I taught at the U. of Rochester for two years in the dark backward and abysm of time (1978-80) and in fact enjoyed it a lot.  Following this link, I found that Rochester's "Campus Times" has not changed its type face in 30 years.  (It was I think one of the first university newspapers to be written and edited entirely on computers.)

Rochester is a strangely isolated place.  (The campus is partially surrounded by a cemetery, which contains the mortal remains of both Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony; it's so cold and snowy that the major campus buildings are connected by tunnels; and Steve, the bartender at the faculty club, who made a famous vodka martini with the conjuration, "It's all in the wrist," pried the Watney's Red Barrel dispenser from the bar and presented it to me as I left town.)  If I may be allowed one self-referential story, as the election of 1980 approached, the then-editor of the student paper asked me to write an analysis for a special edition; he also asked a number of members of the political science [sic] department to do so; they agreed -- on the condition that the paper not publish my article...

So dear God, what happened???  Whose article(s) did the student newspaper publish?

 
I'm proud of the contemporary UR students. --CGE

SDS Students occupy a building for 9 hours on behalf of Palestinian cause. Maybe Carl is wrong about cold weather uprisings. It's a start.
