How times have changed. Circa 1967 Northeast Louisiana State College, Monroe, Louisiana. Two days before Thanksgiving the students would “Riot.” We would all gather outside of the University Presidents Home on Campus and yell, “We want a Holiday.” After about ten minutes of “Rioting” it would be announced that we would have an extra day off for Thanksgiving. It was all in good fun and nothing was harmed. Campus security did not even bother to show for “the riot.”
I had to laugh at one of the riots, as one of the girls lost a contact lens. In 1966 contacts cost a lot of money. All within about ten feet of her stopped moving and we all carefully searched the ground for her lens. We found it and then “the riot” proceeded as normal.
Times have changed and not for the better.
Thanks for the great story, you’re so right about the times changing and not for the better.
