The youths who wander from one tolerant university town to the next are "street people," who bear a superficial resemblance to the hippies of the late '60s. Yet unlike the flower children (of whom only a few remain), the new group of itinerant youths have not rejected the Establishment out of ideological beliefs.

Stewardesses and stewards, who walk and talk like real people, wear ultra-violet Flash Gordon-type outfits and berets with the black and white Freelandia insignia of an open hand.
