What touches off the vicious vacation riots in resort
towns from coast to coast? What madness causes
the drunkenness open immorality violent battles
with police? What sudden mob impulse can moti-
vate a crowd of 30000 educated young men and
women into a rampage of destruction? Perhaps it's

self-expression. But why are so many college
students presumably the nation's most "adult"
and sophisticated young people involved? Why
do they knowingly risk their futures even their

true report on the spread of this insane activity . . .
the terrible price you may have to pay if you're
involved . . . and how you can help stop the insanity.
