Phi Zhcta Kappa An organization exists on our campus which we feel has four admirable qualities molded into its being. This group emphasizes character, leadership, friendship and broader horizons in all phases of campus life. The belief that honor should lx? accorded those possessing these qualities as well as dedication to a good life instituted the group. Members of Phi Theta Kappa strive to make our college a good one. Additionally, they try to stimulate initiative to gain better than average grades because they realize that if students, who arc future citizens, will work to improve, our world will likewise be improved. Here indeed, is a group which endeavors to contribute to a better college made by a better student body, because the student body should be the backbone of the college. Therefore, we of the Voice staff honor the Lambda Gamma Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa. PHI TH1-TA KAPPA—1963

Wc, the Staff of the VOIC.R of 1964, would like to devote the following seven pages to a special recogni-| it ion of certain individuals and organizations which seem to us to have demonstrated on campus the possession of quanlities we think will contribute to a better world. Wc do not mean to imply that these arei the only persons or organizations on campus of this caliber, but rather that they are to us representative of I all who serve with dedication. As college students we feel that we are justified irTpIanning for a happy and resourceful life which should result from the knowledge and maturity we are gaining during our time here. One of the aspects of this new learning is, perhaps, the ability to form better judgments about the characters of men and organizations.

Morticulture Department Anion the departments on “The Mill ' one has shown a feeling of-unity among its members, a unity of lasting quality, devotion and friendship. At Ojxm House, 1963, these feelings became visible to the college personnel, the students, and the public. Indeed these feelings were essential for the creation of such a fine exhibit. It begins each year when students of the department register and begin to find out just how, where, and why everything functions as it docs. Their home on campus becomes the floral arts lab where they meet before classes, during classes, and after classes to work with others to create beauty. It was during such meetings that the plans for the exotic display were formulated and worked out. 'Hie display consisted of a carefully constructed bridge area, a mountain, and a Polynesian atmosphere prepared with natural resources donated by state areas and collected by the students. To lop off the atmosphere, a hut and Polynesian girls made one believe that he was actually on the island. Hawaiian leis were imported and the girls of the department made their own colorful costumes. Corsages, made by the students, and orchids were sold during the tours of the exhibit. How can such perfection come about? Work! Class lab periods, free periods, and evenings were used advantageously. This work plus their feeling of unity makes this department so outstanding. The students are able to enjoy their companionship with the fun and the excitement which goes along with gathering material, making papier-mache backgrounds, and packing mud in the rain. It is because of this feeling of unity and hard work among the members of the department that the Voice takes great pleasure in honoring the Horticulture Department. 6
