It's kind of hard to guess because the pic is in nature, not exactly enough clues for what was popular in fashion or culture at the time.

Oh!  I might've made a different guess if I had known that.

Everyone seems dressed a bit warmly for early August.  The summers of 1992 and 1993 were exceptionally cool due to the eruption of Mt Pinatubo.

From wunderground.com I see that there was a strong cold front the week of August 15, 1992.  Temperatures were 10 to 20 degrees below normal throughout the Midwest and East and as far south as Texas.

This one might be a little tricky so I'll give a small hint: the date is April 12.  The protestors are reacting to something that was made public at the beginning of the week.

Wow!! You're all way off!

I guess it's hard to see the lettering on the signs.  The big banner at the top right reads "CIA / OUT OF / NICARAGUA".  The brown cardboard sign says "...E OPPOSE / INTERVENTION / NICARAGUA / ☮".

1984.  The date is April 12, 1984.

Earlier that month, it was revealed that the CIA had been mining Nicaragua's harbors as part of the Reagan Administration's attempts to support the anti-Sandinista rebels, aka the contras.  As in Iran-Contra, the scandal that would break two and a half years later.

So, Howard wins.

When I uploaded that picture I thought maybe I'm being a little too cruel because those old VW Beetles will throw everybody way off.  I wasn't even thinking so much about the hairstyles.

I'm not sure if this will help or if it'll just throw people off even more, but here's a peek at more of the same page:

Fascinating answers.  Is it the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, zeroes, or now?  Who do you think was President of the United States that school year?  LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr, or Obama?  Small hint #1: he was definitely NOT having the best year of his presidency, in fact, one of his most stressful.  Small hint #2: Congressional Democrats had something to be happy about that November (yes, I'm saying it was an election year, i.e., the school year is even-odd).  Small hint #3: the reference to landlines / party lines --- this is before college students had cell phones.  Hint #4: I just realized that Hint #1 implicitly contains a second hint.  I think these hints collectively narrow it down to about three possibilities; there's almost enough to figure it out without even looking at the photographs!

Shall I reveal tomorrow?
