dsm0n$lrail0]l$ Demonstrations, counter demonstrations, demonstrations against demonstration and teach-ins gave a militant look to the year. Civil rights and student discontent about PSC conditions took a back seat to the new nemeses of the New Left, Vietnam and the draft. For most at PSC the demonstrations were an interesting spectacle-nothing more than a spectator sport. They were an exercise in futility, stirring up feeling against the very causes which they espoused. But for the dem- onstrator, they were a chance to be part of a potential power group-proof that he could do something to influence policy, to offset his feelings of alienation, even though noth- ing indicated that his demonstrations changed anything, or even anybody's mind. ffiWffi --b,l -@ # 1, i. *#"* -aa#'ds affit !lffis..: 148
