Then the Candid Weekend of the Summit Conference The year began uniquely for a group of freshmen men who were allowed to live in Faculty and Reynolda Gardens Apartments as an experimental solution to the problem of perennially over- crowded dorms. In Johnson Dorm, junior advisors for the first time lived on halls with the freshmen girls, helping them with their initiation to college life and their inevi- table questions. The first fall week ended with the Pozo-Seco Singers concert in Reynolda Gardens. There had never been a concert like that one — sitting on the hill on a barely summer night — a small chill — and a lighted, wooden stage at the edge of the lake below. It was nice to move the informal togetherness of a good concert to the Gardens, a sort of special part of the campus. Many new things were tried and ini- tiated this year; as one of these, the Sum- mit Conference accomplished its purpose: student, faculty, and administration leaders met for a candid weekend at Camp Hanes to discuss mutual problems of the school. Last year ' s skepticism at the whole idea of a frank talk with the adminis- tration was shattered by Vice President Lucas and other members of the new administration. Participants talked openly and off the record, proposing new ideas and explaining the reasons for past ac- tions. Of course, no decisions were made or direct actions taken as a result of the talks, but students and faculty members gained a new understanding of the ways and means of gaining realistic solutions to their problems.

53 i m 2 The year streaks at the start, and the fall is always full of activities — football games, the first round of quizzes, Parents ' Weekend, and the Carnival. For the second year the fall Carnival was a school-wide undertaking to plan, to panic at the thought of a week before, to set out stake markers for, and to spend the whole day building booths held up only by a prayer. It was a cold night for black-stock- inged legs and little suits, for jumping out of birthday cakes, eating candied apples and making oil paintings, and for playing miniature golf. But people came and had fun, and they bought lots of tickets. And maybe the Carnival people had more fun than the crowd. The Carniv al panorama lit h court (above) hile I.
