Students make each university distinct and each year at a university distinct. Therefore to judge U-D 1964, one must look at the students. To judge them one must look at their activities. As might be expected, the activi- ties are many and varied: U-D has 131 different organizations. The list is headed by the governing councils, which seek to consolidate groups of similar aims. The Student Council, repre- senting all students, is the most important. But there are also nine other governing councils for smaller U-D segments. Social organizations are nu- merous with 17 in total - 12 fraternities and 5 sororities. Scholastic groups, though not as well known, are numerous. Honor societies, professional groups, and study clubs exist in each college. Three political groups serve the campus. 1964, being a presi- dential-election year, saw them get into the campus spotlight. The University has six publi- cations. Three serve the entire campus and three serve segments of the University. U-D is not limited to its four varsity sports. Students have formed ski, horsemanship, and sailing clubs. Religious and service clubs have small but dedicated mem- berships, who do their work quietly and efiiciently. To come to a generalization about the U-D student is seen to be difficult, for he represents many interests. The word most often used is apathetic, but with no more reason than the fact that U-D doesn't have many boister- ous all-student activities. But this doesn't show apathy. It simply shows that U-D is a university in the true sense, many interests and many activities, rather than one interest and one activity. 5 :- 7
