  These two articles help exemplify the political atmosphere in which students were gaining their education. Though they in no way capture what every student's political belief or participation was at the time, these articles do help contextualize what interested members of the student body and what the Trail editors considered media that students would like to consume.

The result was frustration and a lack of communication, as a younger generation tried to explain their own personal views and choices. [A&SC 18].
