Peace symbol proves popular with all types
Fashion has accepted the peace symbol, if not what it represents.
At first the trademark of the love generation, the symbol now is worn by Greeks, teeny-boppers, instructors and other straight persons.
Jennifer Russell, Lawrence one of the co-owners of Strawberry Fields, displays several styles of peace medallions, which seem to be popular in this area.
Symbolic of Peace
Local hippie-supply shops have trouble keeping peace medallions in stock. Shopowners and hippies welcome the new popularity of the peace sign but complain that many who wear it don't know what the symbol stands for.
It also appears on purses, shoes, plastic buttons, belts and notebook covers, posters and restroom walls.
The symbol, usually worn as a metal medallion, is a circle enclosing an inverted "Y" and hangs from the neck by a chain or leather thong.
Kay Hughes, Kansas City, Mo., said that her shop, The Sandalwood, 1235 Oread Ave., has sold more than 1,000 medallions in the year and a half since it opened. There are only twelve left in the store right now, she said.
Miss Hughes said that the "long-haired don't buy them as much as the average-looking straight person. They (the long-haired) don't have the money."
"We've run out of them from time to time," said Mrs. Eleanor Womack, 1817 Louisiana, of the Campus Mad House.

Everyone wears them, said Mrs. Womack. "Some of those who wear the symbol have long hair, others look like they ought to be athletes," she said.
Marijuana use okayed by CYR committee
The Collegiate Young Republicans (CYR), working as a committee of the whole, last night approved a resolution to legalize the sale and use of marijuana.
CYR also approved resolutions for ending capital punishment and the draft, a state referendum concerning liquor by the drink, lowering the voting age and withdrawal of troops from Vietnam if the South Vietnamese government refuses to participate in peace talks.
The resolutions will be voted on for final approval at a later CYR meeting. If passed the proposals will be sent to a statewide CYR meeting this year.
