CAMPUS VIEW ... Or the time Willie got seven overdue notices from the library before he even knew he had the damn book! There were other Willies ' and Sams ' and Helens ' during the year. And among them were a reasonable number of campus curi- osity sights: perhaps a Bohemian or two, maybe a guy who didn ' t have a buckle in the back of his trousers, and certainly thousands of pairs of gaudy feminine knee socks. The Last Days of Ewing Hall was the theme for hundreds of commerce and journalism students who still could take no immediate delight in the prospects for their future home across the street from the Campus. The Kissing Circle was, of course, repainted — and reused. And you still feared the time you might be forced to cut an en- tire morning ' s classes while waiting for coffee in a local beanery. As each weekend approached the cafes were playing to capacity houses up- town, and classes weren ' t. Canned music.

APPREHENSIVE ARRIVAL spfember it was Back to Campus again. Amidst the swearing and confusion of preparations for another year entrenched in that somewhat remote spot — Athens — you reluctantly gave up your summer job, the once- in-a-lifetime job. You returned, and the Campus looked no different. True, there were two more dormitories opened on East Green, and a new commerce building had begun to take shape, but Johnnie Reb and his Union counterpart still adorned the me- morial on the college green and college food was still not like homecooking. But you were glad to be back — until classes began. Ellis Hall remained the haunted house, haunted by the academic ghosts who return every fall to run the defenseless student in- to a flunking grade, or at least a D. But being back felt good.

In the still ol the evening — everything from rock and roll to Romberg RYTHYM AND MELODY You said if with music this year at Ohio University. Whether it was your dubious tones during the evening shower or the way you con- tracted the whistle itch on the college Green at dusk — it was music. If you were only a spectator, you heard Dave Brubeck, Ray Anthony, the Four Freshmen and Fred Waring. And Chuck Minelli was still keeping the grass sprawling with music-lovers during his Concerts Under The Elms.
