But we decided that wasn't the day to bring back yellow journalism. But this isn't the '60s, and this wasn't a sit-in. I watched as all the workers politely found their seats and waited for the address to begin. People tell me there used to be protests on this campus all the time during the '60s and '70s, but I find that hard to believe. It's a whole other world here now.
People barely get upset enough to write a letter to the editor about the university.
Snapping out of my daydream, I realized that I had better find a seat. The back had filled up quickly, and it looked like there was going to be quite a crowd. As I maneuvered to the front I noticed that it was practically empty. The people at the address were not much different from the students in the classes. No one wants to sit up front in English 101, hardly anyone sat up front at the speech either.
