For five years he served on the faculty in the English Department at Buena Vista. Mr. May graduated from McKinzie High School. He received his B.A. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1951. Three years later he received his M.A. from the University of Michi- gan. Since that time he has done work towards his Ph.D. at the University of Illinois. Mr. May, never content just to teach his classes, has been active in many college activities. He served on the Student Affairs Committee in 1964 and 1965. He was instrumental in forming an American Association of Uni- versity Professors chapter at Buena Vista and he has been an active member in that organization on this campus. He helped to organize the Faculty Senate in 1966 and served on the Senate through most of that year. In addi tion to being a member of the A.A.U.P., he is a member of the National Council of Teachers of English. Mr. May served as faculty sponsor for the Student Council and Kappa Tau Delta Fraternity. He also has been a member of the College Publications Committee and served as advisor for the LOG for several years. Because of his teaching ability and his long interest in student affairs, we dedicate this LOG, on behalf of the student body, to a man who not only made us learn, but also made us think: to a man who stood ever ready to lend a helping hand; to a man who gave untiringly of himself for the improvement of Buena Vista College — Mr. Denton May. The year 1966-67 was memorable in two ways. Not only were many unique events spon- sored as part oj the 75th Anniversary, but in- creased student interest in Campus problems and affairs indicated change in Buena Vista ' s at- mosphere.

The days of warm summer laughter are over, and the tanned shades return to the Heaven and Hades which is Buena Vista College. To some it means water fights, T-peed rooms; and shaving cream; to others it means all- nighters, zoo labs, and long dry lectures. For most it becomes a pleasant mixture. Some find romance and a diamond: some find only heart- ache. Thus it is always. Above; Sooner or later, every college student turns to card playing.

There is the hectic frustration of registration, the decathlon of finals, and the agony of grades; the anguish of term papers and 199 ' s. However, Buena Vista offers its own special delights: Flagg ' s delicious homecooked hamburger, hash, potato chips, and more hamburgers; an exciting, infinite variety of dances; vintage 1942 movies; and the Union.

By car, foot, pig- gyback, and marching in the band, most stu- dents reached the Bank Corners, where the traditional pep rally took place. The introduc- tion of the football players to the eager crowd was punctuated by band music, cheers led by the cheerleaders, and spontaneous roars from the crowd. Thus fired up, the students flocked back to the campus, to watch the frosh and upperclassmen battle with hoses over a basket- ball. No one knows which team of wet warriors won, but all agreed the freshmen had avenged themselves for the upperclassmen ' s Beanie Courts . and the goalposts came a-tumblin ' down.

The lake, its sand beaches, the billowing sail, new grass, birds on the wing, the budding trees, the lengthening warm days — all signaled the call to study the natural sciences.

Sharp, President of Drake Uni- versitv, told the 100 graduates We must respect our leadership or before long we will not have any. We must respect others to retain our own self respect. he said. Graduates should foster dignity for all people dignity that comes from the honoring of honesty and truth. Use your learning for unselfish ends. Adventurous thinking is your birthright, avoid dull conformity or addiction to the world of fantasy. Remember that any individual person may mould ideas which could change the shape of the world, the educator declared. Courage is the highest quality a graduate can cherish -courage to defend justice and freedom for all people. There are more slum dwellers in our country than there are people living on farms. The function of education is to cope with change, Dr. Sharp stated. A graduate ' s asset is his searching and inquiring mind. He recognizes the rapid obsoles- cence of learned knowledge and research data. He began his education with the admonition that half of the infor- mation he would learn at school would be out-of-date by in Richurd Bren o 36 FINIQHED C0UR9E9 AT BUENA VISTA graduation, but which half?

Many distinguished visitors were on the campus for the Honor Iowan Convocation. The birthday year began officially on July 8, 1966, with a birthday party in the Bradford Hotel. Throughout the year, hundreds of alumni, faculty, friends, and students participated in programs which spread the name of the college across the county. The first big anniversary celebration was the Honor Iowans ' Convocation on September 17. Clark Mollenhoff, Pulitzer prize winner, ad- dressed a large crowd at the convocation which honored 75 Iowans of national renown. After that came Homecoming and a barbecue for the public. Over 3,000 people ate at the bar- becue. It was a great weekend, but only the beginning! In November came Bennett Cerf and a list of entertainers and nationally known speakers. For the first time, two graduation ceremonies were held in one year. In January, graduates heard Iowa ' s Governor, Harold Hughes, and saw him receive his first honorary degree. Then, spring graduation, and the end of the 75th Anniversary academic year — a big year and a commencement for Buena Vista College. John Dvergsten, Chairman of the Anniversary Celebration enjoyed the Honors Convocation. Dr. Harvey Rice, President of Macalester College was the featured speaker at the 75th Anniversary kick-off dinner. 43 « Left: A big Bar-B-Que was staged following the Homecoming Parade for the parade partic- ipants.

From a lecture to a trip to a mental health institute, and from a language lab in Storm Lake to a biology lab in Jamaica, Buena Vista students were in a classroom.

Dr. Robert Tollefson (left) lectures to his religion class. New to the College during the 1966-67 year was a micro-film reader which was installed in the library. Education at Buena Vista College is a mixture of theory and practice. Practical experience is gained under super- vised conditions. Student Teaching, for example, gave Education students the opportunity of practicing the art of teaching under the careful guidance of a supervising teacher. Student Teachers were sent to elementary and high schools throughout Northwest Iowa. Those who participated in the program considered the practice teaching a time of practical learning. The language laboratory gave students learning foreign languages a chance to communicate in those languages. Student teachers found that a variety of skills was necessary during STUDENTS LEARNED THROUGH PRACTICAL Dr. Hirsch inspected the language lab equipment- - a valuable teaching tool.

