Legendary Austin underground newspaper, The Rag, part of the Underground Press Syndicate, was founded by a student group in 1966 including Jeff Shero, national vice president of the SDS and a spokesman for the Yippies, who also founded RAT Subterranean News upon relocation to New York. This issue follows up with the “Chuck Wagon Incident”, including updates on the detainees and announcing a benefit for their defense fund. Also includes an open letter to the governor of Texas, Preston Smith, event listings around Austin, an article on masturbation, and more.
