Put the perfect day on ice. Pour everything you've got into a game of volleyball, baseball or football- then put it all back with an ice-cold Pepsi-Cola. Pepsi has the crisp, bold cola taste that turned on a Whole generation. And When it comes to putting back energy- Pepsi beats all the others-cold! You've got a lot to live. Pepsis got a lot to give

North Park made simple. Here are four North Parkers you know all about. You know the Covie, that close- minded evangelist who spends all his time in Bible studies, prayer groups, or singing in a gospel team. You know the Black, who wants to be separate and always gets special treatment--someone to cheer from the stands but ig- nore on the street. You know the Jock, loud and obnoxious,who talks of nothing but sports, is drunk at a party every weekend, and comes to school only to play ball. And you know the long-haired, indifferent Freak, who spends most of his time in his room smoking dope and listening to wall-shaking rock music. What's more, since you know all about these guys you don't have to listen to what they have to say--unless you happen to agree with them. And of course you don't have to love them. You can just chalk up North Park's problems to one or two of them and go about your busi- ness as usual. lt's nice and simple. But it's all wrong because you really don't know them. -os? ,fy x,gwa+L7ieN' v 'f l 4' Pm -. .slits ' 4 .Qs '- ve' : M i. b. For all you know, that Covie isn't as closed-minded as you have taught yourself to believe, but puts his faith to work every after- noon playing basketball with inner city kids. For all you know, that Black is part of a black student association not to set himself apart, but to educate a group of peers whose skin and experience happen to be different from his own. For all you know, that Jock finds more gratification in teaching a child to crawl than in going to parties, and came to North Park primarily to go to school and then to play ball. And for all you know, that Freak has done a lot more serious thinking than most of us, and takes the time to talk with people who are avoided by others. The point is, you don't know. And most other people don't either. Maybe it's time to look beyond a label or a stereotype and see each other as people with a common experience. Give the other guy the benefit of the doubt and you'll discover he isn't as different as you thought. Together we can do it. Alone we can't. Th t' ' I t BUi'tiSsiTuT We need each other 'U Il
