UT students in 80s ‘boring’

Janet Wilson, a recent graduate of the universi
ty, agreed.
“It used to be that students would grasp any
thing to jump on a bench and get a rally going,”
she said. “People now are more concerned with
how they dress and look. It’s a social status thing.
They don’t care about politics anymore. ”
An early morning stroll through Guadalupe
Street, the campus’ main drag, confirms Wilson’s
assessment. Throngs of students — some chatter
ing away — scurry to make that business or en
gineering class.

with alligators on them) and designer jeans or

United Press International
GROSSE POINTE PARK, Mich.
— A police station in a posh Detroit
suburb was not the likely place for
what looked like a rummage sale.
But neither were the “customers”
likely rummage sale shoppers.
The well-to-do women rummag
ing through a pile for their undergar
ments were all victims of the “ling-
ie looter.”
The crowd converged on the Cros
se Pointe Park police detective
bureau late last week to reclaim their
lingerie, stolen from their clothes
lines during the summer by a bandit
on a bicycle, described by police as a
polite and courteous kid who has
one bad hangup.”
Its been a circus around here,”
said Detective Richard Wedding,
describing the atmosphere at the
bureau as the women tried to iden-
hfy their lingerie.
Numerous area women reported
seeing a young man ride into their
yards on a bicycle, grab the under-
garmets from clotheslines, stuff
in his shirt and ride away.
The thefts were first reported in
June and continued until a week ago,
police said, when officers on patrol
spotted the suspect in an alley in the
neighborhood.
He pleaded guilty to larceny.
What was once the state’s mecca for dissent and
protest is no more. Enhancing career goals is the
vogue.
“These kids today are more boring,” said Bell.
When I was a student I was more interested in
the things around me. These kids are pretty much
self contained.
“The amazing thing to me is that they want to
find out what’s expected of me and then they want
to do it. But they are not really concerned with
anything that requires thinking. They are a good
example of the television age.
“They are just uncaring people.”
Ten years ago Frank C. Erwin Jr., chairman of
the UT Board of Regents, ruled supreme. He was
a man so powerful the students loved to hate him,
and confrontations with him were frequent.
He tagged the radical and liberal students who
opposed him as “dirty nothings.” Erwin stepped
down from his “throne” five years ago, but re
mained a vociferous and fierce advocate of UT.
Erwin died of a heart attack on Oct. 1. He was
eulogized in the Special Events Center, a 15,000-
seat arena on the campus he was instrumental in
building. Former governors and big-time politi
cians came to pay homage.
Not one of Brenda Bell’s sophomore journalism
students had ever heard of him.
Six months ago Republican presidential candi
date Ronald Reagan appeared at a rally at the
Lyndon B. Johnson Auditorium. More than 2,000
showed up. About 1,200 were students in desig
ner jeans, short hair and heavily starched shirts
and blouses. They cheered Reagan when he said
America had failed in Vietnam.
“Never will we let our young men fight when
their leaders are afraid to let them win,” he
shouted as the students, waving American flags,
stood in adulation.
A bewildered professor who has taught at UT
for 20 years stood at the rear of the auditorium
watching the students, many of whom even wore
three-piece suits.
“It is funny how they’ve (university students)
come full circle,” said the professor. “It doesn’t
seem so long ago our students were protesting
against this same kind of attitude.”
Dr. David McClintock, associate dean of stu
dents, said the change in America’s economy in
the last 10 years and the absence of the Vietnam
war are largely responsible for the more subdued
and conservative attitude among UT students. He
said the changes have also given students an
opportunity to become more involved in personal
career goals.
“I think those changes,” he said, “have made it
possible for students to concentrate on other
things and not be so vocal about it.”
He said the students of the 80s are as serious
minded as the students of the 70s, but the focus
has changed.
Bell agreed with McClintock, but she said her
students are reluctant to consider the fact “they’ll
have to pay dues” before success is secure.
“My students are ambitious. They all want to
be Jessica Savitch and Dan Rather, but they don’t
have any conception of what it’s going to take to
get them there.”
