Toward Improved Campus Life

To those who have recently ventured from the confines of the luxurious dormitory facilities, it is apparent that Yeshiva University Security Chief Don Sommer's military occupation of the uptown campus has been a thorough one. Uniformed warriors saturate the vast expanses of the two-block campus from Belfer to Schottenstein to the "Main Building." These mercenaries of death are trained in the useful skills of identification card demand, sitting, standing, and the occasional surreptitious sleeping episode. This totalitarian police state has given rise to a campus that is virtually bereft of crime, life, spirit, vitality or any other features that might suggest that a university exists at the corner of 185th Street and Amsterdam Avenue.

Whenever I see clips of television commercials that date from the 1950's, I chuckle. They're so benign.

Modern advertising has gone beyond the standards of yesteryear to the point where I'm embarrassed to watch TV with my dad in the room.
