Last September the main fad in the United States was hula- hooping and Vice-President Woodrow Strickler was no exception. Student leaders take time out to enjoy the recreational facili- ties at Otter Creek Park. Leadership Camp is not all business as these students and faculty members prove. LEADERSHIP CAMP Leadership Camp was held last year at the beginning of the school year at Otter Creek Park. Student leaders from all of the University schools attended the event. They were addressed by the Dean of each school and members of the administrative staff. Both lunch and dinner were served at the park lodge. Be- tween the meetings students made use of many recreational facili- ties of the park. The day was concluded by an informal dance for which the Air Force Band supplied the music.

HARVEST MOON FESTIVAL Each Fall the Music School Student Council and the University Student Sen- ate combine to sponsor the Harvest Moon Festival. The Festival has been held each year at Gardencourt where couples par- ticipated in all types of dancing from waltzing to square dancing. Coffee and doughnuts were served during the inter- mission. At the end of the evening a giant bonfire was held with students gathering around for singing. i Conversation and dancing are only two of many facits of the Harvest Moon Festival which made it a delightful evening. Students gather around the fountain during an intermission at the Harvest Moon Festival held at Gardencourt. Cokes and pretzels were served to fill empty stomachs. Since Harvest Moon is held each year about Halloween, a pumpkin head made an appropriate decoration. H915 fi, ,
