Yah, students, especially, get sucked into every kind of
exploitation and dumb promotion.
When I was at the University majoring in cold war history, I had to
endure 'U.S. Twentieth Century' history, three quarters, two of them I had,
Berman and Noble, -were working their guts out to make the kids think the
United States was a bad outfit, Theodore Roosevelt was really Hitler in
disguise, so on and so on.
There are a lot of older-than-student types that never got their
egoes built up enough in the real world so they go back and try to be
ods, -build up followings.
When I was there Gloria Steinem and Jane Fonda were there every few
weeks and some group was advertising big womens's meetings on
asturbation, -then they cancelled the meeting because lots of guys were
calling up to help. (Believe it or not, that is true, I worked at the
Admissions Office and people were exclaiming under their breath about it.)
So I suppose some non proffessorial types will be holding meetings
on campus and trying to give the kids as warped as possible of an outlook
and attitude towards their country and the world.
