Packing Playboy centerfolds, a ton of naivete, and the need for a 2-S deferment...
Mahlon Haines Dickinger transfers to the rural Ohio campus in 1967 with his stack of jazz records and a 1.8 GPA. A cast of crazies assemble in Room 12 to debate everything from the war to the greasy hair look in a coming-of-age story that reflects the myths and realities while debunking the usual sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll stereotypes.
Racked with guilt for not serving in the military, Mahlon questions every protest that comes along - supporting a beloved prof, advancing civil rights - wondering if following his conscience is worth the risk.
In search of the perfect girl... and the next cold beer.
