1961-1962 ... an orange class card ... a foot- ball game ... a dance ... a grade- report ... a repeat second semester — and then, tassels proudly swaying in the breeze tacked on a mortar board. A year ' s history . . . history of a midwestern university so like other institutions of its size, yet so different in the story it has to tell. T T 7 ATER, two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen ... it trickled green as 1 1 someone celebrated St. Patrick ' s Day at the expense of the Jordan River ... it gushed from fire hoses in the Auditorium as the curtains caught fire ... it gurgled from dolphins as a man-made Venus came to life in the center of culture . . . and it splashed as the swimming team added victory after victory to its ever-expanding collection. X Y OMPETITION, an age-old gleam directing eyes toward a world of ■ unfought wars and peaceless arbitrations ... it sent the Peace Corps — scurrying abroad ... it called classmates into the service of their coun- try .. . it followed an American astronaut into space, and it watched curiously as I. U. ' s shelternauts emerged from a week ' s confinement in a fallout shelter . . . it bounced along the highway as fraternity men dribbled a basketball to Purdue . . . and for a fleeting moment, it seemed rewarding — until the student realized his high cumulative average was based on the 4.0 system. TRADITION, changeable as the weather, fell into decay as Alpha Hall bowed gracefully in the face of progress ... it was altered as I. U. stu- dents realigned their political beliefs . . . only the future can tell what tradition has been built. f ADNESS, never wanted yet somehow always accepted ... it covered the . campus as Purdue returned to Lafayette with the Old Oaken Bucket . . . - , it was mixed with gay laughter as faculty members presented a boress play to honor a retiring president ... it stood next to tragedy as a basketball player returned to school in a wheelchair — and as two spelunkers drowned in a cave in southern Indiana. 1961-1962 . . . Indiana University . . . The story . . .
