The scenic atmosphere was one thing that attracted potential students to the campus.—Photo hy Cary Ehrrsole The Choice and more consequential. Students had to decide which classes they wanted to register for, what, if any, extra-curricular activities they wished to participate in. where they wanted to live, and who they wanted to live with. For many freshmen it was their first opportunity to make choices like this on their own. But once again, the choice was not always theirs to make; there were requirements to be met and limitations to acknowledge. Some classes were required for all students, and of course everyone had to fulfill major requirements. With academic and other prior committments, some students had no time for other activities. Some decisions were very difficult and complex, such as. Should I spend all night studying for my calc' exam to try to pull my grade up to an A or go to my roommate’s girlfriend's party and have a great time, skip French class to study for calculus, then go into the test hoping to get a 73.6 and maintain my B average. The key to making this kind of choice was knowing all the pertinent factors and statistics. Also important was the student's ability to accept the consequences of making the wrong choice. But whether they were simple or difficult, trivial or monumental, students found that the college year was full of choices. Susan Miller 4 Openlnu

The diversity of activities meant that there was something for everyone. The Delta Sig picnic was a loud, exhuberant event where students let loose and had a good time. Those attending the programs at the Holocaust Conference were touched, outraged, and angered by what they heard there. Students took part in both, gaining in different ways from what the different experiences had to offer. Both added something extra to college life. Other offerings during the year helped to keep students entertained in one way or another. Along the lines of theater, ACMO and CITAMARD produced Godspell, Cabaret, and A Thurber Carnival. Concert-goers could choose from acts by Witness, the Ramones, and Molly Hatchet as well as appearances by several local bands throughout the year. There was a lot going on for those who wanted to look for it. No one could take advantage of every available experience, but some chose to try. n ... Susan Miller Photo by Mike Mtngey
