Hare Krishna Festival Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna, Krsna, Hare, Hare Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama, Rama, Rain, Rain Monte Hostetler The followers of the Hare Krishna faith met in Dunn Meadow to share a day of faith in song. The festival was organized, one devotee said, so students would have a chance to chant and eat spiritual food. It cleans you out, he explained. Although some students participated in the activities, most stood at the outskirts of the fes- tival, silently eating free watermelon. Later in the afternoon the spirit of the Krishna festival was dampened a little when a twenty minute torrent rained out the meadow. But the spirit of t he Krishna followers was hardly touched as they packed up their tapestries and unused wa- termelons and ran for shelter. 20

i Bill Hillenbrand has kept his love for football alive through the years. At the immediate left he is a half- hack on the 1942 lU team. That year Hillenbrand had been voted Indiana ' s Most Valuable Player by the Chicago Tribune and received Life magazine ' s Na- tion ' s Outstanding Player trophy. Out of Indiana ' s 15 touchdowns that year, he had been involved in 14. On the opposite page, thirty-one years later, Hillenbrand has substituted a martini for a football and an Arnold Palmer sweater jor jersey number 44. A pre-game primer for the alumni set Parking Lot Parties Da id IJV The advent of football season invariably brings on parking lot parties. Although students participate in the event, alumni in particular gather outside the stadium during the pre-game hours to prime themselves tor an afternoon of the Hurryin ' Hoosiers in ac- tion. The first ones would arrive around ten in the morning. By noon, the entire outer perim- eter of the Assembly Hall parking lot would be lined with Lincolns, mobile homes, fifth wheels and large station wagons. Relaxing in canvas deck chairs outside their cars, the alumni would sip Bloody Marys and Screw- drivers while conversing about what Corso was doing wrong and what Herman B Wells was doing right. Interest in lU activities does not aluays end with the traditional graduation ceremony. Dr. George Gooliak has attended lU football games every year since 1942. i 19
