Abstract

The article presents information on the underground press. The underground press has become a kind of suburban press all its own-- a suburban press for the hippie and dropout set. The three basic commodities in today's underground newspaper-- the advertising, the calendar of events and the artistic and political commentary-- all have a parallel in the suburban press. Because the mores of the two audiences are different, the content of the advertisements, the calendars and the commentaries is different too; in the underground papers, the ads are vulgar, the calendars refer to love-ins rather than Little League and the commentaries are critical and left wing rather than laudatory and conservative.
