Sonny Rollins Famous people in virtually every walk of life made Iowa City one of their stops during the year. The University Concert Series, the Lecture Se' ries, Central Party Committee, and many other programs gave SUI the opportunity to see, to hear, and to enjoy personalities ol world renown. During the year, Emlyn Williams re-created the boyhood of poet Dylan Thomas, Hubert Hum- phrey talked politics, and Vincent Price breathed life into the letters of VanGogh. Iazz greats Dave Brubeck and Sonny Rollins kept SUl's foot tapping. Stan Kenton, the Kings- ton Trio, and Meredith Willson continued the musical mood as Karlheinz Stockhausen puzzled audiences with the bee-pings and buzzings of his electronic music. The melodic strains of the Minneapolis Sym- phony, the sandpaper tonsils of Louis Satehmo Armstrong, and the never-to-be-forgotten voice ol' white-haired poet Robert Frost-these, and many more, were the impressions left by SUl,s visiting celebrities. l l l 4 Hubert Humphrey 1 I Emlyn Williams Mmuifpii

Thus, the list will go on and on and man's spirit of achievement will keep the Kaleida- scope whirling,
