Best Answer

College student males were the prime candidates for the military draft; they could safely remain "draft dodgers" if they maintained a 2.0 education average and carried at least 18 college units. Once they dropped below those two established standards...they were draft eligible. Knowing this...college students protested the war (a disquise for protesting the draft).

What event that helped create the counterculture?

The Vietnam war was what really started the hippie movement in the 60's and 70's. People were tired of being in a war that couldn't be won, and many, mostly young students on campuses, started to protest against the war. One example is Woodstock, in 1969, or the protests against Nixon's secret bombing of Cambodia at Kent and Jackson State Universities. "Hippies" are most known for their "Make love, not war" philosophy. The counterculture was also a mix of sexual revolution and drug experimenting, like LSD.