Professor Ronald Smith was photographed as he pondered an unusual organism he had just discovered under the Microscope. The greenhouse that was added to the west side of Smith Hall proved to be a great help to botany students. By the end of the 1966-67 year it was filled with many plant varieties. Dr. James Christiansen, who published a lab notebook for his introduc- tory students, set up an experiment for his first-year chemistry course. Professor Wayne Wild checked out a piece of electrical equipment. Professor Iftikhar Bhatti used a plastic model as a teaching aid in his zoology laboratory. The science classes used the somewhat less than adequate facilities of Smith Hall, but by the end of the year the new science building was taking shape and students and staff alike were hoping it would be in use late in 1967. 53 r PICTURES OF THE LIBRARY IN ACTION Immediate Right Linda Harries enters the lower level which houses the stacks of books and the periodicals.

BALLOU LIBRARY Under the able direction of Mr. Virgil Lich- tenberg, the L. E. Ballou Library was a real asset to students who needed and regularly used its facilities. In addition to Head Librarian Lich- tenberg, Mr. George Miller, Mrs. Mary Per- sing, Miss Jacqueline Hansen, and Mrs. Eva Myrick went out of their way to be helpful and courteous. 55 MARINE BIOLOGISTS TRAVELED TO OCHO Professor Jack Harr identified some specimens the students had found. Checking their catch are Carl Johnson, Arnold Harmsen, and Roger Allan. The group making the trip to Jamaica included Melvin Gutz, Carl John- son, Helene Dahl, Loren Kline. William Winnike, Patricia Freeman. James Kilts, Roger Allan, and Ed Laird. Mr. Harr and Mr. Smith ac- companied these students. RIOS. JAMAICA, FOR LAB A laboratory for marine biology in land-locked Iowa presents an obvious problem, but professor Ronald E. Smith found the ideal solution and thus made Buena Vista one of the few Iowa colleges to offer a course in marine biology. The marine biologists, as well as professor Smith and professor Jack L. Harr, gave up their spring holiday to travel to Ocho Rios, Jamaica, West Indies, to study the marine life of the area. The group left March 18, and returned April 2. While in Jamaica they stayed at the Caribbean Biological Center. Three other colleges studied at the Caribbean Biological Center along with the Buena Vista gro ' up. They included: Tufts University, Medford, Mass.; Wake Forest College, Winston-Salem, N.C.; and Wells College, Aurora, N.Y. The Center is on the outskirts of the town of Ocho Rios on the north coast of the island, about 65 miles from Montego Bay. The property includes fourteen acres of tropical plantings, both native and exotic. The half-mile of shore consists of both sandy beach and rugged rock- bound areas. Streams flow into the ocean from caves nearby and these provide great potential for scientific investigation. The men were successful in getting a large number of underwater pictures of their work on color slides, and were able to locate, identify and classify many marine specimens common only to the Jamaica area. Although the group accomplished a great deal, and spent most of their time studying the biological features of the area, they had time for some fun. For example, they returned with glowing reports of a tortoise race they entered. Having chosen a tortoise they named Sneaky Pete, (picture not available, unfortunately) they entered it in the race. After a slow start, Pete managed to slip by most of the rest of the entries and came in a photo finish tie for first. The judge ' s decision went against Sneaky Pete, and the Beaver Tortoise Trainers considered peti- tioning the result. When the group returned, complete with pictures, specimen, and a deep golden tan, all agreed that the trip had been well worth while. They had received a top-notch education and had an enjoyable time too. The Jamaican trip has become one of the highlights of the year for the College and provides an opportunity for study found in few other inland colleges. No, he really doesn ' t have the bends. Ed Laird examined his gear before diving for speci- mens. A few of the finds were difficult to identify. v w Toward evening the student ' s gathered together on the bead: to review the day ' s work. We would like to thank Ron Smith for making these pictures of the trip available to the LOG. The organizations on the Buena Vista campus gave students practical experience in such widely diversified areas as student government— jour- nalism — athletics — speech — politics — service — dramatics — academ ics.

COUNCIL HANDLED A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES AND PROBLEMS The Student Council was the highest student-elected governing body at Buena Vista College. It was composed of a total of fifteen representatives, five seniors, four juniors, three sophomores, and three freshmen. The activities of the Student Council were many and varied. It was responsible for sponsoring many of the social activities of the campus. The Council had a budget of ' 00 for the entire year, which was taken from student The Council soon found that this was far short of amount needed to bring a sufficient amount of enter- tainment to Storm Lake to satisfy the needs of the stu- dents of Buena Vista College. The Council also assisted with freshmen orientation and selected class officers for the freshmen at the beginning of the college year. The big activity in the fall for the Council was orga- nizing Homecoming. The Council was in charge of the Homecoming Variety Show, pep rallies, and the largest parade Buena Vista had ever seen, in addition to half- time ceremonies during the game. The Council also sponsored several big name concerts during the year. More important than the organizational function of Council was its function as a representative of the lent body. The members of the Council met with the faculty and administration several times in an effort to work out some of the problems thai existed between the two groups. These meetings gave the Council members an opportunity to express their opinions to the adminis- tration and faculty concerning college policy, but ap- peared to provide few changes in that policy. From time to time, the Council took the lead in presenting an issue that had aroused strong student support. One of these was Revolution ' 66. When angry students, frustrated when action by the Student Council and a petition by hundreds of students failed to bring results, marched on the chapel, the Council took a leading role in the dis- cussion with the president of the College that followed. In March the Student Council held elections for the Council officers for the following year. The campaign produced a number of surprises, including a go-go girl in Convocation during the campaign speeches. While a very small minority objected to the pollution of the stage in such an obscene manner. most students and staff alike cheered, yelled, and whistled at near-riot pitch: and it appeared for a moment as though Miss Dawn would sweep the election, but when the votes had been tallied the officers for the next year were to be Steve Smith, president: Tom Daniels, vice-president: Steve Anderson, secretary; and Steve Spark, treasurer. Pro- fessor R. E. Smith was chosen as the new advisor. The officers for the 1966-67 year were Dan Ott, presi- dent; Eugene Poklitar. vice-president; Dave Smith, secre- tary; and Scott Whyte, treasurer. FRONT ROW.

