n 1971, when the Tyee last appeared, the average college student was idealistic, socially oriented, and liberal. The students of the ‘70s fought for the rights and equality of minorities, women, and homosexuals. They were against the Vietnam War and tradition. Change the world, they said; make it better. Now, as the Tyee returns in 1986, the average college student is personally oriented, pragmatic and conservative. The ideals yesterday’s student fought for are generally com- monplace thinking today. College men and women are equally very career-oriented and secretly desire to be yuppies (young urban professionals). Today, we want stability, tradition and a job. We want it all — but as far as we’re concerned, it’s every person for him or herself. So what happened? What changed the college student’s way of thinking?

Students across the nation are protesting tradition and rejecting anything connected to the old way. The annual is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. This trend is expected to bury all yearbooks. — Tyee 1970, Volume 71, p. 480
