In the sixties, I went to Antioch College, known then as the Berkeley 
of the Midwest (Our required reading as entering freshmen in 1965 was 
"The Berkeley Student Revolt"). I suspect those radical college 
communities were ineligible to vote for Reagan or anyone else, since 
the people in both places were obviously from the moon.
