Antioch is quite a microcosm located in conservative southwestern Ohio...I remember back in the late 60's/early 70's as a kid seeing all the "beatniks", hippies, license plates from NY...almost like being at a Grateful Dead concert. My only regret is not going there for one semester to test out there "step by step" courting system. The guys are supposed to ask the girls "yes or no" at each step of the mating process. Then again, most of the girls there don't shave their legs and armpits...I probably wouldn't have made it to the first question. Buccaneer 81: did you go to Xenia H.S.?

You have to hand it to Antioch for guts.

They remained determinedly Stalinist in the face of overwhelming pressure from the neo-Trotsky-ites.

They do have one good idea, though, and that is the co-op program, in which students actually work during their school years. If it weren't for that, none of them would ever bathe.

The kids there are a very rich group. They would have to be to go out in public looking as weird as they do. Bit out of chaos: opportunity. A peircing parlor, combined with a tattoo facility could make you big money in Yellow Springs.

But the worst thing these clymers have done to West Central Ohio is to infect the ordinary, town-dwelling youth, who work in factories and on farms, or go to HS and the local JC's with this inane Grunge-Commie-Hippie-'Culture.' These poor bastards can't afford it!
