Zen Den Opens
With
Hippie" Theme
Last Saturday night, Septem
ber 16, the combined organiea-
tions of the Canterbury and
Newman Clubs, better known
as the Anglo-Cats, held for the
Student Body a Zen Den. For
those of us who do not under
stand completely what a Zen
Den is, the common definition
is a place of gatJiering for those
select persons wko enjoy learn
ing about their fellowman in an
accepted atmosphere. The at
mosphere developed on Satur
day night was synonymous to
that of the Hippie cult. The ad
mission to the Zen Den was the
presence of a flower on one’s
persoH and one thin dime.
This atn»osphere was aiweut-
ed by fights shining down from
the “heavens” in the Studeiat
Union, a»d lighted candles on
each t^le.
A well known group, who
call themselves just Tenna
George, and Peggy provided
entertainment. When they tired,
the ©ver-present juke-box was
plugged in, and the aHdience
came forward and went through
the physical gyrations of the
dance.
The Zen Den is now in its
second year. This year plans
have bee* made to have a week
ly' meeti*g with entertainment
on Saturday nights.
