association Midnight serenades, hash sessions until 4, someone to share your problems with, fun, fancy, and even a little heartache all go into a living group. It is within this house—whether it he a dormitory, a co-op, a sorority, or frateniity, that the deepest friendships and ties of college life lie. Often within the term, we put our troubles and the thought of Monday’s midterm in the bottom bureau drawer and transform ourselves into space men, ballerinas, cowhands, or characters of mystery and romance. For awhile we become someone we can never be, and will never be again. And if our shrieks of laughter drown the strains of the dance band or bother the neighbor’s sleep, the outsiders can only wish they could be a part of us and lay their troubles away so conveniently for even an evening. In a living group, no doors are ever closed, because friendship cannot recognize any barrier. Likewise thoughts are more frequently discussed, because among friends every concern of the group or individual is a concern of everyone’s. It is in the living group that we learn the basic rules of etiquette and adjusting ourselves to various situations and personalities. Perhaps it is here that we first learn that no one is ever perfect. The loveliest girl on campus sheds a little beauty when she appears in pin curls. The handsomest boy loses a little glamour when you meet him with a toothbrush in his mouth. During this part of college more common experiences are formed than at any other time or place. Without a living group, how could you possibly meet someone 20 years later and bridge the gap so effectively as in saying: “Remember the time we short-sheeted the housemother!” 10

good manager or a clean-cut smile. Students traveling off campus can be classified more than one way. Strangers may see them, observe their actions, and shrug saying, ‘Oh, well, just college kids.’ Or, they may say ‘They’re from Oregon State.’ The tone of voice varies as does the meaning behind the words. It’s not easy to be on public display —the one who can make or break the reputation of an institution in the public eye. It doesn’t do to perform well only on the stage or the playing field; consistently perfect performance is essential to an outstanding reputation. We at Oregon State arc just as proud of our representatives as we are of our campus. Perhaps that’s why, to us, the OSC creed symbolizes so much, no matter where we are. We hope through our representatives the creed can mean as much to others as it does to us, because “We believe in Oregon State.”
