...wallpaper in preparation for a trip to California with his girl friend. Some vans are fitted with primitive sinks and iceboxes; the 1969 Ford van owned by Ann Wasserman, 20, has a large table that used to be a tree stump. Ann's van also carries a cooler, a Coleman stove and lantern, and her boyfriend's motorcycle, which he rides ahead of the van on long trips. Other vans have kerosene lanterns, candles mounted on inner walls, and even potted plants. Charles Patton, 39, goes camping in a 1957 VW beetle that "some hippie kids" helped...

Although there are distressing signs of apathy among many students, a cooler activism is taking hold among those who reason that such problems as pollution and racial discrimination can be solved only by old-fashioned political pressure. Student concerns may be increasingly represented in state legislatures and court actions by Nader-like lobbies. The Minnesota Public Interest Research Group, for example, is financed by student fees at campuses across the state. It will go to work this fall with a full-time professional staff of ten to 15 lawyers and scientists-plus a budget...
