Abstract
The tragedy of the Beat Generation is that it was misunderstood, and the media perpetuated this misunderstanding, either out of ignorance or on purpose. The media, in trying to explain what the Beats were about, got it wrong and promoted a simplified, inaccurate stereotype that obscured their philosophy and minimized their contributions to literature and culture. The Beats identified with the hipsters of that time, but were transformed into cartoon characters called beatniks which became a juvenile fad that was not taken seriously.

Description
Michigan State University/Army Specialized Training Program (MSU ASTP) - WWII Drawings.
Pencil cartoon drawing of two men doing carpentry with a big pot belly stove in the background. Caption reads, "Mr. Grout & I at work -- I am acting as ballast to keep plank from moving."
Maurice explained that while he was waiting to be drafted he finished two years in college. During that time someone told him the Coast Guard was hiring civilians to work at their stations and had hired a retired cabinet maker to contribute to the war effort. The first task was to make a waterproof water trough from 2" x 8" planks. Maurice was hired to be his temporary assistant. Some of those planks were warped so Maurice was to him sit on them to flatten it out. When the coast guard found out that was all the cabinet maker would let him do; they gave him a job as a painter.
