Have Told Seth it's Time to go Separate Ways - Wednesday, March 10, 1965

I didn't study at all tonight. Jim and Chuck took Evelyn and me to the health center to get TB skin tests since one of the foreign students has come down with it. Rosemary and I talked to _____ and told her the house council had decided to revoke her punishment since there was a lack of understanding about lounge hours. Then the dorm decided at a house meeting to set 2:30 AM as lounge closing time. I'm in the process of sending Seth on his separate way and me on mine with the exception of a few dinners and a dance this month.

Student Council Election Results were as Predicted - Tuesday, March 9, 1965

I almost find it hard to believe that the results of the student council election were exactly as I had predicted: Walt Black, president; Winnie Fleming, vice president; Terri Osuga, WJC chairman; and Bob Theis, MJC chairman. It was a close election, however. I'm glad I had at least something to do with Terri's and Winnie's running. I came back to the dorm at 10:00 after studying with Seth, and then Kathy and Carol, Randy and Bill, and Shelly Teale and her father wanted to go up to the observatory to see Mars at its closest point to Earth in fifteen years. I went, too - it had been cloudy earlier.

The Others Liked Paper on Soviet Education - Monday, March 8, 1965

The others in the class and Dr. Pai were pleased with my Soviet education paper. Luckily I had read enough to be able to talk intelligently on the subject. I typed rapidly most of the time from 4:00 to 1:15, skipping Family class and part of work to get it finished by class time. I got a D on the social psych test - rats! Too many activities, Seth, house council, etc., impinging on my time, I guess - have to rationalize. Seth went with me to the library after the student council meeting.

We Had Our Stephens Dinner Out at the Gold Buffet - Sunday, March 7, 1965

I'm up against time again - I'm approximately one-third done with my comparative education paper. I literally can't wait to have it done and over with. I'll have to get up at 4:00. We had our Stephens dinner at the Gold Buffet, leaving at 4:00 and getting back at 6:00. We had planned to go the Wishbone again but changed our minds for certain time and financial reasons. Seth went to chapel with me again. We had Dr. White, a Southern Baptist, as a guest minister. Seth and I had shakes in the J.R. for a half-hour study break.

Went to the Movie About Lt. Kennedy, PT 109 - Saturday, March 6, 1965

I had Seth bring me back early tonight so I could get some sleep. At this point I'm not yet worried about my comparative education paper which still hasn't begun to unfold. I read some for it this afternoon, but it was a noisy dorm with the freshmen getting ready for their house party tonight. It's going to be "fun" going to sleep to the sound of double base! Tonight we went to the movie featuring Kennedy as a navy lieutenant, PT 109. It was very interesting. Then we sat in the J.R. and talked about the Soviet concept of man and the world in years to come.

Vivien Served Lettuce, Chicken, Greens and Relish - Friday, March 5, 1965

Seth and I had a really nice time at Vivien and Charlie's tonight. Vivien had supper ready (on time!) and it was delicious - "wilted" lettuce, chicken cooked in wine, rice and mushroom sauce, greens with toasted almonds, and cranberry relish. We played Hearts. While the guys went out to get some Pepsi Viv told me Seth had been down to talk for two hours last night about being afraid he had lost me forever (help! - I wish he wouldn't be so serious). I thought I'd die laughing when he literally sat down in a gutter while carrying me across - there I was on his lap - perfectly dry - with a car going by! The social psych test wasn't too bad, I didn't think. I got up at 5:00 again.

Former Boyfriend Married, Boyfriend Walked Out - Thursday, March 4, 1965

Unfortunately for [a member of Stephens] I was in the hall studying this morning (I got up at 5:00) when she came in at 5:45 and confessed to being in the lounge all night with [her boyfriend]. The really uncanny thing is that I had a feeling she would come walking in this morning. The house council decided her lounge privileges should be taken away for a month. In another situation I acted cooly enough toward Seth that he "walked out" on me. I called him tonight and he sounded as if he was ready to cry. Nic Walker's wedding writeup was in the Journal.

Mr. McDaniel will be Our Class Marshall - Wednesday, March 3, 1965

We had a senior class meeting tonight at which we elected Mr. McDaniel as class marshall to lead the commencement procession. We had a WJC meeting tonight - a case involving four freshman girls whom we decided should not be punished but have "letters of advice" sent to them. So I've been typing up a storm. Not wanting to neglect Seth, I met him later and he showed me a card game in the J.R. I'm back to my old ways again - "activities" are gaining precedence.

Gave Psychology Talk on Reading Problems - Tuesday, March 2, 1965

I gave my talk on Source and Treatment of Reading Problems for developmental psych. I did alright but not as well as I might have. Dr. Richard De George from Kansas University lectured today on the Soviet Union for part of the Russian lecture series. Seth and I went to his 4:00 discussion. He asked a question on Soviet education "for me" and I asked one, too. It has been very cold on top of our second snow within a week. Seth and I got into a long discussion at the library tonight.

A Strict Jewish Background and Graduate School - Monday, March 1, 1965

Student council lasted till 8:30, then I hurried over to Herr House to talk with Terri Osuga about her WJC chairmanship campaign. Ironically enough, we have an upcoming WJC case, just before I go out of office. Then I met Seth in the J.R. and he went with me to the library while I, for the fourth time today, poured over periodicals about reading readiness. Dr. Pai, Mr. Carey and Mr. Chronister are in Chicago for a meeting. Seth gave me a little model of the Gemini space capsule. I can't figure out my special attraction - he says he could fall in love with me but is pointing out that he has graduate school and a strict Jewish background in the way. Amazing how alike we think.

Seth Rescued and Returned the Cottage's Cat Mullet - Sunday, February 28, 1965

I really can't believe that February has gone as fast as it has. The speed of time is really scary. Eight Sundays from today is commencement. Seth went to church with me. He hadn't gone to church yet this term so thinks he should be getting his attendance requirement fulfilled now. After dinner I heard a cat meowing in the woods. It was the cottage's cat, Mullet, lost five days. Seth rescued her, and after he returned her to the dorm, called me to thank me on behalf of the dorm. Coe made a good showing on College Bowl - we watched it in Hawley.

Had a Fabulous Time with Seth, Vivien and Charlie - Saturday, February 27, 1965

I had a fabulous time with Seth this evening when we doubled with Vivien and Charlie. We went to Mammy's in Riverside for a delicious steak dinner and then drove in to Kansas City to see Mondo Conde and Purple Noon. Mondo Conde is the one Nic recommended highly last summer, so I was glad to see it and liked it. Then we came back to Kelly's, the place that has begun to compete with Fritz's as a college hangout. Finally Vivien and Charlie went with us up to the observatory and looked at Mars.
