Talked With Dean Gibson and Dean Pai - Thursday, April 9, 1964

I've devoted so much time to algebra now and still can't do it, so I don't think it would pay to get up early. I'll just hand it in late to Gary since he's good about taking late homework. Nancy and I went over to Herr House at 11:00 to give Margie a party for her birthday, along with Beth, Roberta and Kathy. Judy Cox was in on it, too, but couldn't go. Evelyn said Fred was elected to Nickel. That does about the most of anything to make me reconsider whether it was a mistake to give him up - but I'm sure it's best. I must be after "prestige." I had a 45 minute talk with Dean Gibson and Dean Pai about WJC and then we talked about retaining Stephens.

Was Elected Stephens President for Next Year - Wednesday, April 8, 1964

In the election of Stephens officers tonight, I was elected president of the dorm for next year. It is a tremendous honor and responsibility, and I hope I will be a good president. The other officers are Rosemary Kellner, vice president; Babs Ford, secretary; Leslie Innes, treasurer; Jean Burright and Carol Sapilek, interdorm council. We also chose rooms we wanted in case we get to keep the dormitory - Evelyn and I chose Diane's. I went over to the algebra review tonight - I was the only one, so Gary helped me with tomorrow's homework. I know a little more about the car accident after receiving letters from Mom and Phyl.

Ten Women Accepted Stephens Membership - Tuesday, April 7, 1964

We had a fairly successful student council meeting tonight. I at least had my say this time, as I did Sunday night. If all goes according to council suggestion, we will have our two days of classes off at Thanksgiving next year. Our group in organization and administration is working to finish our proposals for our school district project. We juniors have been listening to all the seniors' experiences with oral comps. They sound sort of fun. Kathy Amayo, Sara Moore, Pat Thompson, Bev Reece, Carol Sapilek, Jean Burright, Leslie Innes, Nancy Rohlfing, Winnie Flemming, and Kathy Fitzpatrick accepted Stephens membership.

Gave Most of Report on Facing Mt Kenya - Monday, April 6, 1964

We had a WJC meeting this evening about another library case. Dean Gibson seems to be overstepping judicial council jurisdiction since she already has her mind made up that there will be a penalty in all five cases of having to work 12 hours at the library. An election of junior class officers was being held today. I shouldn't be like this, but I felt rather slighted not being a candidate for anything. I gave most of my oral report on Facing Mt Kenya today in geography class. I'll have to give my conclusion on Wednesday. I went to an algebra review session. We have another test tomorrow.

Voted in New Members of Stephens Tonight - Sunday, April 5, 1964

It's awful that I should be acting in ways more immature about the Stephens move than I did about the Hawley move. We voted in new members tonight but I haven't heard the results yet. I think a combination of factors have been acting to make me jumpy. My pent-up steam needs an escape valve. I went to the choir concert this afternoon. After all our efforts, Mr. Larson forgot to have them stay for yearbook pictures. (Just got back from Karen's phone call about the matter.) I went to Sunday evening forum - a man from India on a march for peace spoke. We had a student council meeting with the new goon squad. Stephens served Woodward the breakfast they bought at the WUS auction - pancakes in the Meetin' House.

Fred Was at a Herr House Party - Saturday, April 4, 1964

I went with Judy and Bonnie to the play "Picnic" tonight. It was okay, but I've seen better plays at Park College. I've seen the movie so was familiar with the story. Then I went to the party at Herr House and had a good time with some of the freshman boys. Fred was there having a good time with Kathy Olson. He's still been smoking a lot. This was a cold rainy day. I made several attempts at homework but didn't accomplish much. Nancy and I took a walk through Parkville in the rain this afternoon. The Parkville librarian let me have the copy of the paper with the student council picture in it.

Saw the President About Staying in Stephens - Friday, April 3, 1964

Diane, Karen, Barb, Liz, Terry, Rosemary, Evelyn and I went in to talk to the president this afternoon. He's almost sure we'll have to move out of Stephens next year. It's all because this college has been taking in all these male students from eastern college admissions centers. Some of us have been through having to leave a dorm once before. We've now decided that since our number will be reduced next year anyway, we'd like to live in "His House." John Garrett was dismissed from the health center while I was working. No one came to see the doctor.
