tmtfahmiMm The second floor is quiet now. It is four in the monring and my people are sleeping. But I 'can't sleep. I keep thinking about these friends who sleep around me; about what we're doing and why. I'm thinking Revolution, brothers; and what have I done as an individual to end our oppressive government without having to kill anyone. So far, my two biggest moves have been buying the MC5 album and' re­ fusing to take my army physical. Not exactly a Che Guevara, am I? But that isn't what I wanted to tell you. I really wanted to explain some of the changes that have taken place since I first decided to have Board 46 remove my name from their mailing list. On the good side there is Freedom. I have never been as totally insane with Freedom as I am at this moment. Each morning I think: "Wow, man, you should be locked up you're so crazy!" I mean all I ever do now is touch people, smoke dope, lay with my woman, and suggest that people overthrow the government. And that's cool, but' it's getting out of hand. I mean the whole idea of draft refusal, of stopping in your tracks and telling the system to shove it, has emerged into a romantic birthday party. Already I have visions of myself bent over the edge of my cot with a soft blue light hanging overhead as 1 scratch out lonesome letters home that say: "Well, I've lost 30 pounds and they beat me every night before I go to bed with rubber hoses, yet my inner light grows brighter by the hour..."

But, I suppose, it should have been expected. When the first cop was led bleeding from the Sheep Meadow (were there others?), and the crowd cheered and yelled its approval, It should only have been a matter of time. She took off her clothes about 5 p.m., a little spaced out but sort of happy. The crowds im­ mediately gathered (as they had each time someone took off their clothes).

The masks had been seeing this girl as an object to delight those in attendance felt to see so many other freaks — and In that first spring of be-ins, almost every weekend saw our crowds out, confirming that the last week hadn't been merely a vision. The activities were ex­ hibit lonistic, voyeuristic, and tentative. Allen Ginsberg led a group chanting Hare Krishna, the ubiquitous steel band which haunts the park made a showing. By late afternoon, teenyboppers were building sculptures out of kite string and garbage, three dimen­ sional walk-through affairs strung between trees and rocks, partici­ patory art which demanded that you take a piece away, or heave on another tin can. The latest Easter Be-In shows that the hip crowd is growing up; they're becoming the radical crowd, the street crowd, they're becoming less self-conscious, less precious. They're not there yet. The chanting goes on, and the drumming. This year the drums are overturned trash pails and the music is helped along by free grass, passed around so openly no one even glances over his shoulder. In the late afternoon, when the crowd got restless, it didn't turn to bigger garbage sculpture, or madder music. All day long there had beenan undertone of political activity. Just before dusk, it came to the surface. The crowd was tired of pacing back and forth seeing what's happening in this Con't. on page 2. PAGE 2 April 25 - May 15, 1969 Section II KALEIDOSCOPEl Grub Bag: Geography of Hunger

by Ira Jones "Primitive man had a vast number of native plants and animals at his disposal, while civilized man limits himself to a mere handful, confining his basic diet to a small number of products, an insignifi­ cant percentage of the natural varieties existing on the surface of the earth. A study of primitive populations of the Gold Coast showed that the inhabitants of one small community in that region of Africa included in their diet some 114 species of fruit, 46 species of leguminous seeds and 47 species of greens. " — Josue de Castro's Geo, of Hunger

In today's "civilized" world (where people are no longer hunters and gatherers) there are nutritional problems for several reasons. Civiliza­ tions develop around foods easily grown, stored and eaten—wheat, rice, corn-—and hence may yield a fairly narrow diet and spread de- ficiences. Technical processes eliminate the hull of grains and give us "refined" sugar, "polished" rice, and "low-extraction" white flour, foods stripped of vitamins and minerals. The ability of people in ad­ vanced societies to recognize a shortage in the body has been dulled. (Animals will search for certain foods and sometimes accept strange substitutes to fulfill certain basic requirements.) When I think of a "return to nature" I don't envison you and me and the people we love moving to Vermont, Hamilton's Pool, and Colo­ rado and somehow establishing a more total existence. I think of the phenomena of life itself—the whole kaleidoscope of geographical areas and cultures — being able to grasp the existing technology and. to create a beautiful world where people can live human lives. I have been focusing on the Geography of Hunger and the bleak picture it paints of huge areas of the world where masses never de- - velop their human potentials. In biology class we have all heard about the terrible things that can happen if the body suffers neglect. Though the pictures in the text­ books were sad—the problem was hidden behind curious words and obscure symbols called vitamins and minerals, and I never thought that disorders of this type were common. We should have been told instead that i n New Guinea 8 out of 10 children die before reaching puberty. Children all over the world have fragile bones and rotting teeth and will suffer the devastating LET I HliAV MT CAKE AlIX! effects of hunger all their lives. We should have been taught that the reason we were beautiful and healthy and smart was not because we belonged to a superior race, but because of our good diet.

Cushing never lived to see the play performed. He died seven years before it was presented to the public on a summer weekend in July, at Glen Gardner, New Jersey.

Most of them had driven to the locus of the play — Circle H Nude Ranch — from New York 50 miles away. The nudist couple who owns the camp, Earl and Lucille Han­ sen , do not belong to the con- s e r v a tive American Sunbathing Association, so they often do things which would get ASA mem­ bers suspended.
