If it weren't for you, none of the life-shaping adventures & fun I experienced at UConn, some listed above, would have ever happened. The social & curfew rules on every campus changed completely from about '64-70, going from no visitation at all between the sexes to anything goes by the time I transferred in, in '71. And I had gone first to a Southern college with no co-mingling at all & everyone hated it. How dare they ignore our humanity & primal urges! Previously, I had visited friends at UConn from '67 on, often staying in the Alumni dorms. They really were the best on campus back then. Had a blast everytime I went & I could feel the opening up of the social rules each time I went up to Storrs. Heck, people could even protest without getting arrested or their records ruined. My great times there in the late 60's helped me change my transfer decision away from NYC & SUNY schools up to UConn. I'm so glad I went there, in those times. So cohenzone, it was students like you, the brave ones in the era of parentis in loco who looked the elders in the eyes for change, & who truly paved the way for our era of social protest & the unbelievable upheaval in social license we enjoyed & experimented with (see Jungle story above). Thank you for that, cohenzone! All the best to you in your dotage. Mahalo a nui! alohachris [/QUOTE]