FUTURE OF STUDENT SENATE IN DOUBT AT END OF YEAR The purpose of the Student Senate was to rep- resent the student body by making recommen- dations, suggestions, and otherwise assisting the Student Council. The Senate did not have the power to take final action, but was formed only to assist the Student Council in planning and coordinating campus activities and it was made up of one representative from each campus organization. Dan Ott, as president of the Student Council was also president of the Student Senate. He felt that the Senate had not been active enough in the past to warrant its existence, so after some discussion in the Student Council, the Senate was disbanded late in the fall of 1966. The Student Council ' s plan was to replace the Senate with a Student Union Board. The organizational structure of the Board was for- mulated and applications were received for membership on the Board, but no action could be taken by the Council before the end of the year in setting the new Union Board into motion. At the end of the year, the organization of the Student Senate was still intact on paper, at least, because the constitution of the Student Council still recognized it as an aide to the Student Coun- cil. As the year ended, there were many wh wondered whether the Senate would functi  n again or not. The answer seemed to depci i up- on the attitude of the new Student Council of- ficers.

Its first major ap- pearance was the annual ias Concert on Decem- ber 11. Performing I a capacity crowd, the choir presented a prog d music, which was highly praised. First even ' of the second semester was a performance at the No Iowa Choral Festival in Cherokee, Iowa. The real highlight of the year was the Concert Tour. This e choir headed west. Leaving Storm Lake Friday, members sang their first concert that night ; he next day was entirely devoted to travel, hoir crossed Nebraska and part of Colorado to Denver, where they sang at four churches on Sunday. r ing in the Denver area, they sang at high schools in rry Creek, Ault, and Lakewood; in churches at Little- ton. Arvada and Longment; as well as in Central and North Presbyterian Churches in Denver. Tuesday after- noon the choir checked into the Cosmopolitan Hotel, and then had the rest of the day and the following morn- ing for excursions into the mountains, to Golden, and Central City Colorado and the area of Buffalo Bill ' s grave. Continuing the next day, the Choir visited the Air Force Academy and sang in Colorado Springs and La Junta. Crossing into Kansas, they gave concerts in Dodge City, Hutchinson, and Overland Park. On Sunday morning, April 30, the group sang for three church ser- vices at Westminster Presbyterian Church, and then completed the tour by singing in Fort Dodge that night. All in all, the Choir was gone for ten days, traveled al- most 2,000 miles, and sang eighteen times. Besides sacred concerts at churches, it also presented concerts of both secular and sacred numbers for high schools. In spite of the busy schedule, the Choir never sang a poor concert and received plaudits in every town. The final concert of the year was on April 7 in Schaller Memorial Chapel. The Choir, from the wings. Professor Pfaltzgraff worked for months arranging the Choir ' s western tour. Baggage sorting was a chore from start to finish.

Green, was very busy during the 1966-67 year. During the first two months it marched and played a halftime show at all home football games. In addition, it marched in the Homecoming Parade and traveled with the team to Dodge City, Kansas, where a halftime show was given for the game with St. Mary ' s of the Plains. At the end of the marching season, the band became the Concert Band. Band officers, elected at the beginning of the year, were Andy Meredith, president; Sally Johnson, vice-president; Diane Clowes, secretary-treasurer; Charles Manning and Richard Chambers, librar- ians; Gary Clark, manager; and Gary Moser, properties manager. The first formal concert of the year was given March 16 in Schaller Memorial Chapel. Despite a small crowd, the band gave an excellent concert. The band also performed again on May 1 1, during the Buena Vista Fine Arts Festival. Besides these concerts, the band had other activities. The members assisted in the Northwest Iowa Grade and Junior High School Music Contest. Some of the members also had an opportunity to play in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Band, composed of select members of various college bands in the Midwest. This band gave a concert on April 8 in the Little Theatre, under the direction of Mr. Revelli, Di- rector of the University of Michigan Bands.

Sinfonia ' s first major activity was during Homecoming, when the group sponsored a float and a musical act for the Variety Show. Highlight of the year was the American Com- poser ' s Concert in the spring. The fraternity also helped usher at concerts and provided entertainment for Convocations. Its stage band was in great demand at dances and proms. Not neglecting the social side, the club sponsored a hay rid a tobogganing party, and a steak, fry during the year.

The members of the Buena Vista Circle K Club en- joyed one of the most successful years in their seventeen year history. The Buena Vista Club was the third club formed and the thirteenth chartered in Circle K Inter- national, an organization that by 1967 totaled 750 clubs and 15.000 members. Operating under the theme ' Serve With Purpose, the Club assisted the campus and community. Projects in- cluded ushering at athletic and dramatic events, helping to organize the largest Homecoming Parade in the history of the College, assisting with an auto safety check, pro- viding pop machines around the campus, assisting with the Storm Lake blood drive, sponsoring a slave auction, and guiding prospective students around the campus. Two projects stood above the rest — the Korean Clothing Drive and the B. V. Sign Project. Noting an absence of signs around Storm Lake directing visitors to the College, the C n made and erected the needed signs. The Bulletin ircle K International printed a description of this project as a guide and inspiration to other Circle K clubs thi t the United States and Canada. When Bue ( ircle K received a letter from a Korean orph. ng for clothing, a drive was orga- ed and stage: the needs of these Korean children. This project was so successful that it was awarded the Je Service Award at the Convention of the Nebraska- district Circle K David Smith. BOTTOM: Steven Smith. Ray VanderVelden. William Stoakes.

