They, did all the things that normal students did, only faster and in smaller numbers. ' Summer school drew many people every year. Whether mo- tives were to graduate ahead, on time, or a year late, summer school students found they all had one thing to look forward to a the prospect of a ruined and boring summer. . . But what they actually got was something else. Experience proved that summer school was in reality a-mini-academic year complete with all advantages and disadvantages school normally afforded. . . As studentjoined the great migration back to Oxford, down the road which they had fled just seven days before, visionsof drudg- ery were temporarily assuaged.

Olympic trials were held on Cook F ield by the National Archery Assoc1ation throughout the first few days of summer. The Na- tional Collegiate Athletic Association held its national champion- ships each year at Miami, but this year a special element was added; selected title winners became eligible to compete for a position on the United States Archery team. And students, unable to watch the Olympic games on television due to the national boycott, were able to enjoy an Olympian drama presented in their own backyard. The champions returned to Oxford in lateJune. These athletes were more concerned with body geometries than with bow and arrow, though. World champibnship trials were held for the Na- tional Sports Acrobatics and Tumbling Association on June 27-28 in Millett Hall. The event was televised by CBS Sports Spectacular. It provided another opportunity for summer students to partake in the making of history, rather than merely in the reading of it.
