All of what Richard says about Hampshire in his nice book is completely true. I should know as I was in the heat of it all as Stevie Hormone.
God bless Richard and keep up the good work

I was a hamp student from 81-86. you have hit the nail on the head. drugs were prevalent. strange events having nothing to do with academia were common place.DaveDave filmed himself crapping on a plate. i dragged a rigamortized NYC punk down from atop Norwatok in the middle of the night and took him to the hospital. he was pissed at me for helping. i could go on and on. school officials did nothing to reign anyone in. At least the wayward drug addicts were tolerant, especially when the 8 way windowpane came in from California. woe unto anyone who fell out of favor with the politically correct elite. despite all that i managed to make real and lasting friendships and i learned something. i think.

Your slacker resume for the last 20-years, which is padded with a 3rd-rate reality show and a TMZ-like blog editor position shows you are still the slacker sort. Less the seer than the conceited.

One Hampshire professor when asked by concerned parents that were dropping their kids off for the start of their college careers if there was a drug problem on campus famously replied: “There’s no problem getting drugs here.”

True story.

Hey- Ralph has a college to sell. Whaddaya expect him to do?

The PC folks were so easy to upset it was hardly any fun. In ‘83 (during the Reagan-El Salvador-Nicaragua circus) there was a group that called itself CASA (Central American Solidarity Alliance), distinctive for the fact that it contained not one member who was in the least bit Central American. Dave Taub & Stevie Hormone (who had somehow established a beachhead in otherwise whole wheat Enfield) started an organization called SACA – Students Against Cuban Aggression. I was interim chair of the community council, and I think we managed to kick some beer money their way.