' ■ ■:-. .:■: ■■ ... ■..,■;■ Buena Vista Circle K, in addition to sponsoring proj- ects for the benefit of College and community, was an important factor in both District and International Circle K operation. A Buena Vista delegation was sent, late in August, 1966, to the International Circle K Convention in Dallas, Texas, where it played an active part in elec- tions, as a Buena Vista member nominated the young man who was elected International Secretary. A member of the club, Steve Smith, served as Governor of the Nebraska-Iowa District during the year. His duties took him more than fifteen thousand miles during his term of office. Ten new Circle K. Clubs were started on campuses in the two states during the ' 66-67 year, with Buena Vista men assisting with forming a number of these. The climax of the year came in April at the District Convention held in Omaha, Nebraska. Not only did the Buena Vista group win the Single Service Project Award, but it was also able to elect member Bill Hill as District Governor, the first time the District Governor had been elected from the same club two consecutive years. Also at the Convention a resolution was adopted supporting member Steve Smith for an office in Circle K. Interna- tional. At year ' s end the club members were planning the campaign to be carried on at the International Con- vention to be held in Ottawa, Canada, in August. 1966-67 Circle K. officers were: Floyd Rogers, Presi- dent; Jim Numbers, Vice-President; William Stoakes, Secretary; Ray Vander Velden, Treasurer, Mr. Norman Bonnema was the club ' s sponsor. The Buena Vista Club was active in helping to start new Circle K Clubs. Here Steve Smith, District Governor, presents Charters to new clubs at Vennard and William Penn Colleges. This twin-charter party at Oskaloosa made Circle K International history. 73 BETAS STAGED JAILBREAK Delta Phi Beta sorority actively participated in various service and social functions during the yea ugh these activities the Betas car- ried out their purpose in promoting a feeling of od among their members, encourag- ing high academic achievement, and developing ial grace through their associations with each other, their sponsors, and their patronesses. The first activity of the year was the informal fall rush period. After an inter-sorority party and a preference dinner at the Cobblestone, seven fall pledges were initiated into the soror- ity. The new members pledged in time to assist with the planning of the Beta Homecoming skit and the float, Frost the Knights, which won the Sweepstakes Award. The Annual Alliance Luncheon, held during Homecoming, provided opportunity for present and past Betas to get together. Alliance members were also invited to the traditional Christmas Party. Betas were a vocal group in December as they sang Christ- mas carols for patients at Buena Vista County Hospital and had a caroling exchange with a fraternity. Second semester brought the formal rush period. Twelve active pledges did not dis- appoint the actives in their enthusiasm and vitality during pledge period. In addition to giving four actives an expense paid trip to Newell on the train, the pledges managed to perform a highly successful jailbreak from the Storm Lake Police Station while wearing the traditional red and white prison suits. Acti- vation of new members took place at the Brad- ford Hotel and the Spring Banquet at the Steak House in Storm Lake. New officers were in- stalled and seniors graduating this spring were honored. Projects sponsored by the Betas this year in- cluded the sale of 75th Anniversary pennants at various functions throughout the year and a joint sorority-fraternity car wash in the spring. Betas also served at tea for Marjorie Holmes, a former Beta and now prominent author and columnist. The girls of Delta Phi Beta worked efficiently through the year to promote sisterhood that will last far beyond their time at Buena Vista. Officers for 1966-67 were: President, Ruth Heglin; Vice-President, Marianne Patterson; Secretary, Janet Aube; Treasurer, Margy Bar- ber; Historian, Sabra Brewer; Reporter, Rose- mary Pritchard; and Inter-sorority representa- tives, Jane Berglund and Joy Kadlecik.

It took as its motto Friendship, Har- mony and Fidelity, and its flower and jewel wer e th carnation and the pearl. The so- rority colors were pink and white. On becoming ach girl was entitled to wear the black and gold triangular Phi Alpha Pi pin. Officers for the 1966-67 year were LuAnn Beck, President; Arlene Monthei, Vice-Presi- dent; Shirley Howieson, Secretary; Jackie Zale- sky, Treasurer; Joyce Olson, Historian; Judi Milazzo, Pledge Trainer; and Pat Freeman and Michelle Pelle, ISC Representatives. The soror- ity ' s sponsors were Mrs. James McDiarmid and Mrs. Dean Persing. The first activity of the new school year was Fall Rush. Pledges dressed in black, wore clown hats, and carried buckets of candy for the ac- tives. Hell Night activities included tricycle riding up and down Main Street, followed by swimming at the Peterson home. Homecoming was another challenge for the Phi Alphs. Activities included selling traditional mums and a banquet for members at the Alli- ance. The Phi Alph float won first place in the school spirit division, while the skit took honor- able mention in the Variety Show. Four Phi Alphs, Judi Milazzo, Lynn Richarz, Michelle Pelle, and Pat Freeman, were on the Home- coming Court, while a fifth, Miss Teddy Wack- her, reigned as Queen. At the Christmas Party the traditional Booty Exchange took place. Two sisters brought a pair of matching baby booties and filled them with candy and nuts. All the booties were then put on a big tray and picked by the girls at ran- dom. Girls picking matching booties became booty partners, which meant that the first sister to marry and have a baby received the booty from the other girl. Thus, sorority members could keep in touch after graduation. During Spring Rush each pledge wore a self- made clown suit and carried candy and a spe- cial object, such as lettuce or onions, assigned to them by the actives. Rush started with a Round the World Party , and included a noisy 5:30 AM raid on the men ' s dorm by the pledges. During pledge period the sorority spon- sored an all-school Mardi gras Dance. Other spring activities included the Alliance Luncheon, where each graduating senior was presented with a silver spoon; and the Patroness Tea, sponsored by the ISC to thank Storm Lake women who opened their homes to the sororities for meetings throughout the year. Phi Alpha Pi was also proud that one of the sisters, Terry Etter, was elected Miss Storm Lake for 1967. Although primarily a college Phi Alpha Pi provided a means contacts with former members alumni organization. Each girl establish a perpetual bond of friendship which continues long after graduation.

