[Peace-discuss] Student occupation

[Jenifer Cartwright]

And maybe it's the vodka martinis and Watney's Red Barrel dispenser that provide an explanation for the abbreviated teaching stint...

So maybe it's the tunnels that provide the inspiration for solidarity with
Gaza.

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...

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