A Peace Corps Woman was on Campus - Thursday, April 4, 1963

Ed psych class tonight. The final is next Thursday, last class Wednesday. Help! Gee, though, I bet even if I get an A on the final, I'll only get a B for the course - gosh, I wish I could completely ace it out - I really think it's possible!?! We had a WRA meeting this afternoon for constitutional changes and basketball all-stars. I was one of six up for forward. Carole DeMort made the team - that's great! A Peace Corps promoter was on campus today. She talked in both elementary phys ed and ed psych.

Started Political Science Paper - Wednesday, April 3, 1963

I got up at 6:00 - after a 5:00 attempt when I went back to bed - to start my poli sci paper and assign yearbook pictures for tonight and write out notices. I didn't get to either of Chad Walsh's lectures - they were Monday and today - or to his night ones for that matter. My year as a WRA representative ended on an interesting, if not typical note. My last two hard recruited players showed up too late to play the game, one minute after the OACs got all theirs there, but in time to save my face in the eyes of the other three LLCs, convince the others that the LLCs "will come through," and cause it to be a double forfeit. As Carolyn said, "I don't believe it!" Such is life.

Heard Dr. Chad Walsh's Discussion - Tuesday, April 2, 1963

Into everything again. Hope I don't flunk out, as little attention as I sometimes give my studies. This afternoon I went over to the J.R. so Kathy and Tom could give me a list of yearbook pictures to schedule. Carole was there, too. At 4:15 I had an interview with her and Mr. Larson. We had a WRA meeting at 5:30 but not many showed up. I spent "spare" time today writing Stylus news and typing WRA minutes. Tonight I read history at the library. Back at the dorm, I took out a half hour to listen to Dr. Chad Walsh's discussion at Mom's suggestion.

Have Finished 31 Page Religion Term Paper - Monday, April 1, 1963

I just finished my religion term paper - 31 pages this time. I'll have to get up early to take it over to Dr. Johnson's box. I can't figure out why the majority of kids think 15 pages is long! Guess I'll have to go in for book writing. Dr. Pivonka gave me some Stylus news on books and chemical gifts to the chemistry department, so I feel "successful" for my year's reporting. He sounded apologetic for not having had any news all year. Also, I was able to put Mr. Edwards' news and an article on "Thieves' Carnival" directly into the Stylus box from my box.

Six Went with Dr. Johnson to RLDS Church - Sunday, March 31, 1963

Six of us (Vicky, Dave, Gary, Danny, Nick and I) went with Dr. Johnson to Independence to the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We left at 7:15. After the service we were given a tour of the auditorium (assembly room seats 5,800) which is the headquarters for their biennial world conference. We saw the council room, seat of government for the world organization, museum, kitchen and living room. We also had a discussion with colored slides. The guide also gave us (free) $1.00 copies of the Book of Mormon and view folders. I've spent the rest of the day on my religion term paper.

Many Worked on Papers Due on Monday - Saturday, March 30, 1963

Well, my paper's coming, it's coming, it's coming! I have nine pages so far. Kathy Butler finally talked me into leaving it to go to the 9:00 show with her. It was Tony Curtis in "The Great Impostor." Phyllis or Virginia, maybe both, saw it two years ago in Des Moines at the state tournament. This was rather a quiet Saturday. Too many term papers are due on Monday. Gee, 15-week terms - I don't know. Dr. Hampl is going to Monmouth next year.

No Classes for "Spring at Park" - Friday, March 29, 1963

Classes were called off today for a stop day and "Spring at Park." It sure seemed like Saturday. Well, I didn't accomplish much on my paper but took in most of the festivities instead. This morning there was a student-faculty breakfast and then a student-faculty softball game (I did work on my paper during that time). This afternoon I went to the Nickel-Chestnut soccer game (they tied 1-1) with Carolyn Reed. Then we went bowling (Brig was open free) and Chris Hayward went along. We also went to the street dance tonight. From 5:00 to 6:00 I helped with Hawley's booth (ring toss and coin toss) at the carnival. I got a care package - cookies and candy.
