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!!

Heard Folk Singers Addiss and Crofut - Sunday, February 17, 1963

I'm getting drowsy. I guess maybe if I can finish getting history read, I'll go to bed. The jazz concert was pretty good. Addiss and Crofut, two folk singers on the program, have performed for Adlai Stevenson and U.N. delegates. They had a cute song built around the theme, "On the first day we met, Mr. Kruschev said to me..." Jim was playing basketball so was late and then he had forgotten the tickets, but we finally got there on time to get the last two good seats in the house. After that it would have been the front row, the back row or the steps. Grandma sent me a Valentine care package of cookies yesterday.

Basketball at University of Kansas City - Saturday, February 16, 1963

Some of us went with the basketball team to the University of Kansas City tonight. We lost by about 20 points. Cheryl Wiley and I went with Hal Henderson, Jim Peeke and Will Stewart. Another time that one element probably would have put me on Cloud 9, but not tonight for some reason. I don't think it's just because I may finally have other interests, but I think I may have outlived my crush on Jim Peeke. Jim Trett came down to the gym this morning to watch me play Leslie in badminton (I lost). He and I and Margie and John Olson played for an hour after lunch. I typed elementary games this afternoon.

Dr. Urban's Annual "Cross of Gold" Speech - Friday, February 15, 1963

The religion test was rather easy. I'm anxious to see how I did on it. Dr. Urban gave his interpretation of William Jennings Bryan's "Cross of Gold" speech. I guess he does it every year. It was a riot. "You shall not press down the crown of thorns upon the brow of labor or crucify mankind upon a cross of gold!" I washed my hair and slept this afternoon. I had a nice time with Jim tonight. He's a swell guy. I'd better get to bed. I have a badminton match at 8:30.

Party to Raise Money for March of Dimes - Thursday, February 14, 1963

Tonight from 12:00 to 2:00 in the J. R. we had an all school party that just developed during the evening after some kids heard on the radio that a Kansas City disc jockey was organizing a hike for the March of Dimes and planned to go to the Parkville fire station. Copley got in touch with them and arranged for them to come to the college. We donated a "shoe box full" of money. I spent the evening with Jim and he asked me to "The Interns" tomorrow night! I have a religion test in the morning. Guess I won't get much sleep tonight if I get up at 6:00 to finish studying.

Journal Item About Being Queen - Wednesday, February 13, 1963

We had to have ed psych on Wednesday night this week. After all our preparation, they didn't get around to Carolyn and me since we still had last week's lesson to do. I could use more time to get mine ready anyway. I ate both breakfast and supper with Jim Trett (there are too many Jims). Both times it sort of just happened that way. I proof read this afternoon. Mom sent a nice write-up about my being queen that was on Friday's Journal front page. I guess they knew about it before I did! We had a history quiz. I got a B+ to C-.

A Chopin Concert by Wiktor Labunski - Tuesday, February 12, 1963

This noisy dorm makes me edgy! I wonder if I'll have enough patience to teach school? Wiktor Labunski from the University of Kansas City played a Chopin concert in Alumni tonight. I could have listened to him all night. He's famous all over America and Europe. I get to hear another famous musician Sunday night - Jim Trett asked me to the Stan Getz jazz and bossa nova concert. Carolyn was back tonight to go over psychology. It's so fun playing those games in physical education in elementary schools. Every dorm on campus was hit with some bug - most likely Commons food - last night and this morning. I was one of the "victims."