DELT9 HAD OFF-CAMPUS LODGE The Gamma chapter of the Delta Phi Rho fraternitv ablished in 1925 to create a social or ion whose membership would and further the scholastic and moral of Buena Vista College. The oldest il fraternity on campus, it boasted a mem- ship of almost forty men with an active alumni organization of 350. Delta Phi Rho ' s objectives stressed judg- ment, responsibility, equality, and respect; while study habits, scholastic achievement, physical stamina, and etiquette were subtly instilled during the pledge period. Delt men were en- couraged to participate in outside activities, and they played a leading role in campus organiza- tions, including honorary fraternities, athletics, and student government. The fraternity strove to be a benefit to both campus and community. This year the fraternity was fortunate enough to secure consent of the College for furnishing a lodge off campus, where parties and other fra- ternity functions could be held. Such functions included a Halloween Party and a Christmas Party, a Beatnik Party, a Western Party, and the annual Spring Pajama Party. The Delts also let the rest of the College get into the party spirit when they took over the Cafeteria one evening and converted it into a giant casino. Besides serving dinner, the fraternity gave stu- dents a chance to gamble and drink in a genuine Keno atmosphere. Major social event of the Delt year was the Winter Formal in February at Vern Coda ' s restaurant on Lake Okoboji. The Delts were also proud of their queen candidate, Miss Teddy Wackher, who was elected Homecoming Queen. Officers for the 1966-67 year were Bill Neff, President; Marty Pitlik, Vice-President; Jerry Hilton, Secretary; and Bill Eilers, Treasurer. The fraternity ' s sponsor was Professor An- thony Stone. Bill Nefl , Bill Clark, Al Hawkins and Marty Pitlik cooked up a storm in the cafeteria when the Delts served dinner in the spring.

GAMMA SIGMA PHI SPONSORED APRIL CHRISTMAS PARTY The Gamma Sigma Phi Fraternity was or- ganized to promote social activity on the Buena Vista campus, to exhibit and to strive for gentle- manly standards, to encourage and to maintain scholarship, to provide security in the social graces, and to further college spirit. Under the leadership of President Dave Wolfe, the Gammas began the 1966-67 year by pledging a small, but select, class of five men. They were active during Homecoming, when their queen candidate, Ruth Heglin, was elected to the Homecoming Court, and their Variety Show act, Super Jock Jones, an hilarious parody on the sacred cows on the Buena Vista campus, won first place in the talent category. The Gamma ' s float was the theme winner in the Homecoming Parade. Other first semester activities included a Thanksgiving Party, two car washes, a Gamma sponsored all-school dance at the Cobblestone in December, and Christmas caroling. Second semester saw a mighty pledge class of eleven. Further activities included a Beatnik Party, a Come-as-you-are Party, and most unique, a Christmas Party in the middle of April! Assisting President Wolfe as officers were Scott Whyte, Vice-President; Dave Thomas, Secretary; and Kerry Spaur, Treasurer. The fra- ternity sponsor, whose towering presence was advantageous in the Variety Show skit, was Professor Jackson Ragsdale.

Its purpose was to develop a close brother- hood with strong bonds between actives, pledges, and alumni. The principles of campus leader- ship, social poise, and high scholarship were among the goals of the group. The fraternity started off the year in fine style, as it sent out nine bids to prospective pledges and had all nine bids accepted. The Kap- pas were represented in the Homecoming pa- rade and Variety Show by a float and a skit. The float, the members felt, was a contribution to the ecumenical movement, as it was built by two Jews and an Arab. Kappa social calendar included a Halloween Party and a Christmas Party, as well as other informal functions. The fraternity was proud that one of their brothers, Thomas Doc Daniels, running on the Go-Go ticket, was elected Vice-President of the Buena Vista Stu- dent Council. During the year the Kappas received guidance from their officers: Floyd Simpson. President; Robert Fiorendino, Vice-President: Al Garreau; Secretary: Bill Winnike. Treasurer: and Tom Daniels, Historian. The group ' s sponsor for four years, Mr. Denton May, stepped down from his position amid the regrets of the frater- nity members, and was replaced as sponsor by Mr. William Strube.

LAMBDA 9I6MA TAU 9PARKED INTEREST IN MANY FIELDS OF SCIENCE Members of Lambda Sigma Tau, national honorary science fraternity, were science ma- jors and could be admitted at the end of their sophomore year with a minimum of nineteen hours of science and mathematics. In order to be admitted, a student was required to hold a 3.0 grade average in all science and math courses with at least a 2.7 cumulative grade average. Membership in the fraternity, which has been on the Buena Vista College campus since 1959, was bestowed on science students in recognition of superior scholastic attainment and their de- velopment of those special abilities which cul- minate in the scientific method. The fraternity proposed to keep its members abreast of current scientific developments and to interest the stu- dent body and the community in the many areas of scientific and mathematical study. At their meetings the members heard speakers whose aim was to give them a greater under- standing of modern scientific techniques and ideas. Many of the members also had a chance to participate in scientific activities and re- search, such as the marine biology trip to Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Officers for the Buena Vista organization- officially known as the Delta Chapter the 1966-67 year were: Robert Olson, presk Ed Laird, vice-president; and Lynn Richarz, secretary-treasurer.

