It was a little before 3 p.m. and the Trail Room in the Kansas Union did not look any different from any other day.
Some students were playing bridge; others were drinking coffee and holding cigarettes in their hands. There they were, the same old "habitutes" of the Hawk's Nest, the woman with the blond, straight hair and her clean, shaved companion. The man with the long beard and his long-haired, slender partner.
IT WAS A COMMON sight to students. Yet, there was a floating atmosphere of camaraderie. As the Campanile struck three times, a woman stood up and invited the group to join the third Hyde Park Forum.
A man stood up, lighted his cigar and asked, "What would you all like to hear, anyway?" No answers. He sat on a table,
smoked his Havana, stood up again and addressed the audience.
"Shall we discuss the war in Viet Nam? No, that's too common. You know," he said, "I have been a graduate student for a long time, and yet it has always puzzled me, and the closing hours situation." He then sat down for the third time, looked around, put on his scarf and left.
THE MICROPHONE on the improvised stand looked more bare than usual. No one seemed to need its help. Individual conversations were being carried at every table. Two men were ardently discussing the Front of National Liberation. At the next table men and women argued the advantages and disadvantages of sex education for fifth grade students. At another table a freshman woman was vehemently trying to convince her beau of the advantages of the four-point grading system.

"I HAVE BEEN at the last Hyde Park forums and have not seen any girl talk. With all this liberating movement going at KU, I think women should let us know why and what they stand for."
