A Dozen Red Roses - Monday, October 7, 1963

The test wasn't too bad, but I probably did about the worst of anybody. Nancy and I went to Bob Young's campaign party in the Brig tonight. We bowled with Tom, Ben and Paul while George set pins. However, we didn't have time to finish our game. We had a house meeting tonight. After supper there was an LLC float committee meeting, followed by Nancy and me going up to visit Margie. She has strep throat. We have been having beautiful fall weather, an Indian summer so far. It has only rained about an hour since we got back this fall. This was Vivien's birthday. Charlie got her a dozen red roses.

World Wide Communion Sunday - Sunday, October 6, 1963

I got up in time to go to church. This was World Wide Communion Sunday. Dr. Patton and Dr. Schurr conducted it somewhat differently by having us go up to the altar in groups of 18. I've been studying phys psych. I detest taking the test tomorrow. I just don't feel like studying. Fred Wohlfert probably thinks I don't stand a chance - he was with me in the library tonight. Evelyn, Nancy, Tom and I ate our sack lunches up by the observatory. Tom and Nancy climbed up to the second level via the roof to try to get in but didn't succeed.

The Edge of the Great Plains - Saturday, October 5, 1963

The delegation to the Park-Tabor soccer game at Hillsboro, Kansas returned at 2:30 this morning. We had a ball. We left at 1:00 and got to Hillsboro at 5:00. We went on a school bus (memories), by turnpike to Emporia, and then west across rural Kansas to the edge of the Great Plains. At the last turn-off we were 37 miles from El Dorado. We had a "Commons" lunch in the town park, but some of us supplemented by going to a cafe. The game was thrilling, a 3-3 tie after three 5-minute overtimes. We stopped in Emporia for snacks at the restaurant where the team stopped for dinner. It was a high school type thing on the college level.  

Sent Dave His Yearbook - Friday, October 4, 1963

I stayed up till 2:00 working on my paper, got up at 7:00 and went to breakfast and came back and finished it by 10:30. I finally got around to sending Dave Kennedy his yearbook. It had been returned for lack of correct address, although it had been forwarded to a box number in Fairfield. Hope the "D Street (510)" address John Sojay had reaches him. Margie is in the health center with swollen glands. She was fine when she and Nancy went to Kansas City this afternoon. Nancy got some slide film and flash bulbs for me. She walked up to see Margie when I went to work tonight.

A Paper on "Jung on Freud" - Thursday, October 3, 1963

I guess I still haven't learned not to wait until the last minute to do a paper. I was lucky to get hold of the library's copy of the "Atlantic Monthly" long enough to take notes on most of the material I wanted, then finished with the copy one of the military men got for Judy Cox. Now to evaluate it. I think I may stay up and get it finished tonight since I don't have a class till 11:00 and could sleep late. Nancy served cake to Judy, Margie and me in Margie's room tonight. I wasn't in the dorm from 8:30 this morning till 5:00, and then only till 5:30. After supper we had a float committee meeting, then back to "Jung on Freud." Nancy and I will be sharing the dining room. She's typing a poli sci reading report.

A Judicial Council Matter - Wednesday, October 2, 1963

Days go by so fast I'm not getting anything done. This is ridiculous. We had a combined men's and women's judicial council meeting tonight over _____'s protest that the P.R. [Proportional Representative] election was unfair because ______ told voters to vote for ______ while he was at the polls. We voted the election invalid. The student council will have to decide whether or not to have a re-election. I finished typing the health center reports this morning and took them up to Mrs. Flaherty after lunch. It was an hour before I got away.

Pay Day Was Today - Tuesday, October 1, 1963

Pay day was today. I'm still trying to decide how to account for the $62.32 they credited me with. Even with helping with registration, and ninety cents an hour at the health center and $1.00 for the yearbook, I shouldn't have gotten that much I don't think. This was a nice warm first day of October. Gee, the first of October. It doesn't seem possible. Mrs. Flaherty gave me the end of the month health center records to type.
