S. college students to Ive. And since education almost vays meant fighting for causes— instead of—grades, it’s no mder that indepth disillusionment s draped itself over unsuspecting liege students. rhe above problems all are mala- ;s that students themselves didn’t er create. The philosophy in re nt years has been that the world s been bent, folded, mutilated, d stapled. For about the last 1 years, students thought it was sir responsibility to un-fold, un- itilate, and re-staple the parts ck together again. Now it’s the drawing of a new 1. Evolution. Sit-ins, teach-ins, its, confrontations, bombings, oratoriums, rallies and strikes w are mere memories of the Six- s. fVfter seven years of disoriented :dent disruptions, the Seventies eezed in. And with them, the ar continued and we demon- ■ated. . . and we continued to demon- ■ate vehemently for and against lat we did and didn’t believe in. id the nation listened. Not to the issage of the student protest, but ly to the message of the media the screaming headline, the loud wscast, the acrimonious editorial' out the student protests. And then along came Now. A :ling of futility has set in, bred t of frustration and confusion. Last academic year was a proph- ,c indication of this: campuses ;re calmer. An occasional rally. 1 occasional march. But quieter. Why the change ? Ihe problems still are there, but r tactics have changed, if not nished, according to Dew Olim, National Student Association sen- • staff member. Olim said he is definite symptoms of “with- awl, defeatism, lack of direction d dropping out. ’ He said he :s two possible reasons for all is. by Rick Mitz “Money is getting tighter, prices are going up and parents are com plaining. Students now are under standing the plight of the working- class man, and so they are dropping out and trying to find Jobs,” he said. The Attica incident, and the con tinuing War are a few of the on going frustrations that, Olim said, “have produced feelings of major disillusionment among students.” Olim said he sees these as feelings brought on by a national student feeling of innefectual'ity. Students have retreated within themselves in a quiet-dissent, self- exploratory way. And the result is a new individuality, a new problem- orientation that might yet solve the problems that violent protest couldn’t Individualism skips rampant through the student life-style. Give -Peace A Chance chants have evolved into a new soft music, a new gentle sound of manifesting itself in quiet love stories in song. Small shops and co-ops have opened, selling hand-made, back- to-earth clothing and organic goods, a reaction against depersonalized mass-produced culture. Do-it-yourself attitudes accom pany the do-your-own-thing phi losophy. We grow our own organic food, make our own cl-othes, build our own furniture, plan our own curricula, ride our own bikes in stead of driving a car . . . and the list is as long as the list of prob lems. But our newly-discovered Student Age of Individualism isn’t benefi cial if it isn’t channeled in positive directions. Hopefully, it isn t self- indulgent, isolated individualism. Hopefully, in developing ourselves as individuals, we’ll create the impetus to get back together and then get it all together. There seems to be a change of consciousness, but, hopefully, not a lack of it. Students are looking for new kinds of solutions. Hope fully, they are no less concerned about the problems. But if—through the vote and within the system rather than with out it—students can’t be effective in changing our environment an other stage of disillusionment—one punctuated with apathy, discourage ment and 19S0s nostalgia—may set in. The list of Relevant Issues is growing longer and longer.
