duplicated.
For freshmen, Sept. 17 was the beginning.
However, three days earlier the first grOup of
Peace .Corps trainees at the 'University had,
been graduated.
On Monday, Sept. 18, the whole world was;
shocked when it received word that U.N.
Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold had been,
killed in an airplane crash while on a peace'
mission to the Congo.
Following this' start, the fall term settled
down with two syfeks of frosh customs and the,
usual. fuss over the weekend football games.
There were demonstrations for Thanksgiving
vacation which had been eliminated as the Uni-:
versity shifted to the 1,0-week tlrm system.
The term passed quickly and drew to a close
as 'Albert Diem resigned as vice president of
business administration, and the ISGA changed
Its name to USG. Sports-wise, the football
