Fourteenth Circle reopens, i hits finclnciol sncig midyeor Reopening enthusiastically for its second season of busi- ness the Fourteenth Circle, Hamline's coffee house, ran into financial snags midyear and was forced to liquidate. Under the guidance 'of managers, Eric Drucker and Mike Andrews, Hamline students were treated to performing groups in fall term, as well as special appearance groups. The Pozo Seco Singers visited after their concert in Norton Field House and later in fall the Danish Gym Team stopped in to see the evening entertainment. During winter term the coffee house was reorganized to establish a semi-coop, reducing prices on everything from food to memberships. Students helped themselves to food and were responsible for recording charges. This was an attempt to get more members interested in the Fourteenth Circle and to help a bad financial situation. Manager Eric Drucker commented that the coffee house's N original purpose was to fill an activity void on campus. He felt that other groups had made significant contributions in providing activities this year and that the need for the coffee house was not felt. A liquidating sale was held on April 25 and everything from ironing boards to paper napkins was auctioned as the Fourteenth Circle became a memory. Eric Drucker, auctioneer and coffee house manager, calls for bids on paper towels at the liquidating sale on April 25. Ernie Rose, Bill Snyder, and Steve Clark perform folk songs for a coffee House audience during fall term. ii . aa . sss ,,.. W .i-: . fxiiff-izzsa-aa i .. 1 my . r li- '

A rose is a rose is a rose. Marge and Roger Sargent enjoy their Saga plastic flower along with lunch time pizza Three new houses increase total campus living space Although this year's freshman class of 336 was smaller than last year's class, campus housing was again crowded because of the greater retention of upperclassmen and a larger number of transfer students. Due to the need for more living space, three new freshman houses were opened raising the total number of houses to 21. King House, 797 Pascal, became a girls' freshman house, while Osborn and Beyer, at 1495 Taylor and 1470 Englewood respectively, were opened for frosh men. The student body of 1244 was the biggest in Hamline's his- tory. Nearly one-third of the students lived off campus, 580 occupied the three dorms, and 200 lived in campus houses. Three young married couples served for their first year as head residents in each of the dormitories. In their capacity as head residents, Bob- and Judy Toensing fManorj, Ed and Carol Myers QSorinj, and Wendell and Kay Vandersluis CDrewj, supervised the dorms and worked with the student counselors. The food showed marked improvement in quality and variety with the addition of Saga Food Service. Complete salad tables, limitless seconds, special holiday dinners, and the re- decoration of Drew Dining Hall were all part of Saga's pro- gram for improving the atmosphere of dorm eating.

Record number participate despite rainy Parents' Day Parents turned out in record numbers on October 14 for their special day at Hamline. There were 750 parents and guests registered, with 13 states represented including such distant points as Florida, Massachusetts, Louisiana, and Wyom- ing. This year a new dimension was added to the program- Hamline Beyond the Campus. Two sessions were held in the Ballroom to inform parents on wider educational possibilities. A session dealing with Hamline students abroad included dis- cussions such as last year's choir tour and the junior Year Abroad program. Exchange programs with southern and eastern schools were the topics of consideration by the other group. Also included in the day's activities were visits to classrooms, discussions with the faculty, luncheon, and a football game. At the general session in the morning, parents were welcomed by Congress President Dick Mittleman, followed with a greet- ing by President Paul H. Giddens, and selections by Concert Band and A Capella Choir. Though the day was wet and dreary, stands were filled as the Pipers played the UMD Bulldogs. Both teams battled, but penalties slowed the Hamline game as they came out on the bottom of a 22 to 15 score.
