This was a year of much activity. On the international scene, Khruschcv and Eisenhower exchanged state visits; they're rioting in Africa; Russia hit the moon; royal births made head- lines; Castro launched new attacks on the US; Lady Chatterly passed the censors. Nationally, Able and Baker were catapulted into space; the US hosted Adenauer; racial segregation again became an issue; the Movie Guild went on strike; it was Nixon vs. Kennedy for the Presidential hotscat; the White Sox lost to the Dodgers but Chicago saw its first World Series in -10 years; Simone Signoret won an Oscar for Best Actress. And locally, the East-West Cultural Center received tremendous impetus; the carnival hit town on a big scale; Benny played the Honolulu Symphony . . . tickets were $100 a throw; Aku and Lucky exchanged radio spots. Amid these major events, the UH had its equally important happenings; compulsory ROTC came to the fore; Vasconccllos was hanged in effigy three times; Afro-Asians came to campus; there were four presidential candi- dates in the exec race; parking was available for 1400 . . . there arc 3500 cars on campus daily; Tempest Storm was Miss April; Ka Pap was moved to the Shell; TG brought Hamlet to Hawaii. But who can say what the major events were? Who can say what major events arc? Seeing is believing, so see for yourself!

FROSH CONFERENCE We’ve all been guilty at one time or another of complaining alunt preparing a meal. If» »uch a chore, we cit. but wail 'til von try doing it on the big scalc at camp. They came. Carrying suitcases and Pan Am bags and wear- ing bermudas, shorty blouses, jeans, sports shirts, and Kona hats they came. Eager freshmen swarmed into Atherton House, checked in, boarded buses, and were off to Camp Enlman and the Beginning of the Rainbow, singing the Stanford Drinking Song and the ditty about pink pajamas. The Frush Conference, New Student Orientation Camp actually, sponsored by the YMCA and YWCA, has three major objectives: to stimulate the new students to things critically, to provide occasions to make new friends, and to afford oppor- tunities for spiritual search and growth. The program included three platforms and 12 seminars, during which freshmen listened to and talked with professors, politicians, and upper classmen. But all was not listening and discussing. There were folk dancing, games, swimming, skits, all of which seemed to be more fun for counselors than for campers. After lights out, girls sighed over pictures of their steadies. Flashlights aroused suspicion, but intermittent lights in the john went unquestioned and were sufficient for pic lure-gazing and hair-setting. Above the sound of the breaking surf could be heard muffled voices and sudden bursts of laughter followed by a louder Shhh! You'll wake the counselor. A sham really . . . the counselor was making ns much noise. This was for the benefit of the next cabin, lest they too were awake. Conference policy explicitly states that “This conference is for campers only.” but “uninvited guests necessitated a dou- bling of the guards at night. Another conference policy discourages gambling, but Las Vegas Night nullified that policy. Some lucky gamesters won enough bottle caps to pay for tuition, but couldn’t find the window where they could turn them in for cold cash. Breaking ice, policies and counselors, freshmen began Rain- bow life by kicking up quite a storm. They're probably gathering lor the evening eampfiie. Or maybe for the family portrait, but whatever, the pit. romantic beneath the plncs-spooky at nlght- was the outdoor assembly hall at the Mokulcia site.
