All Is Not Study For Students The main purpose of a university is to build mature minds. Therefore, to students, it is more than curriculums, textbooks, lab periods and study hours. College is a new way of life, where four years makes the difference between an adolescent and an adult. It is where young people learn to depend on themselves, to make decisions and stand on their own feet. And college is a place for fun — for socializing informally in the Hub or Brady, or at more formal affairs, like the big Homecoming and Campus Day dances. It is join- ing into the spirit of things, by cheering even in the rain at a football game, or by carolling around the dorms at Christmastime; it is participating in the fresh leaf rake, or worshipping with a religious group Sunday evenings. Col- lege is belonging, not just outwardly becoming a dues-paying member of several campus organizations, but belonging in the sense of finding a place in the world of your peers and developing latent talents in such a way as to best be prepared to meet future responsibilities. Books cannot provide ail there is to learn. Most real learning is done through experiences. Before and after classes, the Union Hub abounds with chit-chat, cokes, coffee, and relaxation-seel ing students. Now the day is over, as students leave en masse, for their individual destina- tions, be they on-campus or elsewhere.
