v SIMPLE road sign may point the traveler to Manhattan and through the maze of traffic to the football stadium. Once here, though, the traveler sees other signs, more subtle in their di- rections. These signs still tell him, This is Kansas State University, its campus and its students. 1

Color photos by David von Riesen Signs, obvious or subtle, bring memories of ' 66 to life o ' J.N memory, at least, students ' lives at K-State are marked by signs, dimly outlining the time spent here as a series of coherent incidents. Some of the signs are obvious and easy to remember, as the first roommate. Others are more subtle, requiring an as- sociation to bring back the memories. Together they are the experiences that make University life here unique. From the tranquility of Anderson ' s carillon to the harshness of Vietnam ' s Iron Triangle, from discussions of aca- demic freedom to re-evaluation of in- dividual rights these contrasts are signs that students are becoming involved more with the world and the world with them. Our world grows smaller. A few long weekends, their passing marked by sour stomachs and burning eyes, may melt into 100 just alike. How- ever, a walk past the concrete that marks the burned auditorium won ' t diminish the memory of the auditorium. That memory is too unique to fade quickly. This 1966 Royal Purple emphasizes signs both those that say clearly, This is Kansas State University 1966 and those that say more subtly, This campus is a part of us and we of it.
