Speeding through the deserted hallways, I open the door to adviser room with the sound of the second belt ringing in my ears. After considerable debate with my unyielding adviser, I trudge disgustedly to the attendance office, where I pick up my daily tab. Upon returning, I interrupt my adviser's customary morning lecture: . . .and you still have two weeks to start bearing down and bring those grades up before low scholarships come out . . . I finally begin my routine wake-up conversation as the daily bulletin is being read. I slowly become aware E : iq. of the sounds of squeaking doors and approaching footsteps. By the time I look up, a feeble Lagniappe ticket salesman is already being bombarded with pencils and paper airplanesg a sympathetic student swiftly escorts her to the door. Just as the room has settled down to peace, I am suddenly startled from my stupor by the clashing of chimes over the loudspeaker. A fuzzy Tri-ship announ- cement emerges, but its blare is drowned out as the students crash out of adviser room, leaving the exasperated adviser trailing behind in a cloud of pink slips and re-entrance permits.

We've lived, and now we must learn to work. Together. Certainly, they set the standards, the stereotypes, the models. The female in her devine loveliness was never meant to participate in the roughnecked sport of man. And then again, the male athlete was required to glisten brilliantly with the fury of the game, ever so bold in his victory. But it came easily in the innocence of our youth. Those warm, summer evenings when a game of softball or kick-the-can was the perfect end to a lazy day. The assumption was that everyone joined in, regardless of their sex. It seems a shame that standards should confuse and bewilder a world to such a degree that humanity must unite in a statewide decision: Title IX. After all, we've been together for such a long time. Naturally. fSTUDENT LIFE

An expression of diversity surrounds our school. The conventional rules of student learning, teacher instruct- ing are often exchanged. The power of education is an ideal that transcends the system, from the student who becomes the teacher, to the professor turned harmonica harmonist when the homework checks and the grades tally. Even in the mastermind computer that collaborates the pupil's activities, the roles are commuted and the organizer awaits the schoIar's bidding. It all assimilates into the intricate process of growth we call the learning experience.
