Sex on the Hill
By Clare McLellan Special to the Kansan
Lawrence contributed to the sexual revolution
David Awbrey, student body president of the University of Kansas during the 1969-70 school year, remembers the advent of the sexual revolution in Lawrence.
"The baby boomers were coming of age just when contraception was becoming more available, and for a brief moment, everything came together in a volatile mix," Awbrey said. "When I came to KU in 1966, it was very insular, and when I left it was all drugs, sex and rock 'n' roll."
But when many people think of the sexual revolution, images of bras burning beside draft cards and hippies swaying to the music at Woodstock come to mind — not people in small Kansas towns. So why was Lawrence unique?
In her new book, "Sex in the Heartland," Beth Bailey addresses the issues of the sexual revolution as they developed in a midwestern town, Lawrence. She shows in her book that KU students were very involved the events of the revolution. Perhaps students were not involved in as visible ways as radicals on the coasts. But if not for people such as those in Lawrence, what we now know as the sexual revolution would not have happened.
"I wanted to examine the way the sexual revolution changed people's daily lives and not just the usual suspects," Bailey said. "The revolution has many strands."
Bailey writes that many factors contributed to what came to be known as the sexual revolution, and most were not directly linked to free expressions of sex. The revolution was just the natural outgrowth of these elements coming together at the same time.
"All kinds of people from musicians to poets circulated through Lawrence, which made and still make it a much more vibrant place where things could and do happen." Bailey said.
She said she was not using Lawrence as an example of typical Kansas or midwestern town to but to show people that the revolution was more mainstream
"I wanted to examine the way the sexual revolution changed people's daily lives and not just the usual suspects. The revolution has many strands."

Awbrey also said that being on the interstate brought a lot of people to Lawrence, allowing a varied culture. He said the University drew a certain group of students today as it did 25 or even 75 years ago: Students that are willing to be involved in social issues.
"The type of students KU attracts are interested in humanities," he said. "They tend to be the brightest kids from the brightest high schools, and it's the same today as it was when I went here and when my mom went here in the '30s."
The legacies of the revolution that are inherent in society today often get taken for granted, especially by college students. Up until the late 1960s women still had curfews, homosexuality was viewed as an illness and non-married couples living together were unheard of.
It is important to understand how supervised lives were in the 1960s, Bailey said.
"Today, having sex is a personal choice, and no one is trying to make those decisions for you," she said.
"Prior to 1974, I could have been incarcerated because of my sexual orientation, so it's hard for me not to see the tangible effects," she said. "I feel I owe a lot to those who fought for equal

The revolution made it possible for gays to organize and lobby, which led to a lot of social changes, she said.

rights."
The birth control pill not only facilitated more sexual activity but was a sign of the women's liberation movement. Women who were not necessarily advocates of the sexual revolution fought for freer access to the pill because they wanted more control of their lives and their bodies, Bailey said in her book.
Tim Miller, professor of religious studies, said the revolution made a lot of things more publicly acceptable.
"Prior to the time of the revolution, if unmarried people were having sex, they were keeping it secret, and homosexuality up to the late 1960s was very humhush," he said. "The impact of the revolution is very substantial today."
Women today do not have to worry about ruining their reputation if they have sex, as they did in the early to mid 1960s, Bailey said. Unmarried couples can live together if they choose to do so, and they won't get kicked out of the University for it.
"The revolution made fundamental changes in the way people think," she said.
And we are facing the results today. Miller said.
"There was a great sense in the '60s of living in a time of change," he said. "And what happened in the '60s has never gone away."
