A Stolen ram and an upset ictory o er UXC may constitute many parents ' lasting impression of Parents Weekend 1965. Beyond the variety of festivities that were crowded into their short visit to Wake Forest, however, most parents will also remember their taste of what constitutes typical campus life for their sons and daughters. Nearly 700 parents were in attendence Sat- urday morning to tour the college, listen in on classes, visit with school officials at a coffee hour and attend a lecture. After Wake ' s thrilling 12-10 defeat of Carolina, the girls ' dormitories and men ' s fraternity sections held afternoon open houses, . fter a banquet that night, featuring speaker Ed C hristman, a variety show in Wait C:hapel. and Sunday morning church services, the parents left, feeling perhaps more closely a part of the Wake Forest community.
