I The governor took a few minutes out from the festivity of the Governor-'s Ball to have a quiet chat with his son John, a student at WSU. Governor Visits Campus This year Governor Albert D. Rosellini has con- tinued his interest in WSU. He was unable to be at the Homecoming game to crown the queen, but he was present for the annual Governor's Ball. He has also made frequent visits to the campus for confer- ences. The governor, who was born in Tacoma, at- tended the College of Puget Sound and graduated from the University of Washington. He served as a state senator before he became governor. Governor Rosellini greeted guests during the second annual Governor's Ball, held in January. Sharing the honors are Dr. and Mrs C. Clement French. It is hoped that the Ball will become a tradition, with the governor visiting the campus for the event each year 22
