he Harvest, Hanging, and Stampede are classic events that happen every year. They are a tradition, and it wouldn't be OBLI without them. But, events such as these were only a small part of the things that happened in C Q 'I ampus Lite Life on campus also included the little day to day activities such as hanging out in the OC, going to the library, and meeting friends and Braums. Other ac- tivities like the musical West Side Story made learning more enjoyable and helped students to grasp The big Diotufo All of campus life, however, didn't take place on the 23 acres at 500 W. Llniver- sity. lt revolved around various places in Shawnee like the bowling alleys, the movie theaters, and restaurants. Occa- sionally, students also traveled to Okla- homa City, Norman, and Stillwater. Dur- ing J-term, campus life for 12 students even moved to Hong Kong. 5 The OBLI experience was the classic exam- ple of college life, whether confined to the traditional campus events, or enriched and enlivened by happenings else- where. lt wouldn't be OBU without these happenings. rm A CLASSIC -E EMMDLE 'fi 'IQ O ilzfi ' I .- K 5: ,g ,ggi v llqv ' .i5'1 'ff Z ,,., W f I H - Productions on campus give students a big opportunity to express themselves artistically.

For many students, beach togs weren't the only summer appar- el. Some like Cathey Cobb wore hiking boots and used camping equipment while vacationing in Colorado. -photo by Brad Shir- ley O ummer tlme Sunshine, Fun Times, Sand And Beach, Where Could Everyone Else Have Gone? he sun caresses my face with white-hot intensity. I sit up and spread more suntan oil over my face, arms, and legs, As I listen to the sound of the crashing waves against the shore, I reflect on how nice and relaxing the summer is. I think about my friends and how they are spending their summers. Sure, there are peo- ple just like me wasting the whole summer out on the beach. Some make a job of this - life guards. Rance Sheilds, however, said Lifeguarding would be a whole lot easier without so much sun, water, and pres- sure. Some of my other friends have fun jobs at Falls Creek. The last time I talked to Ran- dy Cox he said, Falls Creek is fun. It gives you a spiritual re- vival and the strength to go on through the year. It's a special part of my summer. There are also those who are combining traveling with more meaningful activities. Eric Fox said of his Washington, D.C. in- ternship, I not only learned about government, I also learned about myself and other people. Some people like Jay Ramer stayed on campus to help with Super Summer. I've never seen so many youth change from spiritual apathy to real excitement and zeal and radical commitment to the Lord. Their honesty blessed me. Sherrie Carns was also in- volved with Academy. I got to work with twenty-two high school girls. I learned a lot about responsibility, she said. I turn over on my stomach, giving my back equal sun time. Just as I start to fall asleep, someone kicks sand in my face. Excuse me, miss . . . miss- can you please check me out? My face is bright red, not from sun but rather from em- barrassment. A customer rude- ly snaps me out of my dream world and reminds me that I am really just another sales clerk this summer. No, I'm not work- ing on a tan, or traveling to far away places, but at least I do have a job and am busy. That's just as satisfying . . . I guess. I Summe