In October the Lettermen ' s Club played a big part in Homecoming festivities. The Lettermen were proud to sponsor Mi- chelle Pelle as their candidate for Homecoming Queen. Miss Pelle brought honor to the Club through her selec- tion to the Homecoming Court. The Club also took the initiative in selling programs at all football games and running a concessions stand at the games.

NEW CAMPU9 ORGANIZATION ENCOURAGED PARTICIPATION IN SPRING ACTIVITIES The Buena Vista College Ski Club was a new organization on the campus, being organized in December, 1966. The purpose of the club was the furthering of interest in skiing at Buena Vista College, and, as the first president of the group expressed it, To provide shelter and re- fuge for destitute skiers stranded on the hill- less wastes of Northwest Iowa. The Club pro- vided a means for students interested in one of the most exciting and fastest growing sports to get together to compare skiing notes and to plan future skiing expeditions. The organizational year (1966-67) for the Ski Club saw officers elected and a constitution written. The officers were Dave Thomas, presi- dent; Chris Martone, vice-president; and Husam Al-Mufti, secretary-treasurer. The Club had a large and active organization during its first year of existence and many of the members expressed a hope that the organi- zation will expand both in membership and in activities. It was hoped that several trips could be planned to skiing areas in the western states in the future. Although warm winter weather and lack of snow kept the Ski Club off the slopes part of the winter, the members took advantage of every opportunity they had to ski. As the last snows of winter slowly melted the Ski Club took one last look at the sn capped peaks and packed their skis awa to await another chance to brave the icy ■ of winter to go swiftly sliding down the s ippery slopes again.

Y.D 9 9AW INCREA9ED ACTIVITY 9EC0ND 9EME9TER The Buena Vista Young Democrats were few and far between on campus in 1966-67. This was not an unexpected situation, for campus political clubs have a history of lacking mem- bership quotas in the off-election years. Getting off to a slow start, the Club saw more second semester interest than it did first. At the February meeting Clay Dix was elected as president of the Y.D. ' s for the remainder of the year and for first semester of the following year. It was in March that President Dix and Jay Campbell joined with Young Republican mem- bers and Professor Reynolds and journeyed to Drake University in Des Moines to attend the Iowa Political Education Day sponsored by the Iowa Center for Education in Politics from the University of Iowa, Iowa City. The day was spent in dialogue with various Iowa legislators and concluded with an address by State Treas- urer, Paul Franzenburg. In April, former Young Democrat President Jay Campbell was fortunate in being the recipi- ent of a Week-In-Washington grant awarded by the Center for Education in Politics, and the Republican and Democratic parties. The week included meetings with numerous Congressmen and Senators including all those from Iowa and Speaker of the House of Representatives, John McCormack. Hosted by Congressmen Fred Schwengel and Neil Smith, Campbell and the other students from Iowa enjoyed tours of the Supreme Court, the State Department, National Committee Headquarters, the White House, French Embassy and numerous other govern- mental offices. The outlook for next year as another ' off year is not promising as far as club interest : concerned, claimed the Y.D. ' s at the end the year, But the Young Democrat gro optimistic and will most assuredly be noti. on the Buena Vista campus. 97 FRONT ROW.

(Student Iowa State Education As- sociation) was one of the largest organizations on the Buena Vista College campus. Among its stated purposes were to develop among the mem- bers of the organization a local education as- :iation which offered its members all the (unities, responsibilities, and privileges of . membership in the National and Iowa ' ition Associations; to develop a pro- ned to acquaint all students with the histor and program of the organized teaching rssion, thus impressing upon them the impo. of membership in a professional organizati to provide members many op- portunities I i ictical experience in working ' ogether in a d itic way on the problems of lie profession ta1 they might develop skills in operative acl rid leadership. r he activities f.S.E.A. included attending the fall Regional Meeting at Northwestern Col- lege in Orange City, Iowa, and the Spring Re- gional Meeting at Westmar College, in Le Mars, Iowa. Various guest speakers gave talks on the formation of F.T.A. (Future Teachers of Amer- ica) groups and on how to prepare for a job interview. Pane ls composed of S.I.S.E.A. mem- bers, including student teachers, presented discussions on the formation of F.T.A. groups in high schools. At the annual Spring Banquet, the new officers were installed. Sponsors for S.I.S.E.A. were members of Buena Vista ' s education faculty: Professor Carl Larson, Dr. Audrey White, Professor Floyd Connors, and Professor John Martin. The or- ganization was led by: Elsie Heikens, presi- dent; Diane Clowes, secretary; and Robert Kreft, treasurer. FRO.XT ROW.

Before that time the organiza- tion had been primarily for those who were in- terested in church vocations. Celtic Cross con- tinued to be an interdenominational group of students seeking Christian fellowship on campus. Emphasis was placed very strongly upon making Christ meaningful to college students and upon growing through Christian service. The organization assisted with many areas of the Chapel programs, and sponsored many distin- guished speakers throughout the year at their regular meetings. Following their programs, the members of Celtic Cross participated in in-depth discussions of many religious subjects including the God is dead issue. The group also assisted with Homecoming by presenting a float in the Homecoming parade. The group also provided opportunities for its members to become ac- quainted with the work of the Church throughout the United States and the rest of the world. Several members, for example, traveled to Chi- cago for a national meeting of Presbyterian men. Highlighting the year for the members of Cel- tic Cross were the opportunities that the two Religious Emphasis Weeks, at the beginning of both the first and second semesters, presented to the members to meet with religious leaders from other parts of the nation. Celtic Cross took the initiative in showing these men around the campus and in leading discussions during the Week. The members of Celtic Cross did not stop with expanding their knowledge of the Church and the mission of the church by listening to other speakers and by discussing issues among the ' selves, they also took the responsibility ofshari their knowledge with others. Many Sui Celtic Cross members were traveling to cl in the area as members of deputatio urns which presented church services to the c . les. FROST ROW. LEFT TO RIGHT: Richard Brenzo. Steven Smith.

