Th e students here are mostly inarticulate, uncreative and dull. The only " controversial issues" which concern 99% of the URI st udent body are such shockers as who can drink the most beer, or cut the most classes , or belch the loudest, or pass a course with the least amount of studying . .. etc. . etc. Th e URI student is not a true representation of the typical American college student. The fact of the matter is that the URI student, in his parochial isolation and overprotected environment, is a most atypical breed , indeed. The peculiar mentality of the URI student allows these " leaders of tomorrow" to stand meekly by as their humble and conse rvative institution fades into oblivion. Apathy is the trade mark of campus life and individualism and protest are virtually unknown. Each person 's behavior must be sanctioned by his or her respective " house." The level of maturity and involvement has been most recently demonstrated in Panty Raid '68. The brilliant young men and women of URI , after having their intellectual orgasm for the year, quickly retreat . in order to plan new fun and games. Indeed , at URI there is safety in numbers . R.
