A Summer Representation I run for miles winding down and around mountains. Suddenly I drop off forming a magnificent, crushing waterfall. I ' m a sparkling, refreshing stream located in the mountains of North Carolina. When the first warm rays of the sun creep out everyone will take notice of me. They ' ll all come running and shouting to splash around and wade in my waters. They ' ll all be right here with their coolers, radios and inner tubes. In the summer I ' m irresistible. On shivering February days you ' ll be dreaming of sunny, summer afternoons. I ' m a part of that dream. Now hold it just a minute, old man river. I ' m the main attraction around these parts. I ' m a huge. North Carolina mountain. On lazy, sweltering summer afternoons, few people can resist the urge to sit on my rocks and admire my greenery, and feel the cool summer breezes that drift down the hill tops. Sunbathers sit and bask in the warm sun to get a dark, rich tan. People come to stretch out under the trees that grow along me. They nap or study in the shade of my trees on those slow, lazy afternoons. I represent summer, summer in the mountains. l mnc f f - - m ' ' 24 Summer

a Home Sweet Cubicle Juan Calzada, a freshman biology major from Charlotte, enjoys a game of ping-pong before hitting the books. Life in residence in our cubicles originates under Residence Life, the division of ASU responsible for housing all on-campus students. In the 17 Residence Halls, approximately 4,409 students are given total home environ- ments. Jan Stuart, who lives in the first freshman coed dorm says It has been a good experience ... we get along just like a big family over here! Hoey Hall is the upperclassman coed dorm. Bob Dunnigan, the director of Residence Life, is assisted by Rick Geis, Vickie Osteen, and Phyllis Yates. They train Resident Assistants, assign students to rooms, and coordinate the present 4 housing clusters on-campus. Dunnigan ' s concentration is on the housing cluster ' s, which he adds, We hope to have four independent communi- ties develop on-campus in the next couple of years. The Residence Life staff strives to make a student ' s living experience the best it possibly can be. Involvement activities are offered throughout each semester. A residence hall is a good location to meet new people too. Senior accounting major Bill Wood, adds, Involvement in Residence Life makes things that much better here. Renefe Smith, a freshman from Myrtle Beach. SC. and Cindy Stephens, a freshman from Goldsboro, take advantage of Domino ' s delivery service. Studying is serious business to Amy Kirk, a freshman majoring in special education.
