Don't know your age Harlan, but in my time at the quad (mid 50's), in the
Engineering schools at Michigan, it was strictly panty raids, football, and
wars, in that order, with an occasional ignition of flatulence thrown in,
just to analyze the reason for the differing colors from one individual to
another.
Social issues were never addressed, except in the Arts schools.
And that reminds me of an interesting point.
All the Engineering schools had a code of honor during exams: no proctors
were ever present.
Any cheating *was* reported by the students.
But the Arts schools, with all their benevolent beliefs, had no such code.
And cheating was very prevalent, where every exam room had to have at least
3 "watchers" in attendance.
So much for *their* discussions of world hunger.

What do you believe the grad student lounge was like when I was there?
Perhaps this points out a difference between math grad students (in part it
was a survival mechanism for preparing for qualifying exams in which
anything & everything out of your mouth would be challenged) and liberal
arts undergrads. But, yes, I still remember undergrad days discussing how to
eliminate world hunger.
