~ About: A 1961-65 Park College Diary ~ As a high school girl and then a college coed in the first half of the 1960s, I wrote nightly entries on the pages of one-year diaries. In January 2010 I began transcribing the entries into a blog and gave each one a title. I grew up on three farms within 30 miles of Iowa City and the University of Iowa with its Iowa Writers' Workshop. As the oldest of four daughters, in my diaries I sometimes referred to my sisters as "the kids" or "the girls." We helped our parents, but we also had good, wholesome fun - a characteristic I took with me to Park. Park is 300 miles southwest of West Chester, Iowa, in Parkville, Missouri, on the Missouri River 10 miles northwest of Kansas City, Missouri, and across the river from Kansas City, Kansas. In 2000 Park College became Park University. Today Park's flagship campus is in Parkville and there are an additional 41 campus centers across the nation. Park was one of the first educational institutions in the United States to offer online learning. My last post was on May 22, 2018. I may be followed on Twitter @BarbaraMcDWhitt.

Was Asked About Being Stylus Editor - Monday, February 18, 1963

Oh dear, when I think of everything I have to have done by two months from tomorrow, I shudder. I guess we're just exactly halfway in between Christmas vacation and summer vacation. My roommate is being given "the treatment" while she takes her bath. Hope I can get a shower taken unobtrusively. Stylus news was as usual. I was talking to Dr. Hamilton and Dr. Radloff about the Stylus. Dr. Radloff asked me, "Why don't you take over as editor next year?" Maybe I will!!
