Fun Carries On Through Sunny, hot, and humid . . . a weather forecast? No, this isjust . summer around campus. Although according to stu- dent Molly Gray, iiThe session seemed rather relaxed because there was less of a load, - the pace is heightened somewhat. I guess it makes more sense - studying for one class is much easier than studying for five or six or even seven at a time. Since the dorms are closed for the summer, except for athlet- ic camps and Preview, the cam- pus is relatively calm. The hur- ried atmosphere has left along with the students. The extracur- ricular activities have been halted until the reqular fall semester, and time can be devoted to Class work. Summerjobs seem to be the most common activity among students. Making money during those three months is a must if the costs of tuition, books, and parking stickers are to be paid. Whether the summer is spent working, relaxing or studying is left up to each student to decide. According to most, summer vaca- tion is a time to slow down the pace and take it easy until the fall semester begins once again.

It's hard to draw lines when you're a student, and that's not just because you don't understand Pythagoras. Where does your life as a solid citizen of the academic community end and your fast and loose existence as a party animal begin? When are you learning, and when are you having fun? Some- times you're a student, and other times youore an employee. It's not easy to figure out, is it? Don't worry, you'vejust gone Over The Edge. You aren't exclusively a student: You have job, a family, a mid-term, and an urge to go wild. Should you study or go out on the town - see a dumb horror movie or attend an educational event ypreferably one with refreshments? Bal- ancing these opposed but somehow related interests is what makes college life dynamic. Philip Read y STUDENT LIFE 7
