Diamonds in the Rough The ingredients for a new year were all present at the start of the 1983-84 school year. The students, faculty, staff, long lines and the same old complaints were all here. The air held a different atmosphere, though. The students were more determined than ever to show their individuality, feven though this caused most of them to look the samel. Everyone was more excited than usual and ea- ger to start the year off the Hrightl' way. It was more of a feeling than anything else. It showed on the faces of student leaders and in the enthusi- asm of the members of the organiza- tions. The competition was stiff and the tension built between the com- peting fraternities and sororities. This mounting tension also brought people together - in the long-run. The problems that rose out of the differences of some of the orga- nizations were brutal and threaten- ing, Knot to the extreme, although sometimes close.D There was talk of unfavorable actions to take place, but these actions were never to see the birth they were intended to see. They were aborted and replaced with the seed of a new attitude, which is more of a feeling than anything else. The new ingredients have realized that we're all here for the same rea- sons. We're all DIAMONDS in the ROUGH trying to celebrate the blue and gold for a victory that will last a lifetime.
