A jar of flowers on a popcorn machine, men and women wearing the same length hair, and peace medallions, a truckstop- you're in the Rock Chalk Cafe.
Known to most KU students as the "Chalk," the Rock Chalk Cafe has been a campus institution for more than 50 years.

Another patron calls it "home of the beautiful people."

"It's truly anti-establishment.

It's for real, it's here, it's now-
it's what's really happening," said one student when asked to describe the cafe.
One patron, who claims he spends enough money in the Rock Chalk to pay the salaries of several employees, summed up his feelings on the Chalk by saying, "My mother never told there'd be scenes like this."
