The Burr asked professors who have been teaching at Kent Slate for more than 20 years how student ideologies have changed since May 4, 1970. There was a high degree of social concern. But the students more recently seem to be doing a better job at combining the two extremes and coming up with a more heightened social concern today than in the early 1980s, though it still isn't as strong as the '70s.
Students are more frightened to take chances today.
But they are too afraid of Big Daddy and the White House. These attitudes have nothing to do with May 4 - it has to do with the change in culture. I think it's very sad. We live in a European culture. It's class-risen culture.
