And Rockford College, in its l2Oth yeor, worked hord to ochieve it. There were lectures ond discussion groups. There were hours of reoding in the librory ond of cromming in o dorm room-ond dll becouse there vvos so much to leorn ond seemingly so little time. 2 :4 .T J 0 11 , 3 .4 gf, ., M A M, W if , ,, I ' .Af ' 7 F ' W V ,K , Z a ...p Q' 'N 3 and 'W W5 W rw, I swf A., But besides challenging inquisitive minds, Rockford College feels an obligation to afford its students opportunities to express themselves creatively. So the fine arts were represented with plays, operas, and dance performances. Yet not neglected was another more physical means of expression-athletics whether in an informal touch football game or in organized varsity competi- tion. 4 .9-414 T if 7 1 , , , ffm 'Xjf Wm is J 4 If Wfqbblv Q L 4 -2' f of .6 Q in 5 44 A 2, W' i - 'W . , if G f ' , . r f H My 4, 9 ,-.1 .1 V , ww .,..,,,,,m. i t V , I i f ' ' I ' , , fi pls: ' fm ff' We ' 1, ' A ,, Aix 5 .1 Yet there hos to be time on every college compus for fun, too.

Much of the re-evaluation centered around deter- mining what a student could expect from a liberal arts college and how RC in particular could meet those expectations. Thus the cur- riculum was re-vomped, and the Winterim , a month of intensive study, was introduced for the '67-68 school year. But perhaps the best indication of the college's continuous search for self-improvement was not the curriculum, but rather the rising library and science building, which symbolized a unified campus.

To Build Thinking, Feeling Beings Man is a Thinking and feeling being. Therefore, the College seeks to confirm in each student a concern for truth, a respect for fact, the habit of inquiry, the practice of intellectual discipline, and the art of creative expression. This is the task of Rockford Dr. Gordon Ross answers student questions on WRCR. Jan Hodge mixes with students in a serious game of Hearts. Knox Fowler chats with students over coffee in the snack bar. Faculty, students .and administrators work together to plan Focus on the City. I6 College, and the maiority of the burden falls upon the College's faculty. And RC's faculty continuously seeks new and better methods of providing challenges that make their students think and feel The curriculum is not a static thing, but one that is continuously examined and reworked in order to provide the potimal amount of intellectual and social stimulation for the students. Art Adair serves pizza as art students raise money for floodstricken Florence, Italy. Faculty relax over lunch. i7 .af But their function is not limited to the formal academic structure of RC. The faculty teaches in the snack bar and in committee meetings as well as in the classroom. Discussions over a game of hearts or at a faculty-student dinner, questions answered on a radio program, coffee or a drink with a maior pro- fessor provide viewpoints that would not be relevant in another situation. ,AI f' I vi' gn' i gui ,sul gil ,gn ,nl ,nl .nl gov '4!l'l Dr. Mary Braginton, First Lady of Rockford College. l i Q '.

Murder in the Cathedral T. S. Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral was Knox Fowler's third play of the year. To enhance the religious atmosphere of Eliot's work, which deals with the last days of St. Thomas a Becket, the play was produced in the new Unitarian Church. The play tells of Becket's struggle against King Henry II after re- signing his position as Chancellor to become Archbishop of Canterbury. He renounces things material, including the friendship of the king to follow the higher commands of God, and therefore is killed by the king. The play's major significance comes perhaps in the closing speeches of the four knights who have murdered Becket. These speeches provide rationalizations for the murder, and can easily be applied to much behavior of our own age.

Dido is consoled by one of her handmaidens. Purcell's Dido and Aeneas was the first of two operas produced by Richard Gofton in coniunction with the Rockford Mendelssohn Club. Orchesis and Chorus were both involved in the production, which tells the love story of Aeneas, hero of Troy, and Dido, Queen of Carthage. Among the unique features of the opera were its costuming-women in Indian saris and men in modern sailor's dress-and the smoothly rhythmic dances choreographed by Miss Jayne Poor. One of Gotton's own works was performed in the spring. Entitled The Journey, the opera tells the story of the journey of a mentally retarded girl to utopia. Mrs. Amelia Guthrie Dido ,K ....

Coached by Richard Bromley, the Regent harriers did fairly vvell in dual meets, but stumbled up in the invitationals. Highpoints of the season included a I9-36 win over IIT and a tight 27-28 victory over Illinois Teachers College North. These wins were followed by a disappointing I2th place finish in the fourth Annual Rockford Invitational Meet, won by Loras College. Individual stars and letter winners were freshman Wolfgang Anderson, Tom Clinton, Richard Green, Tim Kirk, and captain Mike Ruet. 5 z 1 i I z I 4 I .. 2 ,,.w,,5, moi . if Wolfgang Anderson ILL.

Haayen, Daniels Make National Meet Rockford's tankers splashed their way through a Hne season, posting an 8-2 standard, a mark which made them the most successful of all Regent athletic teams. An indication of what was to come was shown in the opening meet as the Regents upset George Williams College 55-47. The re- gents followed this triumph by upending previously unbeaten Elgin Community Col- lege 59-45. The tankers kept rolling on, drowning Shimer 76-27, IIT 58-42, and Illinois Wesleyan 50-49. University of Chi- cago then stopped Rockford 65-38, and following this loss, the reeling Regents fell to powerful Monmouth 65-29. The Regents rebounded to whip Illinois College 64-27 and Iowa Wesleyan 66-34. Pacing a team which broke over 40 school and meet records were Tom Daniels, Rick Haayen, Gene Gassman, Jim Brouwer, Bob Kopplin, Ken Mowll, Tom Brooks, Bob Pedall, Tom Moss, Bob Berlin, Paul Cossman, Eric McGraw, and Milt Peterson. Daniels and Haayen competed in the Na- tional NAIA Swimming Championships in Buffalo, N.Y., where Haayen captured a sixth place ribbon for his 4:48.03 performance in the 400-yard individual medley. The Regents also turned in fine showings in the Rockford Invitational and Illinois Private College Tour- naments.

