The main east campus has a run-down appearance. When I attended back in the early 1980s the student body was mainly low-class blue collar folks attempting to escape their socio-economic ruts. It was also the era of the Student Revolutionary Strike Force that attempted to counter the sport star-cheerleader rah rah attitude that made MJC reminiscent of a 1950s high school. We livened the place up a bit. 68.13.191.153 22:45, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
