HE HAD GROWN UP WANTG TO BE AN ARCHECT AND TEND TO STUDY ENVIRONMENTAL SIGN AT UC BERKELEY. HE HAD SET OFF TO REGISTER FOR CLASS THERE. EN ROUTE, AT A PARTY, HE MET A GIRL WHOSE FAY HAD BUILT A CLTER OF BETIFULLY NSTCTED TREEHO LA HONDA, CALIFORNIA. STATE TROOPERS AND RANGERS HAD JT EVICTED A GROUP OF HIPPI, HELL’S ANGELS, AND MEMBERS OF KEN KEY’S MERRY PRANKSTERS OM THE STCTUR.
