managers to manage without close supervision."15 Over a period of time, each of these managers developed his staff and program in a professional manner. This maturation in every area of the college community was essential to positioning the institution for regional accreditation. Meanwhile, because of the post-World War II baby boom, the 1960s witnessed a tremendous increase in college enrollment throughout the United States. By the end of the decade, over half the nation's population was below 30 years of age. A vocal segment of the new generation was determined to challenge the political, cultural, and social mores of their parents. The student rebellion that began in 1964 on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley quickly spread to other campuses. The three focal points of radical student action were poverty, racism, and war. Early campus protests focused on poverty and racism, but by the midsixties Blacks, Indians, and Mexican-Americans were organizing in their own behalf, and campus activists began focusing on the Vietnam War. The mood became increasingly hostile and ugly with such slogans as "Hey, Hey, LBL how many kids have you killed today?" Campus anti-war protests continued into the Nixon administration and Ohio became the focal point in May 1970, when rioters fire bombed an ROTC building on the Kent State University campus. When the governor sent troops to the university, the resulting conflict ended with guardsmen opening fire, wounding 11 students and killing four. The next week two Black students were killed at Jackson State University in Mississippi, and campuses throughout the nation erupted in riots. Along with their political protests, the students led a cultural revolution in which they sought to overthrow standards ranging from dress and hair style to music and sexual conduct. Intellectual justification for this aspect of the revolution was found in such influential volumes as Theodore Roszak's The Making of a Counter Culture (1969). Folk ballads of social protest became popular with the "flower children," but in the midsixties, the tone of music became more radical. Rock, and later acid rock, glorified drugs and promoted sexual freedom. This cultural revolution was epitomized by the Woodstock Concert, a three-day concert, drug, and sex orgy attended by 400,000 youths. Cedarville College students were never a 128/Chapter XV Students have taken on many projects over the years to raise money for campus needs, as well as serve the community. One such project was "Penny Mile", in which students stretch pennies through downtown Cedarville. As a Student Body Project, they raised enough funds to purchase a van for the Christian Service department. part of the nationwide campus rebellion. The closest thing to controversy at Cedarville in the 1960s revolved around the old town bell. The bell had once been the signal for a fire in the village, but had been dormant over 20 years since being replaced by a siren. The village council donated the bell to Cedarville College at the request of the junior class. The juniors, who removed the bell from the tower of the Village Hall-Opera House, hoped to present it to the college as an official victory bell. Plans were made to install the bell in the tower of Old Main, and college officials planned to "ring the bell regularly, so that once again the citizens of the Village of Cedarville can hear the tolling of their beloved bell."16 However, a group of village and township citizens vehemently protested the giving of the bell to the college. They raised such a commotion that the college eventually asked the village council to let them return the bell. The bell was then stored on village .property.17 As the national election of 1968 approached, the Cedarville students staged a mock election to elect the president of "Cedar What?" For several weeks before the election, candidates argued over campus issues, using phrases typical of the national candidates. Just a few days before the banquet when the election was to be held, Black student Ken Hammonds announced his candidacy. Using the familiar slogans of George Wallace, he told the college family there was "not a dime's worth of
