And since you won’t find any reference in the Daily News (without browsing back page space filler), here is a little something . . .<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Courtesy of the 1952 edition of the University of Idaho Gem of the Mountain yearbook.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>---------------------------------<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>“Of Sex and Free Love . . .<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>And another year has closed on life at the University of Idaho. The time covered between September 1951 and June 1952, saw new laurels and honors bestowed on Idaho, and also saw a pleasant balance of achievements and disappointments for Idaho students.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>For this was the year that Idaho recaptured the nationwide collegiate blood title, in regard to percentage of students giving blood. It was the ASUI, you remember, that initiated the first student sponsored blood drive that has since become commonplace among the nation’s campuses (or campi, if you prefer).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>This was the year that the Third Party Association, wading through Argonaut and presidential opposition, cane into semi-power with the election of Ray Cox to the ASUI presidency and two TPA’ers to the Exec board.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>This was the year of the Cox-conceived Reverse Panty Raid, beginning at three in the morning, and including a pre-dawn dance, downtown serpentine, and a classless Friday, for those courageous enough to benefit from it.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>And this was the year of the picnic and party. Any organized resistance faded as the year faded, until the last month of school, when students floated to classes and were poured into bed. But a grand time was had by all, except the administration, who failed to realize that a college education is more than a simple quest for good grades.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>We of The Gem staff have tried to provide sufficient visual memories of these and many other events in this, the 50th volume of The Gem of the Mountains. Compared to past Gems, you will find the arrangement unique, to say the least. The key to this edition is supposed to be integration. Whether we have succeeded or not is entirely up to you, our severest critic.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Naturally, orchids go all over the place when it comes to giving credit for the book. Andy Tozier and Sheila Janssen, who did in two weeks what the living groups editor couldn’t do in two semesters, are at the top of the list. And certainly this book couldn’t be published without the full help and cooperation of all the other staff members, with Carla Brodd, Bill Boyden, Bob Stivers, Jack Marineau, and Jean Whittemore as standouts.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>To Gale Mix go special, ultra-rare Lower Hindustani orchids for all the invaluable assistance he gave us all, and, from the editor’s standpoint, for never inquiring how far the Gem was behind. It gets a little embarrassing when you have to say, “Oh, four or five months or so.”<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Another carton of orchids go to Bob Freeman and Ralph York of Syms-York Company, and to Ken Miller, of Western Engraving Company, for multi-assistance and unbelievable patience while waiting in April for the November copy to trickle through. Also those fabulous flowers go to Hutchinson’s, Rudy’s, and Sterner studios, and Kyle’s photo shop, for working super-duper hard to produce our prints on time. And the list goes on and on. To everyone who gave us a lift, a big thanks.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>So here is your 1952 Gem of the Mountains. As all editors say in their post-mortem remarks, we hope you like it, and (what the more tactful and discreet don’t say) if you don’t like it, that’s rough, because we really can’t do it over again.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Finally, forgive the head on this final burst of hackneyed journalism, but I did want you all to read this, and I knew too well that anxious eyes never pass up the forbidden fruit.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Jerry McKee, Editor”<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>---------------------------------<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'>Here’s something a little old (now), a little new (in 1952)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:6.0pt'><img width=712 height=601 id="Picture_x0020_0" src="cid:image003.jpg@01CC1169.CDB262C0" alt="UI_SUB_1952.jpg"><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Seeya round town, Vandals.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tom Hansen<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Moscow, Idaho<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>UI ‘96<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Came a tribe from the north brave and bold . . .<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>"Here We Have Idaho"<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.tomandrodna.com/HWHI.mp3">http://www.tomandrodna.com/HWHI.mp3</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>"I-D-A-H-O Idaho Idaho Go Go Go"<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://www.tomandrodna.com/Vandals.mp3">http://www.tomandrodna.com/Vandals.mp3</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
