The Triangle introduces a new feature titled Retrospect to explore past and present, notably dinosaurs and paleontology, aimed at informing the student body. A second column, White Port and Lemon Juice, will offer satire and criticism spanning from light wit to contemporary commentary to provoke thought and sustain standards in the feature section.
A retrospective look highlights extraordinary prehistoric creatures such as the diminutive Pteranodon with a 27 foot wingspan and Elasmosaurus with a 20 foot neck. It covers Gigantophis, Brontosaurus, Struthiomimus, Stegosaurus, Corythosaurus, the platypus, and the elephant bird of Madagascar, noting sizes, features, and years ago they lived.
A researcher describes an annual spring rite among the Americanus Collegii Studentorium students. The migration to the southeast coast begins with a first full moon of March or April, using self propelled land vehicles. At the shore they wear minimal costumes, drink a ritual liquid, then dance to drums and strings. The rite lasts seven to ten days, ends as groups depart northward, and is planned to recur next year.
The text surveys creatures from oceans and land, noting the ostrich-eyed speed of a swift bird clocked in India with flight speeds, a blood temperature, and an insect beating wings at 57,000 times per minute. It describes the rabbit fish with a rabbit-like head and teeth, the oarfish with a horse-like form, deep-sea angler fish using luminous lures, and the blue whale at 108 feet and up to 191 tons. It also recalls Brontosaurus and its relatives, weighing around 50 tons and up to 90-100 feet long as the largest land animals known.

University of Southern California administers the contest, Continental Oil Company and Ponca City sponsor. Deadline July 1, 1964. Awards distributed August 30, 1964.
