-N men Counil PUBHC uhm, 900 Webster SUN' PO BOX 2270 l can wgynq, iN 46801-2270 The year of 1969-70 has been rightfully labeled a time of Col- lege Unrest. Students all over the world became armies, marching on their administration buildings demanding their rights and march- ing on the Capitol building in Washington pleading for peace. Although Eastern Illinois University is somewhat sheltered in the heart of Illinois, it shed its wallflower image and showed the world that it, too, has a dynamic side to its personality. In the Spring of 1969, there were the usual panty raids, mud fights, and golf-course antics of earlier years but the wheel of change was turning rapidly at Eastern. President Quincy Doudna's Black recruitment pIan was set in motion and under his guidance, plans for a new football stadium and women's dormitory became realities. A new breed of students at Eastern, generally labeled Hippies, in- troduced a new celebration to the campus, Freak Week, and school soon came to a close with the awarding of the l5,000th education degree at commencement on May 25. Summer school was lively with an enrollment of 4,038. This increase in enrollment from other years may have been due to the new University policy that Summer tuition was very low. While these ambitious Eastern students were studying hard or cooling off at lke's or Sporty's, the world outside was experiencing unique sensations. America had done the impossible and sent three men to the moon and back on earth, the Now Generation was rocking away their problems at a fantastic festival in Woodstock, New York. Parents who enrolled their offspring at Eastern, Fall of 1969, were informed that old traditions had been revised and now their daughters had restrictions only as first-quarter freshmen. Parents were also told that their children could be expelled from the Univer- sity if they involved themselves in any violent protest activity. Despite these factors and the threat of an employees strike, Eastern began its Fall quarter with a force of 7,887 students. This quarter proved to be one of the most unsettling and yet beneficial periods in Eastern's history. The University scored points in areas it had never touched before. The students themselves seemed to be less apathetic and more concerned about the many issues at hand. They expressed both resent- ment and approval when a young co-ed was dropped from teacher's education because of a drug-possession conviction. Politics also became a debate-worthy topic with the resignation of the student body president. The students were awakened to the fact that their student government was not the circus they believed it to be. Although the student body voted down a proposal for a S2 fee hike that was in- tended to provide scholarships for underpriviledged students, at least a record number of students voted. World politics also became a maior concern on Eastern's campus and on November 15 many students participated in the nation-wide Moratorium. The University held classes that day and continued its normal proceedings, but many faculty members and students partic- ipated inthe lectures, discussions, and peace marches.
