HOW TO TELL YOUR PROFESSOR USED TO BE A LONG-HAIRED,DOPE-SMOKING, DRAFT-DODGING, PEACE-PROTESTING HIPPY.

This isn't as easy as it sounds. A lot of ex-hippies changed their lifestyle and appearance in order to fit in with the mainstream. Case to point: Bill Clinton. He went from protesting the war in Vietnam (from the safety of England)to cutting off his beard and declaring "I feel your pain."

10. He has a gray ponytail that hangs down to his butt... AND a bald spot.

9. He has a picture of himself with Angela Davis.

8. He requires ROTC students to wear a sign on their chest that reads "Baby-Killer in Training."

7. He will be in the middle of a lecture on the troubadors of the 13th century when he will suddenly go into a rambling monologue on Woodstock.

6. He drives a VW bus to work with a Clinton/Gore bumper sticker.

5. He shows up at every student protest, no matter how bizarre. Last week it was a Stroller Rights protest...

4. Every once in a while he'll use colloquillisms that are no longer in common use. For instance, he'll talk about how "groovy" Mozart was, or how "heavy" the rise of fascism was in the 1920s.

3. STILL has a pro-Sandinista poster on the door of his office.

2. Confuses the students every once in the while by adding the words "...but come the Revolution" at the end of sentences.

1. Loves students who question everything... unless they also start questioning HIM.
