It was truly interesting to watch the video about UCSD back in the day. I never really thought much of my four years that I've experienced at UCSD under the context of the current students, faculty, and historical time period. Seeing the same buildings that stand today, yet how different the campus was back then... it really puts things in perspective. It was especially interesting to note the types of stuff that was painted on a Revelle dorm room windows. I lived in Revelle dorms my freshman year and we too painted stuff on our windows. They were mostly useless stuff, like squiggles and jokes and such. Back then they painted things like peace signs, POWER, and other more politically aware slogans that shows us what was important to students back in that time, important enough in their lives for them to think to paint such different things than we do now.
