FALL FLINGS: BOOKS TO BRUISES The colors dotted the campus trees with a tinge of beauty as they fell to the ground only to be captured by the students on their various so- journs around campus. The autumn season is noted for its activities it brings to the area. The football season is analogous to fall as the Red- men clash with their ACM opponents on many brisk fall afternoons at Ingalls field. The aca- demic world crops its head as Lane Library began greeting her new tenants for the fall season. Within her walls the rustling of pages somehow combined with the rhetoric of the professors’ to incite the students to begin their studies. Par- ent’s Day on November 1 brought the migration of parents onto the Ripon campus to bring tid- ings of cheer to their children. Parties sprouted up everywhere as the Merriman's annual corn roast brought many students to their doorstep to enjoy good company, good beer, and good mu- sic. The Bartlett-Mapes party provided another outlet for enjoyment as the Quads became the scene of enjoyment and the aroma of the smell of corn wafted through the air. But the most spectacular of events was nature's magic herself as she seemed to weave her colors into the cam- pus and the students. Bowen's Woods and South Woods became a source of wonder as the leaves seemed to warn the students of the sub-zero months ahead for them. 20 Student Life

Somehow amidst a crowd wo are still able to ponder within our thoughts and think out another day. Patricia Whitney. Ripon. Wl Phasing our glances into the could-have-been sometimes the reality of today becomes transpar ent. Dan Kuh, Concord. MA RIPON LETS Owing to our capacity to think out a problem or create Illusions of idyllic promise, our faces reveal our mood. Alice Anthony, Menomenee Falls. Wi We are the possessors of the most expressive weapon ever created - the human face. It's various shapes and sizes can alter the mood of the day through a salient smile or a somber gaze. Perhaps here at Ripon we are the carbon copies of the ex- pressions issued daily by students of the various colleges throughout the country. But in and of it- self, each movement of the face's lines reflects a mood prevailing on the campus. After a drilling by a professor in a semi- nar, a late night session with the typewriter and the coffee, after a re- freshing conversation with a friend in the Pub, or after a minute of medi- tation, we all dictate a moment and a mood. Through these motions we begin to discover not only ourselves but others through their reaction to our feelings. Amidst the chaotic chorus of flustered thoughts we define what it is to be sad, jubilant, serious, or just simply beauti- ful. This is the Ripon College student in mood, expressed through pictures and words.
