Campus Politics and Styles of Dress, 1970

 After World War I, students in college started to realize what the world was doing.  In the pre-World War II days, the students made effigies of Adolf Hitler and burned them.  They dressed like the G.I.'s and proclaimed their patriotism to America.  The pre-German wore Nazi-armbands and brown shirts.
 The 1950's gave the students a time for leisure.  They were not concerned with the problems of the world.  All they cared about was dancing in bobby socks.  They wore loose dresses and baggy pants, so that they would have more freedom for dancing.
 The 1960's was the decade for awareness.  The Bay of Pigs incident made all the boys shave their beards, because they didn't want to look like Castro.  Then the Vietnam War became a reality.  Student protests became commonplace.  People started to put peace signs over everything.  Non-conformity became the fad, so hair became longer, dress became "sloppier", and the whole fashion was liberal.
 There is no telling what the 1970's will bring.
