Greeks and clubs competed against each other and state and national groups, often bringing home first-place honors. Activities such as Homecoming worked like magnets, drawing hundreds of alumni to their alma mater for a weekend of fun and nostalgia.

STUDENT The extracurricular activities which revolve around more than 13,000 students on a university campus could be compared to a transit system in a metropolitan area. It all begins with the exodus back to the Hill after a sun-filled summer somewhere else. Then as students get settled into their homes away from home, they look for entertainment and recreation. The entertainment came in forms of musical groups who visited the Hill. They stopped in Bowling Green long enoug h to play their latest hits for the small but enthusiastic crowds who always lit their lighters and begged for encores. More lecturers, dancers, actors and — singers visited the Hill. Sponsored by the University Lecture Series, the Center Board’s Entertainment Series or the Fine Arts Festival, they brought culture to the LIFE on the Hill stages and lecterns on campus. As for recreation, a group of graduate folklore students drove into the country to help their department head raise an 1822 four-room log house in his backyard. More than a dozen students volunteered to become Big Brothers and Sisters. For spring break, students had three options. Some began their student teach- ing, the last leg of their education, while others opted to follow the men’s basket- ball team to two NCAA tournament games. Others rushed southward to play in the sun and surf of Florida. It was a year of traffic to and from the Hill. While people came from all corners of the world to stop for a while at Western, many students likewise stepped out into the community or state, taking a part of the Hill with them.
