The modeI of the LSI of tomorrow receives a thorough reviewing UNI Holds Open House, Expo-UNI In July, shortly after the last renaming, UNI held an open house for students and the public. Expo-UNI. the main feature of the open house, included pictorial and documentary displays that reviewed the school's history. After the viewers had acquainted themselves with the school historically, many took ten-cent train tours to see how the campus has changed. Refreshment booths and a faculty band concert were also part of the day’s activ- ities. A balloon man added to the carnival-like atmos- phere. The exposition summarized the school's ninety- two years of history which starts with ISNS in 1876. continues through ISTC in 1909 and SCI in 1961. and climaxes with UNI in 1967. The all-day open house was brought to a close with an informal dance. 19

Summer School Marks Forward Steps This year’s summer session was boih an end and a beginning. It was the Iasi year for an eleven-week session and with the name change on July I it was the first year for university rather than college students. The 3.118 stu- dents, including many teachers returning to work for higher degrees, kept up with the somewhat increased study pace by taking advantage of the casual atmosphere and the opportunities for more outdoor recreation. The summer UNI Theatre production was a romantic comedy, “The Lady's Not for Burning.” Playwright Christopher Fry points to man's greed and hypocrisy in his optimistic story of a disillusioned soldier who is rec- onciled to the world by saving from execution a woman accused of witchcraft. Crews working on the new union, the science building, the high-rise residence halls, and the completion of Noeh- ren Hall kept the campus in action. In addition to con- struction progress, this summer also marked an academic step forward with the beginning of Free University courses on the subjects of existentialism and human sexuality. Ixrretta Ross plays title role. Young lovers complement plot of summer play An advanced interpretation class moves outdoors to informally rehearse their program.
