French Club, Foreign Students go to Art Gallery - Sunday, October 7, 1962

This afternoon some of the French club members and foreign students went to the Nelson Art Gallery to see the French movie, "La Symphonie Pastorale." Some of them stayed to tour the French collection, but Fred, Nancy, Art, Frank and I came on back to campus. Barb Page went in with us. We got there a little late because of all the time we spent driving around Kansas City (we about got caught up in a parade) but at least I got to see some more of Kansas City. The day was beautiful and we had a ball. I went to church with one of the freshman girls.

Terry and Nancy Move to Hawley - Saturday, October 6, 1962

I slept till 11:00 this morning. I had no idea it was that late when I got up. The Hawley situation had a new skirmish today. Terry ended up moving in with a freshman, Nancy came up to 308 instead of moving to 202 with Terry, and Barb and Gloria aren't coming over. It was because of them that Margie and I decided to "volunteer," I think. Oh well, I imagine in the end things will have worked out for the best. I went down to Parkville this afternoon and got some flash batteries so was able to take a picture of our room. I wish I could have gotten a picture of my "study corner" in Herr House. This evening some of us went to "Battle Cry."

LLC Dinner and Party Were Successful - Friday, October 5, 1962

Our LLC dinner and party tonight turned out marvelously. Our menu was good, the decorations very nice, in short everything was everything we could have wanted. Our new president, Bob Lastic, said "You haven't seen the half of it," - we may be getting quite a few new members and really going places. There was also a student union party in Commons tonight with lovely decorations and music. Glad another week is over - weekends are good to catch up in.

An A on Our Modern Dance Interpretation - Thursday, October 4, 1962

Chris is up here looking at my scrapbook. Margie cut my hair this evening. We had our LLC serenade tonight. I guess we sounded pretty good. I went to the library from 8:00 to 10:00 to read the Constitution. The 22nd Amendment wasn't in - surely the book's not that old! Leslie, Sarah and I got an A on our modern dance interpretation of "Trees in a Storm." Just one other group got an A. She said as she had looked around beforehand, ours looked the best. She said that about my group once before, too! After all my work, my art exhibit article wasn't in the Stylus. I again had the "main" article - the African series.

Elected Treasurer of WRA - Wednesday, October 3, 1962

All up and down the hall I hear kids reading their western heritage papers to each other. These kids really have a "challenge curriculum." But I think I do, too! At the WRA meeting this afternoon I was elected treasurer, Kathy, vice president, and Cheryl Wiley, president. Judy Percival is secretary as part of her gym job. The religion test wasn't too bad except I didn't know enough about David. Neither did anyone else I've talked to though. After our LLC meeting tonight I went down to read proof but the print shop was locked. I couldn't find Carol either. So I came back and helped make rush favors.

Mr. Campanella Liked My Articles - Tuesday, October 2, 1962

Another long, hard day is over - I should still do a little more religion reviewing and finish reading my history. I hope I can get 20 freshman invitations for the Lowell-Lucerne dinner done by tomorrow noon. I was going to do 40, but Margie is doing half of them. I got  a C to C+ on my history test! Gee, was I glad! I finished up my "African series" news article just before my 5:00 deadline and took it over to Carol. Mr. Campanella liked the two art articles - my style, etc.

Mr. Campanella Will Check Art Articles - Monday, October 1, 1962

It's nearly bedtime and I haven't done a bit of studying. I wrote up four news articles (two of them required little or no thought), will have to have Mr. Campanella check the two art ones and do one on the African series tomorrow. We had an LLC meeting. Marvin and Roger want to resign as president and vice president of the Lowells. What next! Two of the freshman girls and I practiced our modern dance in the lounge tonight. We decided to be "trees." Scrap, scrap, scrap! Grr! I'm fine but I wish I were better. It wouldn't be hard to let my nerves go to pot in this small room.
