Pace For Pakistan Nearly 70 Monmoutli College students became involved with a cause by walking 16 miles for the Pakistani Refugee Relief Fund on a raining October 24, 1971. The marchers were pledged a certain amount of money per mile by other con- cerned individuals. The walkers departed as a group from the Student Center around 9:00 that Sunday morning. They marched to Coldbrook Church where they were served re- freshments by Saga. After relaxing their weary bodies, a slow procession of marchers headed home. Through their efforts almost SI 200 was raised to be converted into food- stuffs, clothing, medicines, and other desperately needed items for the Pakistani refugees. Though their feet were tired and their clothing wet, these students showed that they really cared. Dianne Randall, Brcnda Van Drie, and Tommy Mayer trudge on through the rain. Al Walker and Johanna Lee relax in the Styx after the 16 mile hike. Braving mist and mud, the marchers walk onward for the Pakistani cause. 27

MC Students Protest After President Nixon ' s speech in the spring stating his position on the mining of the Haiphong Harbor, students began relatively peaceful protests on campus. The student center remained open during the night for students to voice their opinions after Nixon declared his stand. During the following days a vote was taken of the student body and it was determined that Monmouth College would go on record in Washington as On Strike. However, classes continued uninterrupted. In a rally held in the gymnasium, various guests, faculty members and students gave their pros and cons on Nixon ' s decision to an audience of MC students. In the photo above, students are shown following a march through the town square and campus. Below, students are pictured outside the student center as they protest in a quiet, but striking manner. 26

BLINKY is seen most as he is being banished from the Student Center. However, here he has managed to escape all foes and relaxes on the Coffee House sofa. Fellow Friends LADY has gained fame on campus for her love of motorcycles. She insists on chasing every cycle and rider that comes within ear shot. ■ ' Good grief! I just flunked Miss Liedman ' s speech class, again! An alleged prophet once stated that man ' s best friend is the dog. One could not choose a place better than the Monmouth College campus to prove this statement. It seems as if student life is constantly being complicated by the barking canine friends who inhabit every place of residence. The Beatle ' s song, Here, There, and Everywhere certainly applies to the habitually underfoot phylum chordata, subphylum vertebrata, class mammalia, order carnivore, species canine, or more simply, the dog. WINDSOR looks around for fellow friends, whether they be canine or human. 28
