Hard Work, Cooperation, Fun Fill Married Life by Kathy Sweeney Hard work and a great deal of hustle best describe the lives of married students. No one ever has enough time for enjoyment when they ' re stretching their dollars for tuition, car payments, and rent, because you work whenever possible and study in between times. Haven ' t you ever crammed for a test because you worked the night before? Or eaten T.V. dinners because your wife had a paper to type? It ' s a real go-go deal when you decide to marry while still in school unless Daddy gives you his checkbook to live on cause love doesn ' t buy many groceries or pay the bills.

Caring Becomes Creed of Some Students Involvement was the key factor as some NWMSU students broke through that age-old cliche, young people never get in- volved and emerged as students who do care. Sparked by the ' 72 election and recently acquired voting rights, hundreds of students took advantage of the privilege. Voter registration exemplified the concern of the students. In the perseverance of helping one another, 345 students, more than the quota needed, volunteered their time and blood to the an- nual Bleed-In. Student Senate involvement inspired students to raise money for the muscular dystrophy drive, which brought in $500, and for the United Fund drive. Other aspects of student interest were evident as they con- tributed to the establishment of a Sheltered Workshop in Nodaway County. Further involvement was exhibited also in students becoming security guards, resident assistants, and Union Board members. )6
