes- sor Fred Kalinowski. Kalinowski, whase contract had not been renewed, called Trabant an incompetent ad- ministrator among other things, and made a big hit with the crowd. The student government apologized to Trabant the next day for Kalinowski's language. The Board of Trustee's choice a board member spoke at commencement.
