Communes in U.S. still around, lecturer says
By Jennifer Metz Kansan staff writer
Communes are alive and well in many forms in the United States; said Peter Douthit, a guest lecturer taking part in a series of four lectures yesterday and today.
The lecture series, presented by the department of religious studies, covered a broad scope of communal
life from the 19th century to the present, said Tim Miller, coordinator for the program.
This was the first time a series of lectures has been organized in this type of program. Miller said.
"A lot of students are unaware of alternative types of communities," said Susan Matarese, a guest lecturer for the series and professor from the University of Louisville.
"Many students are attracted to the richness of communitarianism."
She said the United States had been the site of so many communal sites because it was a place to start over again. The newness, the wilderness, and the unsettled land was appealing to commune members, Matarese said.
She will present a lecture at 11:30 a.m. today in 100 Smith Hall entitled
Douthit provided a tour of communal living in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado from 1964 to 2007 through a slide lecture yesterday.
In that lecture, Douthit said communal life was possible in the 1960s because the baby boomers came of age. He said many people had more
leisure time during those years. The civil rights movement radicalized counterculture, he said.
Douthit, who lived in several communes, said one particular commune where he lived was called Drop City in southern Colorado. Members were called droppers instead of hippies, and they lived in dome-shaped homes partially built out of recycled car tops.
"The waste in this country is just
Douthist said many other communities were formed after Drop City.
appalling." he said.
"We were very much into psychicchelic drugs," he said. "Chemists were always bringing drugs to us to be tested."
