With Kent State, suddenly became a serious matter. No longer was it the fun, communal event that radicals like Jerry Rubin used for their own amusement. Americans felt, if only briefly, that the violence common under repressive regimes had been brought to their doorstep. Some began to wonder if their government had become worse than those it was fighting. The movement spilled over into all aspects of student life and . Students demanded and won concessions from college ad- ministrators on issues of curriculum and admissions. By organizing opposition to the war through channels legal and illegal, young people helped end American involvement in Vietnam and temporarily changed this country's foreign policy. In addition, students learned how to have an effect upon corporate and national leaders who previously ignored their opinions. Now we seem to be losing the necessary will. In 1984, that may be a cause for regret. The end of the war and the public support for a morally defensible foreign policy were victories for the college students of the late '60s and early '70s. Jimmy Carter capitalized on those hopes with his human rights campaign during the first years of his administration. But the recent military action in Iran signifies a return to aggressiveness in American foreign policy.
