Despite claims that there is nothing to do on campus, one need look no fur- ther than across the hall, the sidewalk or the street to find something interest- ing to do at MTSCl. Free entertainment is frequent, movies at a greatly reduced rate are offered daily and Blue Raider sports squads thrill fans with their athle- tic exploits. Concerts ranging from Jackson Browne to Kenny Rogers, Ste- phen DeGroote to Eugene Fodor, Gilda Cruz-Roma to Barry Manilow are but a few examples of the wide variety of en- tertainment offerings at MTSCI. Organizations tailored to suit the indi- vidual tastes of the 11,000 MTSU stu- dents are a vital part of the (Jniversity community. Fourteen national fraterni- ties, seven national sororities and more than 100 special interest groups offer students ample opportunities to assert their individuality by being a member of a group. The work study program offered by MTSCI has also become an integral part in the lives of many students. This pro- gram enables students to work in their field of study, while at the same time providing experience as an insight into the outside working world. 16 Student Life

The life of the student on campus does not lend itself to that of acquiring that most need- ed element, sleep. The freshman on campus is usually seen as ' brighteyed and bushy tailed. But, never fear, that may be the first and last year of meeting the required hours of slumber. By the time the student has arrived at his fourth and final year, he subsists on two hours of interrupted sleep. Student Life 17
