A Day Of Victories, Nostalgia And Rain B 0th the Greencastle rains and alumni Flooded DePauw's campus on Old Gold Day October 17. But while the rains were uninvited, the alumni were warmly welcomed to DePauw's annual celebration of the University's past and present. Originating in 1907 as an alternative to the spirit-boosting class fights, Old Gold Day has drawn alumni, students, administration, faculty, and friends to- gether even in the worst of weather. This year, under cloudy skies, crowds watched two fitting celebrations of DePauw's past and present, a Tiger gridiron victory and the rededication of the restored campus centerpiece, East College. After five and one half years of fund raising and 18 months of intensive labor, nearly 700 persons gathered in East College's historic auditorium, Meharry Hall, for the building's rededication ceremonies. Much like the first dedication in 1877, O God, Through Countless Words of Light was sung. President Richard Rosser was one of the eight speakers who commented on the significance of the day. East College is more than just another building. Its restoration is symbolic of the essence of the University. Just as we gave East College its rebirth in 1981, De- Pauw is reborn every year as one class graduates and a new class arrives. De- Pauw is a living thing, and East College is at its heart.' Many of those at the rededication cere- 'monies attended a luncheon that after- noon in Bowman Gymnasium where the Old Gold Goblet was presented to Ches- ter Elson, Class of 1936. Elson was in- strumental in the Universityhs efforts to build the 7.2 million dollar Lilly Physical Education and Recreation Center. He and the members of DePauw's 1933 un- defeated football team raised over two million dollars for the Neal Fieldhouse, named in honor of their coach, the late Raymond Gaumey Neal. As the 415t recipient of the Old Gold Goblet, Elson presided as grand marshall 0f the Old Gold Day parade from Bow- man Gymnasium to Blackstock Stadium. At Blackstock DePauw defeated Denison 31-14 despite torrents of rain. Another victory of the day was when Jill Aufderbeck was crowned Old Gold Queen: Aufderbeck represented Delta Gamma sorority. Back at Meharry Hall, three of De- Pauw's musical groups celebrated the day's victories with entertainment. The Men of Note, the Collegians and the De- Pauw Jazz Ensemble presented 'Ringing in Tradition Through the Years as the Lou Giaser

,r 5; Studertt LMfaire Office L hese are the best four years of your life. Students have heard that said at least once during their col- lege careers. But sometimes, college life was not as carefree as the adage claimed. For some students, living away from the securities of home made even the small- est problems more overwhelming. When problems became too difficult to handle alone, students relied on the counseling services of the Student Af- fairs Office. As the main counseling staff, Tom and Carol Amer helped stu- dents deal with difficulties that included dating crises, roommate conflicts, and eating disorders. This year, in addition to professional counseling, students could turn to peer counseling. Under the direction of the Arners, 10 fraternities and sororities par- ticipated in peer counseling programs that trained students to help members of their living units who were troubled. J can Claar, dean of students, pointed out that while resident advisers and her pro- fessional staff members handled prob- lems in the dorms, We had too little contact if there was a problem in a tfra- ternity or sororityl house. Tom Amer agreed, adding they have tried to identify the kind of people who are already serving in an informal coun- seling role for people in their living units. These selected students participated in a three and a half day training session in early fall. Case studies and role playing were used to - teach basic counseling skills - listening, responding, and re- ferring. While all of DePauw's fraternities and sororities contributed to the program's plans, not all of the houses Chose to par- ticipate this year. Dean Claar said an im- mediate goal was to have all living units participate in the program. -by Barbara Wolfe and Lisa Sensel NOTE: Quotes and information for this article were taken from The DePauw Parents Newsletter, fall 1981 issue.
