Human Be-In Station Rotation You will participate in an outta sight experience today involving the most happening movements of the 1960s. All chicks and dudes will move from station to station see the choice trends of the times in a hands on manner. Don’t be a spaz and get involved!

Station A: The New Left-Letter Writing You were inspired by a speech given by Mario Savio at UC Berkeley and now you want to promote activism through your support of the Free Speech Movement. You are so tired of people trying to shut down your opinions just because you are young. They act like you don’t have anything intelligent to say… fools. Begin a letter writing campaign by writing to Governor Jerry Brown about a cause that is important to you. Make sure to relate it to the Free Speech Movement and your basic first amendment rights.

Station B Anti-Establishment-Slogan You are a hippie who wants to reject the views of the “Establishment” because they control society and make us all act like sheep. Think about it, we should be treated like individuals and not just students in a factory that produces mindless middle management drones. Do something! Think about a cause that you feel passionately about and create a slogan on a nametag that you will wear all day. Make sure to relate it to similar causes that the hippies cared about in the 1960s.

Station C Personal Liberation- Finger Painting You are feeling frustrated with the political and religious environment of the time and you want to freely express yourself and reach a higher understanding of who you are and what you want. We need to have the freedom to do what we want so that we can “shed hypocrisy, dishonesty, and phoniness, and go back to the purity of our childhood values.” Therefore, you can participate in the classic childhood activity of finger painting. Express yourself and reach a new height of personal liberation.

Station D: Culture Clash You are feeling disenchanted with the “little boxes” of suburbia and you are looking for an alternative way of life. You also want to reject materialism and the conventional lifestyles of the 1950s. You want to find beauty in the natural world instead of the capitalist factory system that America has become. Feel free to use face paint with your friends to express your feelings of love and nature while talking about your feelings and your ideal utopic society.

Station E: Counterculture- Fashion Change You want to reject the conventions of modern fashion and feel the need to express yourself as an individual. Change something about your appearance (within the dress code ) to demonstrate your individualism.

Station F: Parents Just Don’t Understand- Lyrics The growing Generation Gap has forever changed the way you relate to your parents. They just don’t seem to get you man. They think you are sinful slackers who don’t care about their future. They criticize you for being spoiled little rich kids when they don’t realize that you are practicing communal living where you all work and live together. Little do they know is that you are trying to make a better future for everyone around the world. Write a song or poem to express your frustrations with the Generation Gap. Damn the Man! The Times They Are A Changin’ – Bob Dylan Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you Is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a- changin'. Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin' For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a- changin'. Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There's a battle outside And it is ragin' It'll soon shake your windows And rattle your walls For the times they are a- changin‘ Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin' Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a- changin'.

Guerilla War It’s Practically impossible to tell civilians from the Vietcong. Nobody wears uniforms They all talk the same language, (and you couldn’t understand them even if they didn’t). They tape grenades inside their clothes, and carry satchel charges in their market baskets. Even their women fight; and young boys, and girls, It’s practically impossible to tell civilians from the Vietcong; after a while, you quit trying. -W.D. Ehrhart

Guerilla Warfare Tunnels, bunkers, land mines, & booby traps Difficult Terrain & weather Viet cong strategy “cling to the enemy’s belt” Hit-and-run maneuvers
