A Roommate For Stephens - Thursday, March 21, 1963

Ed psych got out at 9:00 tonight since we didn't have time out for a break. The pool was too hot for swimming and elementary phys ed had been called off so I didn't have any classes today. But for all my efforts trying to read psychology, I didn't get very far. And we have a test tomorrow. Guess I'm still too excited about making Stephens to concentrate on studying! Evelyn, the off-campus girl, is in my swimming class, and I think we'll try to room together. We seem to have quite a bit in common. She's lived on a farm, parents teach, and is majoring in elementary education. She's Margaret Brisch's sister.

Am Voted into Stephens Honor Dorm - Wednesday, March 20, 1963

This morning I found out that I am among nine of 29 eligible girls voted into Stephens [honor dorm] for my junior and senior years. They voted last night on the ones they wanted in: Sylvia DeFriend, Evelyn Gatton, Barbara Page, Margaret McElwain, Nancy Ayres, Kathy Gillespie, Liz Ralston, Karen Bentson and myself. The number was rather limited so it seems like even more of an honor. They're leaving several openings in case some of their previously accepted members like Merry Lee Dean and Lou Rogers come back. We had an LLC party in the Brig tonight. We had a lot of fun bowling and playing pool.

In Awe About Van Gogh Exhibit - Tuesday, March 19, 1963

Gee, if this were a school for nothing but activities, it would be fine, but since there seems to be homework, too, it makes it kind of bad. I have just finished my Stylus news. Mr. Sherwood will kill me (George said he's in a bad mood). I wanted to get it done this morning but news gathering took longer than I expected - Dr. Hauptmann loaned me a copy of the book he and Tuesday's German speaker both have articles in. The Van Gogh exhibition was fabulous. After being shown in Philadelphia, Detroit and Kansas City, it's going back to Holland. We had a WRA meeting tonight to elect all-stars.

Will Try Again to Solicit for WUS - Monday, March 18, 1963

I believe I will try once more at 10:00 tonight to see if we have any better luck with Hawley's WUS solicitation than we did last night. It was supposed to be turned in today, but I didn't have a chance till 4:00 and then when I called Rev. Seamans I couldn't get him. The LLCs beat the OACs 13-11 in volleyball, but they said it wouldn't count since neither of us had our full team there by the official forfeit time. I hope I did alright on the religion test. Really, there's no excuse that one could offer since we had a list of questions ahead of time. I typed what news I had tonight.

A Visit at All-Souls Unitarian Church - Sunday, March 17, 1963

Some of us went to the All-Souls Unitarian Church this morning on another religion field trip. It's a very modern building. There was a symbolic art tapestry at the front and other works of art around the church. Very intellectual atmosphere, including the sermon on "A Liberal Looks at Lent." Quite a contrast to a week ago today. The freshman LLCs got the upperclass LLCs up at 6:00 for a surprise breakfast in the Meetin' House. We had a lot of fun. Some of us decided to go as we were to breakfast in Commons. I "refused" at the last minute and bolted over the hedge (low) toward Hawley - Kathy and Dave soon hot on my tail. The LLCs beat the PCCs - after they had beat the ACCs!!!

15 Library Books for Religion Paper - Saturday, March 16, 1963

This was really a March day. The wind (but so warm) blew hard all day. I went to the library and got 15 books for my religion term paper. I'm glad there was such a good selection - my topic is "The Place of Religion in the Public Schools." Well, as usual I didn't accomplish much today. Dee, Bev and Margie are sitting here pooling their problems. Depression reigns. I'm getting concerned about the history test - rats, I'm not going to worry about it. Margie irks me - boys, boys, boys.

PCCs Presented Parchie Varsity - Friday, March 15, 1963

Parchie Varsity was good. The PCCs have lots of talent with all their music majors. The new student council members sponsored a party in the J.R. tonight. Gee, I guess it's about time I went to bed. I haven't had much sleep (nor have I hardly stopped to rest) for a week now. I wasn't overly fond of the history test. Gee, I wonder what I'll get?
