Roaming at Iowa State with Glenice

Fifty years ago I enrolled at I.S.U.. It is amazing to see and feel the sameness and difference that a half century makes.

They say that if you kiss a virgin at midnight under the Campanile, a brick will fall.  So far, all bricks are in place.

The Roamer with "Solo" by William King, 1973  The caption reads:  "Through the decades, the artist created sculpture that referenced miseries or anxieties encountered in school from childhood through college, as well as other challenging experiences in organized social encounters.  Sometimes these public induced miseries kept King from fully functioning and enjoying life.  "Solo" expresses the exhilaration of triumphantly surviving those miseries and boldly anticipating what it is to individually address and conquer our personal anxieties."  So here are two conquers!

Christian Peterson's four seasons fountain in front of the Memorial Union.  Each Native American woman represents a season.  Fall is holding ears of corn, of course.

Leo, my sign.
