IFC, the first big Weekend of the year, came early in November with the traditional dance in the SUB, fraternity parties, and football game. The Friday night formal had as its theme, Sayonara, depicted by a Iapanese' tea house, garden, and Oriental food cooked over Kabachis. The atmosphere was heightened by the music of Billy Butterfield and his nationally famous band. Excitement grew as ll:O0 approached and seven Coeds were escorted down the aisle. Karen Gran finally appeared as the l96l IFC Queen chosen to reign over the Weekend festivities. Varied themes were displayed by the fraternities on Saturday night to turn their houses into exotic far away places. Elaborate decorations centered around such themes as Around the World in Eighty Days, Parisian Cafe, South Pacific, and the conflict over East and West Berlin. The weekend ended on Sunday as the imports climbed on the buses, fraternity pledges cleaned up the houses, and coeds turned reluctantly once again to the book shelves, counting the days until Thanks- giving vacation.

Gettysburg broadens its horizons CoHee hours in the SUB provide an opportunity to discuss the ideas presented at morning convocations. Throughout the school year there is opportunity to strengthen the channels of communication, apprecia- tion, and knowledge between the individual student and the outside World. The convocation program was a varied presentation of science, politics, art, philosophy, and student affairs, as well as musical programs ranging from a neighboring university band to India's satirist virtuoso, The Civil War Conference brought us closer to our American heritageg the African delegation gave us insight into world problems. With exhibitions oi student and professional art in the chapel basement, with the exquisite pieces of the oriental collection on display in the library, with the subscription films and the campus dramatic productions, with the concert series and student recitals, the student body had ample opportunity to grow in the appreciation and enjoyment ot cultural achievement. During Religious Emphasis Week. Gettysburg took a closer look at the Image oi Man and his problems in the modern world. Students became active participants in the bettering of the world's educational situation during the WUS campaign-combined with the fun of the bazaar was the deeper pleasure that comes from sharing with those less fortunate than ourselves. During the last year Gettysburg has made great strides in the field of cultural awareness. The opera comes to Gettysburg in a presentation ot Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutti.
