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

The satiric Beyond the Fringe and Stop the World I Want to Get Off dominated New York ' s theater until Arthur Miller ' s serious and contro- versial After the Fall launched New York ' s Reper- tory Theater of the Lincoln Center. Hootenanny makes Webster ' s Third Interna- tional. By permitting audience participation, it has made folk singing the most popular art form and the most trenchant social commentary on col- lege campuses. How many deaths does it take ' till he knows That too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin ' in the wind. The answer is blowin ' in the wind. The Hearst Corporation, publisher of the N. Y. Mirror, announced that the name, goodwill, and other assets of the Mirror, the nation ' s second largest newspaper, had been sold to the N. Y. Daily News. Dodgers Win Series By Beating Yankees Four in a Bow The glory that was Britain ' s further waned as Kenya, the last British colony in Africa, gained its independence. At home Parliament was rocked as newspapers headlined the names of John Pro- fumo, Stephen Ward, and Christine Keeler . . . The mail service and Scotland Yard both seemed somewhat less than reliable after the seven-million- dollar train robbery near Cheddington. SENATE PAGE BOY MAKES GOOD, BUT President Johnson and Senate Democrats pre- pared for Republican exploitation of Bobby Ba- ker ' s indiscretion while rumors of presidential suites with hi-fidelity and Washington motels of low-fidelity swept the capitol. Events, both national and international, reverberate through the smallest community. Its people rejoice at achievement, anger at injustice, weep for the help- less, and mourn for the dead. 70762
