PEACE MARCH Lake Forest, Illinois is not the usual place for demonstrations of any nature. But on October 19 when thousands marched in Washington, New York, and San Francis- co in protest ofthe War in Viet Nam some 150 LFC students walked peacefully around the Village Square. Carrying an array of protest signs, the students and faculty marched in silence while townspeo- ple looked on curiously. Comments ranged from Just what the Commies wanted and Send someone to the college to talk to these people to Very nice, very good. On the way back to campus the marchers were escorted by a Lake Forest policeman, who stated that he was simply there to protect the students.

CGA For those who take student government seriously, The Community Government Association, under the vibrant if tranquil leadership of President Joel Stronberg, was a relative success. Relative, in the sense that 1967-68 CGA did about as much as any previous administration. It successfully demonstrated that the stu- dents do not like to associate themselves with long hairs and hippies who wish to destroy free speech by banning recruiters of that munihcent and freedom loving in- stitution A the U. S. Marine Corps. After preserving free speech in that fashion, CGA moved to revise it's constitution ta- gainj. Under the driving leadership ofVice President Nick Bauman. the revolutionary new blue prints for progress never got to the floor of that distinguished body of leg- islators. The only real winner in CGA this year was the perennial champion. Sturgis. whose famed Rules of Order caused enough chaos to whet the tempers of all.
