Students wept unashamedly as professors canceled clas- ses with voices that were barely audible. News spreads quickly on the Valley campus and within minutes all knew what had happened. Few believed it. Students raced to the parking lots and their car radios. KLVA broadcast the tragedy to the Quad area as speakers spread the gloom over the cafeteria. Immediately following the announcement of the President's death, the Star Spangled Banner was played. This time it meant something. Hundreds of times we had heard this majestic piece before, but somehow this was the first time it carried such meaning. Deans and students stood around that iiagpole and once the Hag rested at half staff everyone drifted off as somber as he had come. It's hard to watch your professor cry. All my life someone has leaned over to say, It isn't as bad as all that. No one leaned over this time, and no one said anything, Ex-Sceptre editor Frank Kaplan captured the personal magnetism of the late President during Mr. Kennedy's campaign Tour Through the San Fernando Valley. il, K1 N1 PES: ki i
