Four original 8.5 x 11" single-sided leaflets on various colors of paper by a student group calling itself The Pacifist Anarchist Bisexual Psychedelic Conspiracy which displayed a punky insouciance that was ten years ahead of its time. One titled "Fuck You Punk Freshmen" envisions the first-year students as the oppressed masses who get a talking-to from the group and advice to "smoke dope. gethigh.high." and "ORGASM." Another leaflet is dated in the then-future October 2001 and lists a bunch of abbreviations of radical groups at the time starting with S.D.S.
