10 The excitement increased and reached its height in April, when the startling news was the electric spark that set the whole North in a blaze. Now at last it was fully realized that our honored Union was in danger and nothing but heroic sacrifice could save it from destruction. Following this news came quickly the President's call for 75,000 vol­ unteers, for the defense of the Capital; and when a few days later (on April 19th) there was a murderous assault by rebel sym­ pathizers on the 6th Massachusetts Regiment as it was marching through the streets of Baltimore, the excitement among the students knew no bounds. Books were thrown aside, and soon the whole student body was out of control. Finally, as some of the students had already joined a military Company, then recruiting in the town, and others were showing a disposition to follow their example, President Champlin deemed it advisable to bring the term to a close. In regular course it would have ended on May 8th. So one day towards the end of April we were assembled in the Old Chapel, and after a brief, but fervent, address by our beloved President, we were dismissed to our homes, to consult with our parents and friends before deciding upon our course. On May 10th I enlisted in a Company that was then being Shannon in 1862. recruited at Portland, Me., by Mark H. Dunnell, a graduate of our College of the Class of 1849. This Company became Co.

The exhibition was composed of 12 different sections, beginning with a survey of North American lndian shelters before 1,600 A.O., contin­ uing through colonial architecture and the federal style, the various revival styles, to tum-of-the­ century architecture and the modern styles. Special sections were devoted to Maine's Shaker architecture, industrial and com­ mercial architecture, landscapes, and also the architecture of Maine's schools. It was a visual feast; 401 items lined the galleries, and the eye leapt about from photographs to paint­ ings, from lithographs to drawings, from scale models to pieces of exterior ornamentation. Every object stood well on its own, yet each flowed easily into the overall theme. The Maine Sunday Telegram said in a review that "The exhibition is intended as a successor to Colby's

Wilderness Rescue

Participants in the second Freshman Wilderness Orientation Trip did not expect to take part in a dramatic nighttime mountain rescue, but a bolt of lightning changed that. On their second day at Baxter State Park, nine freshmen and two upperclass student leaders were met by a pair of climbers who had rushed down Mt. Katahdin. Light­ ,;...._, .L. ning had struck on the mountain­ top, they said, and four people needed help. Loaded down with supplies, Skip Pendleton '79 of Portsmouth, R. I., Dana Weisman '80 of Newton, Mass., and Tim Bernard '80 of Norwood, Mass., headed back up the mountain with the two climbers and a ranger. It was 3p.m. As the search party went higher, The new Student Health Center admitted its first patient on the opening day of fresh­ the rain turned to sleet and the fog man orientation - a young man from Florida who had caught the flu en route.

One of its greatest assets, he feels, is that it doesn't look like a hospital and woman and a 12-year-old boy and is not depressing to patients.

All suffered from exposure. With darkness falling, the res­ cuers built a rock shelter to protect the group from the freezing wind. A descent in the dark was impossible, and the rescuers could not contact a hovering Army helicopter because the ranger's walkie-talkie was out of commission. Unable to make radio contact, Pendleton and Weisman began a descent about 11 p.m. to inform ground units of the situation. Bernard and the others were forced to spend the night on the mountain, huddled together against the cold. At dawn the helicopter dropped a group of rangers. By 8 a.m. they had walked down the whole group, and a waiting plane flew out the Much work remained to be done in the Performing Arts Center when this picture was injured.

A Rough Schedule The Mules faced tougher opponents in football this fall, according to head coach Richard McGee, because of the adoption of a full New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) schedule. Wesleyan University and Hamilton and Union colleges were added while the U.S . Coast Guard Academy, Boston State and Maine Maritime Academy were dropped. Since varsity football began at Colby in 1892, the Mules have never faced Hamilton. They played Wes­ leyan twice, winning 13-0 in 1927 and 13-6 in 1930, and met Union only once, winning 6-3 in 1937.

The schedule will remain the same at least until 1982. At that time changes are expected to bring in the remaining two NESCAC teams, Amherst and Williams, as opponents.
