Constructive Party members busy themselves making party buttons and favors to be passed out at the beginning of the campaign. Tags handed out at the chapel door added to the feeling of excitement already started by the posters which were hanging on every available space on cam- pus. These signs were indications of the work of party members the night before— members who faithfully sup- ported their party throughout the campaign. The chapel hour intensified the excitement as campaign managers introduced their party platforms and their party candi- dates. Rallies augmented the rising enthusiasm. The night before election day, cars lined up in parade to lift enthusiasm to a climax. On election day excited voters crowded the polls to cast their votes. Secretaries counted and published the results. For the first time in many years all three offices were filled by the same party. The Vision party candidates won: Preston Figge, President; Jasper DeVidal, Treasurer; and Arlene Milner, Secretary. Shocked, but happy, and with a genuine sense of re- sponsibility for leadership Preston and the other elected candidates stressed as their goal unity in areas of campus life through understanding and organization. The Constructive Party candidate for the office of President of the Associated Students, Dave Strawn, delivers his campaign speech. The first day of the campaign found the Vision Party campaigning vigorously.

Flowers, formals-and the help of the l.B.M. machines-combined together to make an enjoy- able evening. Moments to Remember tf Plans and ideas permeated the air as the Junior- Senior Banquet date approached. The Junior hosts sent invitations to the Seniors, revealing the place-The South Shore Country Club in Chicago, and the occasion- formal. The usual romantic emphasis given to such an oc- casion was abandoned to give opportunity for all mem- bers to attend. Questionnaires, with questions such as: Are you humble? and Do you believe George Baker looks like Yul Brenner? were sent to all the members of both classes. An IBM machine matched couples from the results. At the banquet, these couples ate filet mignon and afterwards were entertained by a quartet, a piano solo, and by a speech directed to the Seniors by Rev. King, Chaplain of the Cook County Jail. At a post party in the Universe, decorated with a floral and garden ar- rangement, Linda Swartz emceed, Holland Lewis proph- esied, Professor Walmsley practiced mental telepathy, George Baker sang Exodus, and a women ' s trio sang Moments to Remember. Those attending the banquet and the post party felt that they had enjoyed an evening to be added to their moments to remember. Gale Giiyer and George Baker blend their voices to entertain the students and faculty members in attendance. 14
