This year, the subject was cosmology and it brought Dr. John Wheeler and Dr. Kip Thorne. The symposium dealt with such topics as black holes and the physics of the universe. It was a great success, and students debated the theories for weeks.

Syllabi proved to be as puzzling and vague as ever, with corrections usually being made every two weeks.

HALLOWEEN Students put down their books to participate in the merry-making of Halloween. The annual apple-dunking contest was held again during dinner in the Commons, and contestants were able to show off their breath-holding abilities. A pumpkin-carving contest was also sponsored but many pumpkins were left rotting in the corners of rooms. LK open house was well- attended, with goblins roaming the halls. One never knew just what was around the corner, but gypsy fortune-tellers would inform you of your future . The annual Halloween dance, sponsored by the Union brought in a lot of crazy costumes, including a VD cell and a Killer Bee. The evening was irreverent, and provided students with an outlet for craziness.
