The circus came to town! The most magnanimous Big C Circus ever to hit Cal. The activity in Harmon Gym, which was highlighted by a twenty foot clown in the center, was enough to make Barnum and Bailey green with envy. People were throwing darts and pies, smashing cars, dunking friends and enemies in huge tanks of water, poloroid pictures, eating cotton candy, spilling soda pop, and dancing to the music of Sylvester Grisley and the Candymen. Though it sounds chaotic, the circus was all organized fun with the proceeds going to Cal Camp. Gee, almostl 30

Union Week This spring the Student Union celebrated its second birthday. A complete week of activities was scheduled with the usual programs designed to draw together all segments of the campus community. Charter Day which featured a space exhibit climaxed the calendar of events. The Student Union which opened in 1961 was a dream after 13 years of planning. Clark Kerr, as Chancellor, made student welfare his number one concern. He initiated action, stimulated planning and guided the building campaign over the years. 10-9-8-7-6 . . . The Student Union, a magnificent architectural structure, was financed entirely by contributions and student fees. Joan Baez Events were scheduled throughout the week. On Tuesday, Dr. Fred Stripp, a mayorial candidate spoke in Pauley Ballroom. On Wednesday William C. Foster, the U.S. disarmament representative spoke on arms control and disarmament. As Director of the New Agency, Mr. Foster is principal advisor to the President and Secretary of State; he has prime responsibility within the Government for arms control and disarmament activities. On Thursday John W. Cowee, Dean of the School of Business Administration, spoke. Serving as legal consultant and economic advisor to legislative in several states, his special areas of academic interest include the Economics of Risk and Insurance, and Insurance Law. Then Friday Joan Baez was scheduled to appear at the Greek Theatre. But due to our usual Berkeley weather, her performance took place in Harmon Gym, instead. However, her songs, mainly ancient English ballads which tend to be slow and sad, left the audience feeling quite satisfied. To climax the week of activities the Yale Russian Chorus, an internationally acclaimed student choral group, performed in Wheeler Auditorium. K nown not only for its excellent musical performance, but for its unique contribution as a program of cultural exchanges, it has toured Russia four times, and on the last visit, gave concerts throughout Europe. 29
