Campus Day says its one of those fun packed week- ends for students, with floats, songfests and dancing. O V o A ULcfarffctt ...( Ujl feri woi Chorus lines, comic skits, music combos — Pork Barrel — only one of the many KSU activities. What about the Fourth Estate, the land of make believe, the government — for the people, of the people, by the people, the Greek invasion, the Twin bands, the Fite Team Fite, the Campus Day parade, the tux and the long dress, the name bands, the air ways, the field trips and the New York caravan; and the many more student activities. What about them? Tops, of course! The best to be sure! From the first day — every day — today, student activities! That ' s the Kent way. Students write, act, govern, present with pride, discuss, debate, search, find, play, engage in the affairs of the intellect, cling to the morality codes, reaffirm faith in eternal verities and follow straight paths in the pursuit of happiness. Of course, there is history, always history! From bulletin board notices came the printed sheet — the Kent Stater. First a weekly; now a daily! From a thin booklet (The Kentonian) came the Chestnut Burr. First a modest picture book; now a spectacular volume! From the impromptu stage shows, cooked up over night, came the University Theater with presentations comparable to Broadway produc- tions. 23

From small groups of fast-talking corridor poli- ticians came stude nt government and a plan for statutes and procedures. From gatherings of like-minded students in rooms, under trees, or around tables came fraterni- ties and sororities — first local and now national. From evening dances in Moulton Hall to music by three students who could hit the same notes at least half the time, came the proms, the Top Hop and splendiferous affairs, featuring tails, white ties and dreamy, lacy creations. From a single-file parade of students carrying lanterns came the wonderful Campus Day parade. nings; Yes, this is Kent. Built from a wonderful dream and a perfect blueprint. Years have passed and years will pass but what Kent was, is, and will be, gives substance to an epic tale about a glorious achievement in the human struggle for perfection of body, mind and soul. Tonight and every night, the child of the child of the first coed will say God Bless Mom, God Bless Dad and God Bless Kent. No University could ask for more. - - Sfc S r . • IS - - ..
