Rush One of the most familiar four-letter words on any college campus is the word rush. On some of the larger campuses, where Greek Row bears more than a passing resemblance to a planned community, this innocent little word probably strikes more terror into undergraduate hearts than pop quizzes, sadistic profs and blind-dates combined. Here at OSC, although the greek organiza- tions are not yet as large nor as firmly entrenched, the spirit which begins with this little word is nonetheless bountiful. Every fall and spring, as regularly as the movement of the tides, a new group of pledges are intro- duced to the philosophies and habits of the Greek Way. This involves, among other things, being criticized (objectively and at times subjectively) by a big sister or brother. It also involves a lot of work and a lot of personal discomfort. Sometimes these discomforts are given the label: this is to determine whether or not the lowly pledges con function together as a cohesive unit; at other times it is thought of as simply giving the pledges a hard time. At last how- ever, the tests and the hard times and the projects are over and the pledges, finished with toil and anguish, are welcomed into the fold. A group of potential rushes enjoy themselves at a getacquainted dance held at the beginning of the formal rush period. Elucidating on the above line about toil and anguish, a group of Zeta pledges enjoy a moment of play before embarking on a pledge project. It is probably one of those tests of their ability to function together as o cohesive unit. Sigma Phi pledges, left to right. Rich Harris, Tom Dickman, Steve Altig, Emory Frink, Dave Hopkins, Bill Lee, Pete Conaty, Larry Ray, and Mike Bula complete their lost assignment as they dedicate a cake at Paddle Presents. This is the night that they w ill become full-fledged members. 21

C aTT ACADEMIA He frothed his bumpers to the brim A jollier year we shall not see. But though his eyes are waxing dim, and though his foes speak- ill of him. He was a friend to me. Old year, you shall not die: We did so laugh and cry with you, I ' ve half a mind to die with you. Old year, if you must die. Alfred Tennyson How very well doth yon poet sum up our feelings upon reaching the end of this year. We dedicate this page to another bustling, culture laden year in the halls of Academia. It is a common misconception among those far removed from the ivied walls of a college that the intellectual is being replaced on the modern campus by the technician, the bureaucrat, and the illiterate button pusher. This is surely not the case at OSC. Here, students not only take an intense interest in their classes, but utilize every available moment of time. They engage themselves in staunch intel- lectual pursuits; for hard work is the watchword, and OSC students do an infinite amount of watching. Take, for example, the three enter- prising young students at the left. Notice the sheer vigor in which they apply their available moments. Engaging in intellectual pursuits can only be accomplished by strengthening our knowledge and finding new cultural experiences. We must continue, as one might say, to meet our little cultural friends. Many of our nice instructors have volunteered their lunch hours during the past year, to bring culture to the students. Grateful students have labeled these sessions the golden hours. They are eagerly attended. At right, a professor reads a thrilling Eliza- bethan sonnet as an enraptured group of stu- dents listen attentively. Notice the intense con- centration of these enraptured students. For each of us there will be a time when we reach the final spring of Academia and go forth from the college campus with a staunch education in our minds and holes in our pockets. We leave the college and its warm memories and prepare ourselves for the cruel world out- side. Here we see a picture (left) of a senior preparing for that big leap into the world around him. 23