What happened to that picture? I will have to change this layout! How many hours until the deadline? These were all sounds that could be heard coming from the Student Publications Room as the Beaver Log staff rushed to meet its dead- ew students realized that a small group of dedi- fellow students was working all year to produce an a! survey of the entire college year. he fall the staff voted to dedicate the yearbook to t -ponsor of the Log, Mr. Denton May. It also red a great number of ideas, many of which fi put into effect to produce a better an- nual.

In the fall of 1965 the staff moved their headquarters to the Student Publication ' s Room in the new Campus Center. The staff was able to make several important changes in the plan used in previous years. A modern informal layout style was adopted for much of the book. A special technique for creating layouts was tried, with the assis- tance of the American Yearbook Company. The new system was extremely successful, and American hoped to be able to share the technique with other schools. Ex- periments with printing styles, color and cover style and layout were tried, producing a unique book and enabling the staff to present a special cover for the 75th Anniver- sary edition. In general, the staff worked hard to provide the students with a literary and pictorial history of a memorable college year. The staff was led, or some claimed, driven by editor Steve Smith, assistant editor Don Guthrie, copy editor Rich Bren o and advisor Mr. Brophv .

TACK VOICED STUDENT OPINION Due to the enthusiasm of the student body and the large number of freshmen that volunteered their services to the TACK, the staff began the year fully prepared to provide adequate coverage of the year ' s activities. Perhaps it was the colorful and extensive, special Homecoming issue that highlighted the efforts of the first semester. The editorial policy of publishing all points of view soon established the TACK as a concerned spokesman for the students. The feature department, headed by Joel Francis, applied itself to the purpose of bringing to focus many discussable topics, the most prominent of which was the lethargy of the students and the secrecy of the administration in many matters. The issue most remembered certainly was the one which was dedicated to the famed, Revolution of 1966. The traditional Buena Vista April Fool ' s ATTACK provided the promised hilarity as in the past and stood out as the highlight of second semester. Buena Vista ' s answer to Playboy, which came with the TACK ' S first pin-up, Miss Dawn, following the Student Council elec- tions, will never be forgotten. The purpose of the TACK as a college newspaper was under much discussion, especially as the year opened. It was the established policy of editor. Jay Campbell, that on a small campus a student newspaper should primarily fulfill the role of representing the student ' s voice. The 1966-67 year at Buena Vista was one of the first years of a really vocal student body and the TACK felt itself to be instrumental in promoting an interest in the College by the students. Because of the small cam- pus size it was also established that the TACK should only secondarily be a newsy newspaper but primarily serve those who would rise to be heard. Although straight news stories were by no means neglected, they were subordinated in emphasis. It was Professor George Reynolds ,vho once said, Other colleges have their humor magazines, but Buena Vista has the TACK. And so it was that the TACK was indeed unique as a student publication. Summing up the year the TA CK had this to say, The Buena Vista TA CK never associated itself with the proventialism, nay conservatism, that had pervaded the total institution but instead prided itself on its spice, innovation, and unpredictability. 101 The 1966-67 year saw an increasing interest in athletics as plans were made for a new Athletic Building, and as a new sport, tennis, was added to the list of athletic activities. — -3 5 ATHLETICS increased PROPOSED NEW ATHLETIC Bf «- W)OT; i  y i waow W i ! i  w: i ' ' INTERE9T IN NEW ATHLETIC BUILDINO LDING AS DESIGNED BY WILLIAM BEUTTLER AND ARCHITECTURAL aPOCIaIeS BEAVERQ 9EC0ND CON Beaver strategy meeting at midtield that helped compile six wins to three losses.

For the second consecutive season, the Buena Vista Beavers compiled a 6 win — 3 loss record on the gridiron. This included a 4 —3 Iowa Conference mark. Several school records were broken by the Beavers. Senior quarterback Rick Wuldow set a new total yardage standard of 3689 yards. He tossed 39 career touchdown passes, easily sur- passing the old mark of 20 during the 1966 season. John Peterson, a four year veteran halfback scored 253 points in his college career. This in- cluded 96 points in his final season. Wulkow and Peterson were among the conference leaders in total yardage and points, respectively. Guard Rich Early, along with Peterson, was selected for the N.A.I. A. District 15 team. Early also represented Buena Vista on the Iowa College all star team in a post season Shrine game.

RAIN had a high batting average for the 1967 baseball season and spoiled Buena Vista chances of being Conference champions. Eleven of the 35 games scheduled were rained out, allowing Upper Iowa the top spot by virtue of having played two more games than the Beavers. The BV record in Conference play was 8 — 2, while Upper Iowa had 10 — 2. Larry Biittner headed the Beaver team in both pitching and slug- ging. The husky lefthanded hurler had five wins and no defeats in Conference and a 7— 1 record for the season. In loop games he hit an astronomical .567, with a .439 for the entire season. As a team the Beavers topped their loop opponents in most depart- ments, including: runs 55 — 24; hits 75 — 44, batting percentage .281— .179; two base hits 10—6; triples 4—1; stolen bases 25—3, walks received 30—21; strike outs 57—72, and RBIs 57—20. The full season results showed similar comparisons. With only one sen- ior, Rick Wulkow, graduating from the regulars, the 1968 season shows great promise. The reception line for home run hitters was formed 1 1 times during the ' 67 season. r T i I Beaver pitchers tallied 57 strike-outs in ten Conference games. i. r 115 BUENA VI9TA TRACKSTERS April 6 April 18 April 22 April 25 May 2 May 4 May 12- 13 1967 TRACK MEETS AND RESULTS Dual with Northwestern 1st Triangular with Briar Cliff and Northwestern 1st Redman Relays 3rd LeMars Invitational 7th B.V.-S.L.

