When vacation-refreshed Exonians returned to the frost- bitten campus, a solid, Cinder-block wall warned them of things to come. The wall divided the gym's locker room to provide co-educational facilities for the summer school, but an APC proposal to build a girls' campus foreboded more extensive construction. Because of interference with television within a three hundred yard radius of the station, WPEA sadly left the air. Seniors then found audio-visual diversions in the smoke-Hlled senior grille, or at Van's Culinary watching Hullabaloo and Shindig come over the tube. Sweeping over campus like a blight of locusts, the custo- mary winter epidemic overcame so many students that the Lamont Infirmary Annex had to be evacuated to accom- modate a large infiux of flu cases. Then another infliction set in, when an erstwhile YAFer started rumors of Communist infiltration into the Art De- partment. Rumors were amplified when the AFL of APC came out with its March lst Manifesto. Representing the opinion of Alumni and diehard students, a faction of con- servative trustees deferred ruling on the bill. Although the main issue was coeducation, the bill contained such sub- versive riders as programs for simplified grading, a four quarter school year, and extensive student manual labor to be supervised by Senior Commissars. Any fear about the increasing power of the APC was al- layed temporarily by their new innovation to lessen the stagnancy of a New Hampshire winter, the long weekend. Returning from an invigorating weekend, many seniors and uppers faced a mental dilemma, the History 4 term paper. Thanks to the No-Doz company and the foresight of the History Department in requiring two preliminary reports, the bulk of the term papers were handed in on time. The exceptions were a few procrastinating Seniors who, defying all prescribed methods, finished the month's work in a one night tour de force. At the Pacific Coast Club's Winter Dance, a hundred and ten couples frenetically jerked to the music of the Manhat- tans, in a Valentine-strewn chapel. Because of student apathy over the Visiting Fellow Pro- gram in past years, not one, but many authorities came to Exeter for a student and faculty organized period called Africa Week. This Hve day period included classes, meals, lectures, and informal discussions with four specialists and 22 ten students from seven African nations. Even those cynics who said that they could not care less about Africa were converted either by interest or by required attendances. David Rubadiri, the ambassador from the newly estab- lished nation of Malawi, delivered the closing oration of the week, in which he urged Exonians to become con- cerned and involved with Africa. In the Academy chapel with its poor accoustics, the Dra- mat managed to put on a successful, slapstick comedy The Inspector General. Some devoted thespians in the student body were willing to play the female roles of the play which they did with amazing ease. It was predicted that Andover and Exeter would split winter sports. Three-three. Predictions came true when we lost a hard-fought hockey game, were routed in swimming, and shut out in squash. In return a powerful Red Track Team swept seven of eleven events to trounce Andover 68- 18. Wrestling and basketball both gained easy wins over the Blue. With the term coming to a close, a day long torrent of rain melted the winter,s snow, left lakes across campus, and slimed the Academy with mud-luscious, When the waters had receded, the sunny atmosphere, purged of winter, spawned dozens of sidewalk surfers who gleefully Hhung fiveu down Academy paths until the Dean took their skateboards away.
