Item description from seller

Tabloid printed on newsprint measuring 11.5 x 15 inches. Pp. 24 including covers. Cover wrap and center spread printed in color. Some age-toning to edges, some torn edges, otherwise a fresh copy. An issue of the Seattle alternative rag with several articles on tensions between hippies and others in Seattle's University District, highlighting the history of these conflicts and ongoing negotiations to alleviate them. Rear cover features an ad for the Sky River Rock Festival and Lighter Than Air Fair. In late spring 1967, Helix joined a burgeoning underground press then including groundbreaking alternative papers the East Village Other, the Los Angeles Free Press, the Fifth Estate and the Berkeley Barb. Founded by Paul Sawyer, Paul Dorpat and Lorenzo Milam, it sprang from their intellectual fervor at the Free University, an alternative thinktank they also founded. Eventually star-illustrator Walt Crowley assumed editorship. A pebble in the shoe of Seattle establishment, the "hip rag" brought attention to civic injustice by rallying its youthful readership to activism. The apogee of that effort followed the 1970 killing of students at Kent State: over the course of May 5-8, Helix organized protests that blocked US Interstate 5 while marching between the University District and rallies at the Federal Courthouse in downtown Seattle. Housed in a removable, clear sleeve with an acid-free backing.
