Most members of the TIME staff consider themselves reasonably hip, but writing and reporting the hippie cover presented problems. One involved clothes. To put her subjects at ease during interviews. Researcher Katie Kelly decided to disguise herself as a hippie wearing, in various combinations, faded old Nebraska Levi's, a red minidress and an unwashed London Fog raincoat. Surveying Galahad's Pad in the East Village for color picture possibilities, Andrea Svedberg had her arms ornamented hippie style with Day-Glo paints. San Francisco Bureau Chief Judson Gooding was gauche enough to wear a suit...
...hippie do-gooders. Last week the sidewalks and doorways were filling with new arrivals-hippies and would-be hippies with suitcases and sleeping bags, just off the bus and looking for a place to "crash" (sleep). Wise hippies wrap themselves in scrapes against the San Francisco chill, or else wear old Army or Navy foul-weather jackets and sturdy boots.

But you notice those. "You don't realize how attached you are to this place," a Harvard junior explained, "until you see it being raped." A Cliffie commented, "During the winter you share Cambridge with 5000 of your won kind, so you don't feel terribly close...
...having joined the "competition for the bunnies"--as one put it--with relish. (Actually, the boys out-numbered the girls last year by more than 400.) Director Crooks, who views the scene with ironic humor from his seventh-floor office in Holyoke Center, remarks that "Some Harvard students wear those 'winter' buttons and keep to themselves, but some plunge right in and enjoy...
