We will remember • • • Come on! We ' re going on a picnic! But, I ' ve got a test Monday, a guilty conscience moans. Who hasn ' t? Books are dropped, picnic garb — jeans and I. U. Sweatshirt — slid into, a blanket and uke grabbed. They ' re on their way! The call of the turning leaves and placid lakes has won again. Expectation and excitement run high as strains of Indiana, Our Indiana and Hail to Old I. U. bounce from the ivindoiv of the car to mix with the rushing winds. Broken hearts and emotional crises are buried and forgotten for the time as the blankets are spread out, the ukes tuned, the cokes and other beverages dumped down. Talking is at a maximum, intelligent conversa- tion at a minimum. Wits and half-wits compete with each other for the center of attention. Food is chomped quickly in order to keep pace with one ' s contempo- raries. A uke combo is formed. The ballads, at first spirited, grow quieter as the afternoon shadows creep over the group. Each in turn falls silent, conversation dies out. The lazy sun of autumn trickles through the blazing leaves overhead . . . And then it ' s time to go back. Blankets and ukes are gathered up, personal belongings collected. Thought yields to action again, temporarily. Students walk back in a group, yet each has his ow n thoughts. The riddles of life aren ' t solved, but they don ' t seem so difficult any more. Through relaxation, things have fallen into a new and clear perspective. Confidence is restored and peace is found . . . until . . . Picnicking in Brown County
Homecoming festivities Sports — the activity where college students in one accord release pent-up emotions and drive themselves to hysterical frenzy screaming for the team to win. Streaming from all directions and packing themselves tightly together on straight, Jwrd boards in all kinds of weather, they come to see two teams clash in ath- letics. Game time is one time when studies are forgot- ten and the uncertain future doesn ' t matter. With championship material from Indiana playing the other Big Ten squads, the most important thing is to win the game — the other things slip into the back of minds for a while. The Homecoming queen, the decorations at the housing units, the Old Oaken Bucket, the Fire- bell, the trip to NCAA contests, track, wrestling and the baseball diamond are all a part of the sports of college. They are the recreations which bring together the student body as one unit to cheer for the team and relax at the same time.
