...vote." They are merely working out their authority hang-ups 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...

...ones to let the over-10 set take all the kudos for playground design, the fourth graders at St. Lazarus School in East Boston planned their own "Possible Dream." Their mural-sized drawing depicts a "ride through space." which is taken on a yellow slide entered at top through an Apollo-type capsule. They also intend to throw objects at a gargantuan mouse-target who wears a sign saying "cheese please." A badminton court, and a spook house which has an octopus guarding it are among other parts of their dream...