Before this he had filled several pastorates in Ohio and Illi- nois, and served as General Presbyter of the Presbytery of New York. He received his bache- lor ' s degree from the State University of Iowa and the B.D. degree from Union Theological Seminary, New York City, New York. He also did advanced graduate study at Oberlin Graduate School of Theology, the University of Oslo, the University of Chicago, and the Chicago Lutheran Seminary. Dr. Halverson left these words with the seniors who left Buena Vista at the year ' s end, We expect great things from you as you begin to carve your niche in the work of our needy world. WE88ELINK NAMED V-P FOR STUDENT AFFA o Dr. William D. Wesselink served with distinction in his first year as Vice-President in charge of Student Affaii post created in 1966. Dr. Wesselink brought a jreal wealth of experience to the new office. His office wai 11 charge of coordinating and overseeing the work of the Dean of Women and Dean of Men and assisting in the guidance of students in areas of personal and academic problems. Dr. Wesselink also was in charge of the com- mittee which allocated student aid. He also proved very helpful to campus organizations by assisting them in solving their many problems. Dr. Wesselink received his B.A. degree from Central College in 1931 with a major in mathematics. In 1932 he was graduated from the University of Iowa with a major in education, and since then he has done additional grad- uate work at the University of Iowa and Minnesota Uni- versity. In 1960 he received an LL.D. from Centra! College. Prior to his appointment as the head of Student Affairs, he taught junior high school and junior college math.

As Vice-President in charge of business affairs, Mr. Zalesky (known to those around him as Mr. Z ) had a wide variety of duties and responsibilities. He estimated the income of the College and helped to set-up a budget for the entire year. Since there were fewer students than had been estimated during the 1966-67 year, Mr. Zalesky had a difficult task in trying to keep the budget balanced. Mr. Zalesky ' s office was also in charge of keeping the ac- counts of all of the College organizations, as well as keep- ing all of the financial records for the College and pre- paring financial statements for the Board of Trustees and other groups.

The staff members of this Diamond Anniversary issue of the BUENA VISTA LOG respectfully present it as a record of progress to, for. and about the students of BUENA VISTA COL- Jhis has indeed been a year of change for Buena Vista, and we hope that this book reflects those changes. If it faithfully does that, the hours of work to produce it will have been well worth while. It is our hope that these pages will bring back fond memories to you year after year. Putting a yearbook together is no easy task and the entire staff ' deserves a great deal of thanks for the hours the members con- tributed to make this book what it is. I would like to add special thanks to Copy Editor Rick Brenzo, Special Assistant Charles Pendleton, the Buntrock-Salie Studio, Public Relations Director Johnnie Powell, Log Advisor Professor James Brophy, American Yearbook Company representative Vic Eaton, and to my family who joined the Log staff unofficially after school was out to help in the final preparation. STEVEN R. SMITH Editor m A LOOK AHEAD A yearbook is, by its very nature, chiefly concerned with the immediate past, but part of the value of examining the past is in its application to the future, so we ask ourselves what the events of the seventy-fifth year mean to the future of Buena Vista College. The physical plant of the College is extremely important, and we are happy and proud to see giant steps being taken to improve the physical part of the institution. More important than the plant is the quality of the professional staff and the student body the College is able to attract. The Buena Vista policy must be to continue to engage the high quality professors we have had the honor and privilege to study under during the 1966-67 year. Good professors attract and enthuse good students. ■ ■ The trend in colleges throughout the country is toward students gaining a greater voice in the operation of their schools. Picketing, sit-ins, parades, and riots on some campuses, have branded the trend as a revolution. Realizing that no one of the three main groups concerned with the College operation — the Administration, the Faculty, the Students — can progress at the expense of the others, evolution rather than revolution has been and should continue to be the factor of change at Buena Vista. As the students gain a larger voice in the affairs and operation of the College they must accept their voice with mature responsibility. How Buena Vista meets the challenge of change will decide the fulfillment of the well chosen Diamond Anniversary motto— FROM GOODNESS TO GREA TNESS COLLEGE MOURNED PA99ING OF TRU9TEE TOM D. EILER8 Buena Vista College was saddened on October 2, 1966. to learn of the passing of one of the true leaders of the College, Mr. Tom D. Eilers. Mr. Eilers was active in community and service activities and he was well lown for his humanitarian and charitable works. The lost a good friend with Mr. Eiler ' s passing. The men of the College who knew him gave us some greai sights into this remarkable man. Paul W. Dixon said. V e have worked together for seventeen years and it h a joy and satisfaction to work with him in solving our many problems. Tom Eilers was a man who succeo :d because he had a clear idea of what he wanted to acco nplish and because he set the example of how a thing sh uld be done to those who worked with him and for him and he did what he undertook to do well. We on the Buena Vista Board feel not only a sense of privation and frustration in our planning for the de- velopment of the College without his advice, but also a deep personal loss. Dr. Howard A. Pierce, another member of the Board said. He was always involved in some project of benefit to his community and he was a man who backed his projects with material aid. He was a staunch friend of this College. As a personal friend he was unsurpassed. Dr. William D. Wesselink. speaking for the entire College said, He was a man of humility, with a com- mon touch; a man with interest in youth: a counselor for adults, and a true and loyal friend. He had the courage of his convictions and the diplomacy to present opposing ideas without creating antagonism. 168
