On the Friday immedi- ately preceding the week of conferences and seminars, the Student Body, in co- operation with the adminis- tration, held a Twilight BuHet and a concert, fea- turing Chad 'and Jeremy. The bullet was a huge suc- cess, with the candle-lit tables filling the entire area between Chandler, Page, Winnett, and Firestone Qbottomj. Almost all the undergraduates QLes King and friend at rightj at- tended with their dates, an almost unheard of turn-out, and many of the faculty and Institute guests also enjoyed the excellent food. The mu- sic for dining was provided by four wandering min- strels. After the dinner, many of the more-than- eight-hundred guests made their way to Beckman Au- ditorium for the concert. 8 l But even as the football team was playing out its last games, other things were beginning to happen. For this year was the seventy- Hfth anniversary of the In- stitute, and the adminisrta- tion, aided by a student planning committee, had set up a week-long celebration of the event. Preceding the week of festivities was an Institute-financed dance in the Student Center. And then it was almost a Lost Weekend in October.

CTI ITIE First term opened with the traditional pagean- try of college football. For the first time in many years, a large bonfire was built, and a rally held to boost the spirit of both the team and the root- ers. To the bewilderment of many, there were also three beautiful girls to lead the rooting sec- tion. The girls added much to the gametime ex- citement. The team had the benefit of two new coaches, Tom Gutman Qabovej and Dean Bond, and also saw the returning talents of Lonnie Martin and Tom Burton. As usual, injuries plagued the team, leaving it to Hnish without Martin, who made all league end anyway, and runner John Fraz- zini. Though the team remained winless for the past two seasons, this year many Techmen had the forgotten pleasure of taking a date to one of the homegames in the Rose Bowl and being able to say We just might win this onef' ,i W. b .

nf' 'ix V sb Yi, y -AA LL The concert, featuring Chad and Jeremy, turned out to be a great success too, although the group had a somewhat limited appeal on the stage. Unfortunately, the af- fair was made non-reserved and open to the public, so that em- barrassed faculty and students had to fight their way through the mob of local teeny-boppers and Sunset- strip types that had begun lining up at the doors early in the after- noon. However, once inside, most peo- ple found that they enjoyed the rest of the night, for the weak, slightly harmonized sound that the group produces is a popular one. Certainly the performance was a colorful end to a very pleasant eve- ning, though just a hint of the pag- eantry to come on the morrow.
