When I was in college, I was a reporter for the school newspaper. My very first article was about a student protest on 1 . The students, mostly freshman and 2 gathered outside the chemistry building. They were calling for the 3 of Professor Keyes, who they claimed was a particularly 4 teacher. He ran his classroom like a dictator and didn't grade fairly. The students were mostly peaceful and they spent all day 5 "Down with Keyes! Down with Keyes!" However, they did have a minor 6 with other students who tried to defend Professor Keyes. Nobody was hurt, but it was obvious that both sides were very 7 about their beliefs. You could say that my college had a very 8 environment. Students were encouraged to think for themselves, 9 their rights, and fight for what they believed in. This wasn't the only protest during my college years, either. You certainly couldn't criticize the students for being 10 they were always outspoken and involved!
