Open House SOMETHING NEW - In the fall, the Associated Student Body took over for its offices one of the many residences the college has been acquiring in its expansion program. Suddenly freed from the narrow confines of a drawer in Mrs. Merrick ' s office, the ASB leaders exulted in their new-found space. Judy St. Jean had a whole sleeping porch for her publicity litter. AMS and AWS Presidents Bill Gallaher and Joy Defenbaugh shared an of- fice with no one but each other, while Freshman and Sophomore Prexies Walt Maciborski and Wayne Hendrickson similarly luxuriated in new quarters. ASB President John Motte and Vice- president Carol Ashmore each had desks in the big living room, which also served as an Executive Board meeting room. At Christmas time the de- lighted ASB officers invited all students to open house to inspect their facilities. LARRY JACKSON appears to be more interested in the refreshments than checl ing out the new ASB offices. MRS. MARY JANE MERRICK and Dean Leonard Metcalf appear to be enjoying the Inspection of the new ASB offices on Riverside Drive. Open house was held during Christmas time and refreshments were served. 21

I Wassai STUDENTS gather around the goodies table to stock up on Christmas snacks at the annual Wassail. CHRISTMAS CHEER - Now one of the most cher- ished traditions of the Yuietide season, the Wassail has become one of the college ' s best attended events. Following the annual Christmas assembly, it finds everyone in the proper holiday spirit, and it helps keep them that way. Students pour out of the auditorium into the Quad, where they throng around tables tastefully decorated in seasonal motifs. Here they are served gaily dec- orated cookies and — of course — wassail. Some- what less invigorating than the concoction that delighted our Anglo-Saxon forebears, it is a none- theless tasty draught of apple cider (not too hard) cinnamon, pineapple juice, and other exotic in- gredients. Served hot, and with the gentle mur- mur of a filled Quadrangle, wassail makes a un- ique contribution to the holiday season. P THE ANNUAL AWS Christmas Wassail is always a treat for College students. Shown here enioying hot punch are Dona Hawkins, Phyllis Howard, and Ivye Lewis.

-1 ' I li r The Royalty of BIG EVENT of the winter soc ial season is the Dream Date Formal. Preceding the dance is the spirited campaign to determine who campus voters feel would be the ideal dates. Machiavel- lian indeed are the discussions that take place in fraternity and sorority meetings as members whom to honor with their nomination. Once the commitment is made, supporters fan out on campus, seeking converts through impassioned sales talks delivered in private conversations or to luncheon groups in the Pit. Posters, some matter of fact, some witty, some sheer works of art, and nearly all the candidates ' picture with the best profile turned artfully toward the camera, add color to the campus scene. As election day draws near, the faithful venture forth wearing lapel badges or other symbols of their favorite. Finally all there is to do is vote and then wait for the big night when the results will be made known and the Dream Date King and Queen crowned. HER ROYAL HIGHNESS - Carol Ashmore, KU sponsor- ed, reigned as Dream Date Queen. DANCE TIME - Ouch! Get off my foot! The blonde didn ' t really say it, but she must have thought it. That was iust about the only contingency that AWS didn ' t foresee, however, when it planned the Dream Date. A minor mis-step such as this could scarcely mar such an evening as this, however. ? 22
