I imagine your frat parties must have been chock full of one insufferable jerk after another.

Actually no. There were students from all over the country in my fraternity. Our class in the fraternity included students from Arkansas, Tennessee, Florida, New Mexico, Washington state, Texas, Georgia, New York, Massachusetts, and overseas.

Some faculty members were liberal or even extremely liberal, at least in the humanities and economics departments and perhaps one or two other departments. The student body was more conservative. We were mostly science and engineering students. I watched a large crowd of students burn Fidel Castro in effigy on campus. The students recognized him for what he was, while the MSM of the day, like the NY Times, did not.

Surprisingly good news and 'tude at the time. Sounds like good times.

Too bad things must surely have changed by now.
