tudents come to college for many different reasons: to get a hiigh-paying job, to be with friends, to gain knowledge or to please their parents who told them they had to go. Whatever the reason, students all share in Student Life. They can remember running in the rain to keep from being late for a class, spending hours talking with friends over a burrito at Hulio's, and staying up until 3 am. studying for the looming midterm. Ironically, although Student Life consists of all those activities parents send us to college to experience, they may be the one aspect of college parents hear about the least. A considerable amount of energy is expended partying at the local watering holes surrounding the campus and at other popular places where good food, drink e and possibly the start of a new romance - are available. Intramurals, fraternity and sorority life, varsity athletics, cultural arts events, and student organizations also provide entertainment, educational and professional opportunities. Graduates tend to reminisce more about the crazy things they did while in college than about what they learned in the classrooms. Such things as toilet papering the trees and shrubs in front of fraternity and sorority houses, sneaking beer into Fairfield Stadium, telling a professor whose mid- term test you skipped that your grandmother just died tfor the 10th time that semesterl, or informing your parents that a llWF means withdrawing from a class in fine shape. tThese, of course, are the things parents aren't told about until students have their degrees safely in handJ Stujying tbeir farer, participant; in tbe Ginol: Homecoming pizza con- tertfeart on tbe rallege rtudentlrfavoritefood.
