Marie, I think those who started colled in '70 had a very different life 
experience than those in colledge in '80.  None of this fits my definition.  
I do not consider myself part of the "baby boom " generation at all, hippie 
stuff was gone in my college years, even disco was already dead, as far as 
pop culture.
