Daisies to drugs Flower children came out of the west five years ago. They have adjusted, become commercial and settled down. But their heritage remains in faded jeans and flannel shirts. They also thought love was beautiful and filled rifles with flowers, but what they wanted was not always found in flowers. They went on to drugs and street fighting and political power. They became hippies, yippies and freaks.

The new morality — freedom and happiness The English poet. John Keats, said beauty is truth, truth beauty. — that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know. Today, with strip joints fleshing out all over, a new doctrine is sweeping the land. On college campuses around the nation the new morality is claiming that freedom from moral restraint is both beauty and truth. According to this newest and oldest of doctrines (Cleopatra embraced it centuries ago), only an absence of moral laws can result in happiness. Since 1970. the new morality has pervaded every nook and cranny of society. First the bikini stripped the vital parts of a woman's anatomy, then the mini-skirt allowed those who would look a glimpse at eternity, and now drooping breasts bounce in an endless swaying of movement. Truth has been found, according to some, and as hair becomes a mark of manhood, the new morality merrily bumps and grinds its way through one shocking fad after another. 30 In Oshkosh, the new morality has set civilization back innumerable centuries. Ape-like looking poets shamble into dark caves filled with smoke and fiery glints of light, groups of tiger-fierce musicians pound on their drums with a barbaric passion and time is forgotten as the sweet smoke of marijuana gives man a new vision of truth. Communal living has tried to establish a firm tie of brotherhood between men and women and private bedrooms have become Eden-like laboratories of experimentation. In a sense, the world has been turned upside down. The moral is imoral and the immoral is moral. There are serious questions to be asked, however. Is the new morality a new philosophy, or is it something different, a state of chaos? Is a new truth possible in a world already overburdened with truths? Does nirvana necessarily follow on the heels of freedom? Answers to such questions, of course, are hard to come by. but perhaps answers should be searched for. A new truth could lead one into a new world glittering with perfection, but a false step could also lead us toward D-day, annihilation.
