Readers, who through reperusals and recollections are more interested in the general impression than the spe- cific experience. As a digest of college days, this year ' s Epitome does chronicle the bedlam of the Lehigh-Lafayette game with the ensuing con- fusion of policy, edict, and attitude on the parts of everyone; the great Norman Thomas con- troversy wherein an aging radical was able to rouse the thirst for academic freedom on the parts of a studentry generally ignorant of what he was going to say, anyway; and Bethlehem Steel ' s lux- urious Research Center which remains rather secretly in construction on a scar of a clearing atop the mountain and among the trees.

Equally energetic are the clubs of aviation, hockey, sailing, and skiing, organizations whose members are sincere enough to pay for their in- terests in a particular sport. A recent campaign to become school sponsored surprised many highly placed and formerly dubious University officials with the earnestness of the members of the Hockey Club. That the team is still a club, virtually un- aided by University funds, is not a commentary on the strength of their drive, but an example of the inscrutability of administrative policies. Among the living groups, the residence halls Arcadia is the central body of student government at Lehigh. Here some of its members are seen in the midst of one of the often arduous bi-weekly meetings. After days of careful vigilance the Class of ' 63 bonfire is finally ablaze. Luckily the conflagration was at the hands of a Lehigh man and not a rival Lafayette student. The fire makes a fitting finish for the pep rally preceding the big game. m ■ ■» J »lF| -j
