WHAT'S ALL THIS BROU-HA-HA?
— FIRESIGN THEATER
Just a few notes on the year and the yearbook.
Changes came by the bushel the past year, and reflecting on them all in not particularly easy, even in the calm of
summer.
What seemed to begin like all school years ended like no other for many at the University, myself included. Reg
istration was the same. Lines always are. The classes and the work were the same.
But somehow, somewhere in September, the slow evolving pattern emerged that ultimately plunged the Univer
sity into national interests and united the students in an intense learning and living experience.
We have said in the book that students found the University not to be just a place to learn, but a place to live. In
this, the school is progressing, becoming an integral part of the world surrounding it, and not just a set of classrooms
where the arts and sciences are displayed to students like curios in a shop. The students are living and learning; the
two cannot really be separated.
Many people helped in producing this book. A number of excellent ideas were contributed and tied together
by the editors. Unfortunately, mistakes were also made, some of which could not be rectified. We are sorry we did
not cover more adequately the three most important dances of the year and some of the other social events. It was
our intention to give them much more emphasis than they appear to have in the book. For those who miss seeing
these events covered, I offer my apologies.
