The campus once again burst into life early in September as students flowed into Ames. The largest freshman class in recent years hailed the success of an active summer orientation program. New looks on campus included the start of a library wing, a Service Building wing, and partially or completely remodeled residences. A handmade telescope twenty-four inches in diameter was donated to the university. Over 9,700 students smiled at the birdie as photo identification cards became a permanent part of Iowa State. TVomen's hours were extended thirty minutes on three week nights. Iowa State student Tom Kenworthy spearheaded a drive to allow students to vote in Ames, but his petition and court appeals were not successful. IVilliam Hartmann was one of thirty-two students in the nation to be selected a Rhodes Scholar to study at Oxford University in England. He is the second Iowa State student to receive this two-year scholarship. A new stadium arrangement made it possible for students to sit with their parents at home games. KMRI started operating with a new radio transmitter, and Station A became the Iowa State University Station post oflice. Another year, like other years but different, was off to a fresh start holding the promise of new goals to reach and new honors to win. 4t .. , .vt.--,...-. gs af A . -. -with 7 , -rf.

THE MEMORIAL UNION fountain is another campus tradition. Nancy Longworth and Don Scott stop beside it awhile on a typical warm fall afternoon. A SYMBOL of tradition and a time- piece for the campus, the carillon is played each morning and afternoon by music professor lra Schroeder. A GRAPE-LIKE CLUSTER of purple balloons tempts fra- ternity members at Bacchanale. The dance marked the end of Greek Week, September 21 through 24.
