We will give the world a Beauty that it has never seen . . . nor heard. For no longer will we be contained within ourselves . . . but we will join together to probe the universe . . . to know the unknown. For there is nothing small . . . nothing unimportant where all are a part of the whole. Towards the dreams we dream . . . the plans we make . . . and the Hope that sustains us. It is not our circumstances today that determines what we will be, but what we do with what we have that really matters. So we will not cower before poverty, physical handicaps, nor spiritual decadence. For. . . man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a Spirit capable of compassion and endurance. ” Moody Center — a hub of activity — a place to relax Dorm life for women is one of “un” privacy Registration — do not fold, spindle or mutilate Freshmen remove beanies at All-School Picnic ulty and administration to enjoy each other's ball, football, baseball and just goofing off on Alpha Week, elections, talent show introduce frosh to college life _1JH McClellan, Cox, Band, win AKPsi bicycle race BSU and AKPsi. in a one-lap final with Sherry Cox taking the women's champion- Tau Alpha Phi, Tri Phi win All-School Sing Cindy Harrison crowned queen during coronation ceremonies H-SU donates 260 pints of blood during annual drive Frank Pollard speaks to students during revival session was held in Hunter Hall.
