No One Else Was There For Vespers - Wednesday, November 14, 1962

I went to the band concert in Alumni tonight. I had also gone to vespers but since I was the only one who bothered to do so besides Rev. Seamans and those in charge, they decided not to have it. They had played the prelude and then when I left they played the postlude, so that was nice of them. The religious situation on this campus is really sad. I have to practice modern dance with Kathy and Donna at 12:00 in the lounge. I hear a far off train whistle. A week from now it could be my train whistling toward Fairfield. I proofread before speedball (we lost to the LECs) and again after supper.

Rat Race Could Be Solved By Praying - Tuesday, November 13, 1962

It's really marvelous having opportunities like hearing Dr. Albright, the world famous archaeologist give three lectures in two days. I don't think I could do the man justice in a Stylus article. I talked to Dr. Patton and he suggested writing impressions but by the time I - - anyway I was past the deadline and Carol said not to worry about skipping it. We had a good article about him last week and still have news on hand, so - . Schwartzes sent me cookies. We lost to the PCCs in speedball. Everything seems to be one constant rat race. I can't locate the problem. Except that I don't pray. And I must.

Dr. Albright, Palestinian Scholar is Here - Monday, November 12, 1962

Dr. William Albright, noted Palestinian scholar and Danforth lecturer, is on campus and spoke in Alumni on "Abraham in the Light of Archaeology." It was interesting. I hope to get a Stylus article on him. He has assembly tomorrow and another lecture tomorrow night. I went to IRC this afternoon. Nancy and Bev talked me in to going on my way back from trying to get Stylus news (wasn't wholly successful). I am pondering.

At Open House Our Old Room Was Nice - Sunday, November 11, 1962

Herr House open house was tonight. Going through and seeing the rooms didn't make me as homesick as I thought it might. Karen had our room fixed up real, real nice. I wonder if she did it for Margie's and my sake since she knew how we hated giving up our room. I went to chapel tonight. There were only 21 in the congregation. It's really sad. Some things about this college I don't like. I doubt if any other college would be any better and Park has so many good points. E-gads, another weekend gone. I've still got all the homework I've ever had.

The Kingston Trio Was at the Music Hall - Saturday, November 10, 1962

I have just seen The Kingston Trio in person! Some of the LLCs and other kids went in to the music hall tonight to hear them and another woman singer who was first on the program. The Trio was great: "The Man Who Never Returned," "Go Tell it on the Mountain," "Where Have All the Flowers Gone," "Oh When the Saints" and others. We played the OACs in speedball. This was one of our "off" days and we lost 13-0. But the new rules allow two points for each score. The game was late starting so that took care of the afternoon. After French class Dr. Hampl gave me some information for the Stylus. She said if she decided I should go to France with her next year she'd let me know!?!

An A on Psych Paper - Friday, November 9, 1962

Tonight I went to the 6:30 show with Bev. It was "The Light in the Piazza." Now I'm ready to study French since we have to go to class tomorrow rather than today. I got an A on my psych paper. I'm so glad. I really have a cold hearted roommate. Mom said last summer not to let her bother me. I don't but I think I could live with anything after this child! I'm awful saying this. It makes me look weak for having decided to live with her. Dr. Patton says to learn how to get the most out of what you have. He says some humor is important - that reminds me - Becky once shut a chicken in the door of the coop by its neck!

We Are Let into Mackay This Morning - Thursday, November 8, 1962

History has required a lot of time tonight. Dave Kennedy and I waded through part of it tonight in the library and finally both came to the conclusion that we weren't getting much out of it. I got up at 6:15 and went over to Mackay with my religion paper at 6:30. Sure enough, Mackay was locked. I just came back from trying the two west doors when Karen Benson came along with her religion paper, so we sat down for someone to come and unlock the door. Carlyn showed up, too, just before the custodians came and unlocked the door. Always something different at college! The LLCs lost to the ACCs.
