STATE COLLEGE Foreword A yearbook is special. It is special because it exists solely as a chronicle of events which have been shared by certain people in a certain place at a certain time. For now and for later, the moments of the recent past are here frozen in a tableau which is called the 1964 OAK. The moments themselves may be trifling and emphemeral or substantial and enduring. They are memorable, however, because they have been shared by Glassboro students during the last year. They are part of our lives. Glassboro students live in two worlds —the intimate and familiar world of the campus and the strange and sometimes frightening world outside the campus. The world of the campus is depicted in this yearbook, however, the greater world, of which Glassboro is a part, superimposes itself upon every person and every event recorded on its pages. The campus is not, cannot be isolated from the rest of the world. The similarity in dress, the fads in hair- styles, the taste in the arts, and the contemporary jargon, used and understood by all, are evidence of local membership in a larger society. Bouffant Gives Way To More Casual Hairstyles Shift to Remain A Major Dress Style Although Lawrence of Arabia and Divorce Italian Style were accorded general acclaim, it was Cleopatra that dominated the front pages, the women ' s pages, the financial pages, and the funny pages of newspapers around the world. The movie itself received only mediocre reviews, but its in- fluence was ubiquitous — from Caesar haircuts to Cleopatra soap, from eye make-up to innovations in family living. Mitford ' s The American Way of Death Cutting Commentary On American Values BALDWIN SEES FIRE NEXT TIME While Kennedy ' s Profiles in Courage and Mc- Carthy ' s The Group led the nation ' s best-seller lists, Fleming ' s Her Majesty ' s Secret Service and Golding ' s Lord of the Flies dominated campus reading. 4
