...against the agists, the squares, the older generation. Students demand more liberal parietals... like young Oliver Twist asking for more food. In Strawberry Statement one of the demands is that the university not expand so that the park (playground) will be preserved "for the kids." Just before the bust the students form concentric circles in the gymnasium and sing "Give Peace A Chance." Such extensions of the Judeo-Christian ethic prevent the radicals from offending the market...
Following the "on-campus marijuana bust" that you report, several groups of Hobart College students exited from their dorms and captured a police car and police officers who were involved in arresting several students found to be in possession of marijuana. The police and students then came to a mutual agreement whereby the arrested students would be allowed to go free if the police car and police officers were returned. The exchange of prisoners took place, and peace returned to Geneva...

Horovitz, of course, got the idea for the movie from James Kunen's book about the Columbia Strike. He went on to construct his own fanciful plot. The center of attention is a crew jock, nice boy though, who becomes "radicalized" during the strike. He endures taunts and even a bloody nose from his friends, some of whom he radicalizes in turn...
This last twenty minute metee casts the opening idyll in a differentlight. The issues were meant to be unimportant; what matters most is the pain of the bust, the baptism under tear gas, and coming of age. While there is much evidence to defend this emotionalism, it becomes an escape valve for rock numbers, artsy shots, synthetic myth making, and facile evasion of issues...