W-Ai!-'4 Kathy'Lewis gives a helping hand to the Freshmen boys. Freshmen may not have had to button their beanies, but other traditional orientation week activities still greeted the class of 1970. The tug of war, as usual, was won by the vengeance-seeking sophomores but only with the aid of a pick-up truck. Yet the fresh- men got their revenge by pushing their heclclers into the mud. Lest their impressions be entirely mud splattered, orientation chairmen made sure freshmen also saw the more serious, formal side of RC. These were formal teas with faculty members and discussion groups held out of doors. But everything added up to the freshmen feeling that they were entering a brave new world which they didn't quite understand.

Job descriptions were created enumer- ating qualifications necessary for all appointive positions, elections procedures were tightened and made more ex- plicit, and all appointment dates were moved earlier in the year. Executive Board provided for the complete re- vision of the Student Handbook, and Student Educa- tional Policy Committee recommended several academic changes. But the most important act of Student Government dur- ing the year was the passage of a gateway amendment to the Constitution, making further constitutional amend- ments feasible. A committee began completely revising the Constitution at the same time in an attempt to make it more explicit and workable. The first amendment passed after the change was one altering the composition of Exec Board, replacing the four class presidents with the presidents of the Town Students Associations and House Councils, on the assumption that the latter were more able to represent the entire student body's views.

Toclay's newspaper appears to be a distant relative ot those produced tour years ago. The differences, which appear maior, have evolved over a period ot time and under the guidance of changing statls. One thing remains the same, though. The people who put out a newspaper in T964 spent many long hours and much hard labor making sure that their COLLEGIAN was a paper to be proud ot. This year's staff, like that staft, and like all the statls in those tour years, has worked to make this '66-'67 COLLEGIAN uniquely their own. As Editor, '66-'67, I have come to know and respect the people who make our COLLEGIAN possible. I have wondered, more than once, at the degree ot competence and devotion expressed, matter-of-factly, in actions taken. The number of dances, basketball games, movies and open houses missed by staff members in the line of duty is scarcely less amazing than the number of production man-hours amassed while the cam- pus slept. This was, and is, the COLLEGIAN. Though continuing a tradition of iournalistic excellence, the paper can best be represented by the title of the editorial by Editor Terry lnserra from which the above is quoted. The COLLEGIAN is, and should be, A Matter ot People. -Nhv Mary Lynn Krupianik, Production Manager Barbara Thompson, Ray Byrd, Feature Editor Circulation Manager 81 Station Manager Mike Porcaro 'ii 'FM NN src WRCR staff members Jett Lind, Bunni Mark, Phil Anderson, Shirley Hegedus, Dave Kleinloerg. 82 ll l WRCR Expands Service Publicity Director Warren Zisserson WRCR, though it went Through two station man- agers in the course ot the year, expanded pro- gramming considerably.

Serving the College community and the Rockford community at large were two RC groups, the Circle K Club and the Community Service Club. Circle K, which is affiliated with Kiwanis Inter- national, brought speakers ranging from armed forces personnel to local businessmen. The club also deco- rated the large evergreen tree they planted two years ago at Christmas, and performed other service proiects on campus. The Community Service Club continued its tutoring programs in two Rockford neighborhoods-Washington Park and the Sabroolce area. ln addition to tutoring the underprivileged youths of the neighborhoods, the Club also provided a day of fun for them at the College. 'l Circle K members, College officials and students admire the Circle K Christmas tree Sue Fairchild Clubs Seek Better Understanding of Man ...gh Man's understanding of himself and his fellows seemed to be a dominating theme on campus. The Experiment in International Living saw two RC students go to Germany and India for eight weeks of living as members of native families. Their goal was to increase international under- standing between men, both at home and abroad. The foreign language clubs attempted to reach similar goals through programs such as the Mexican dinner provided by the Spanish Club. lntervarsity Christian Fellowship also searched to improve man's knowledge of himself and God through speakers on topics ranging from char- acteristics of God to the God is dead move- ment.

Time jumped, then jerked-though Life filled your lungs, the air fizzled and has fallen forever, Chris, breathe once more with me. Perhaps the moment passed for further words but wriggling within our endless souls is a voice that will still be heard as l touch twenty-one with a life of two. Your shroud smells of silt composed of centuries of decay, but neither death nor dreariness perch on your still and soundless lips Other lads have lain down before you and their corpses were covered by time, but, Chris, while I yet live, your youth flickers when I smile, as your memory mellows and moves with me.

The college years are by nature a Transition stage, that time of life which ushers in the real business of living and bids goodbye to childhood's earlier preoccupation of growing up. Death, so much a part of The real world, for the most part skips over The campus. Students appear and become part of The mainstream of campus life for days or years. Then suddenly, one September, they've gone. Death doesn't enter in because you never know Them long enough. This September was different. A friend is missing, someone who returned, but not to stay. Senior class president Chris Hanson died on September 25 in Billings Hospital, Chicago, of leukemia. Those who knew him, whether as a varsity swimmer, social board VP, class president, or iust plain friend, know The shock of death on campus. Hanson, who transferred from Beloit Two years ago, earned friends on campus with everything he did. His part in Olson Hall's impromptu band, his bugle solos at basketball games, his election as last year's Winter Weekend king, and his enthusiasm for sports ranging from RC intramurals to ping-pong will be remembered. Death did enter in this year to make September different as none should ever be. But life goes on at Rockford College. Chris would have wanted it that way.
