Something Better Every spring for the past five years the residence halls at ISU have opened their doors to high school students. Something Better was chosen as a theme for Residence Hall Week 72. Some 800 visiting students spent the weekend living in the residence halls. This year the Central Committee chose Cerebral Palsy for its service proiect with proceeds being donated to this program. This year for the first time a queen was not chosen. Instead, a proud princess was presented by King Dick Martin at the convocation. The prin- cess, Jill Berkamp, was the poster girl for Cerebral Palsy. Convocation speaker was Sorrel Chesin, assistant vice president for student affairs at the State University of New York. Traditional events of the convocation included toppings into the residence .hall honoraries, and the awarding of scholarships and best house awards. Activities during the week included a car rally, International 500, intra- murals and several Cerebral Palsy programs. The weekend proved to be the busiest with campus tours, the carnival, open houses, dances and the highlight of the week, a sell-out concert by Bread ancl Rare Earth in Hilton Coliseum on Saturday night.
