Readers react to Ann Landers advice on an open-dorm policy for college women. The college group found the suggestion absurd and laughed it off during lunch, turning the moment into a humorous exchange.
In a May 16 1966 Decatur Daily page eight column a reader asks about abortion and dorm policies prompting Ann Landers to respond. The exchange includes student views on open dorms and sexual freedom and cautions against blanket judgments about abortion and male sterility. The discussion features letters from college-aged readers and reflects 1960s campus norms and debates.
A mix of brief items and quips including tips on car security, marriage advice, sex, illiteracy figures, heart energy facts, buffalo population, dust on bulbs, janitorial history, and trivia about presidents buried in Washington. Notable lines reference Oak Park letters, a Hollywood invitation, and Gertrude Stein’s Sacramento remark.
A newspaper notice invites readers to obtain Ann Landers booklets by sending 20c and a stamped self addressed envelope. The column offers personal problem help and directs requests to be sent to her in care of the paper.
