As disappointing as the 1981 football season was, it left a chance for improvement. A golden opportunity awaits students joining an organization because they can be more than a number in 23,000. A student has to change his or her life when enter- ing college. But more than just personal change, a student has a chance to affect life at Texas Tech. — Dennis Boll and Kellie McKenzie Ron Robcrlson Skateboard skillsA Taking advantage of a sunny day, Tom Roberts shows off his skills witfi a skateboard and a ramp.

Student Life Various activities and happenings on campus broaden the life of a Tech student. Snow creaturcsV Lubbock received a total ol 35 9 inches of snow last winter, including a record breaking 17 inches one storm in January Students took advantage of the school holidays to build snowmen. From the first time i freshman registers for classes until the time he leaves Texas Tech, his lifestyle is changed by various activities here. One ma- jor aspect of college life is learn- ing to live away from home. Life in a residence hall is something about which nearly all students complain Some say they need to study all night but can ' t, because of stereos and the all-night parties next door. Some say too many people beat them to the shower, and no hot water is left for their showers. And some say the cafeteria food isn ' t worth looking at, much less eating. Then there ' s the excitement of living off-campus in an apart- ment. Students finally can study, but don ' t because they want to take advantage of being away from school. Hot showers are a welcome change, but because the hot water heater is so small, showers of any duration arc an impossibility. Home cooking also is nice, but students find their cooking doesn ' t compare with Mom ' s. Mass confusion at registration used to be an inevitable factor of college life at Tech, but that ' s gone with the arrival of com- puter registration. Or is it? The Student Life section por- trays the interesting, the unusual and the exciting aspects and golden opportunities of being a student at Tech. — Dennis Ball It takes all kindsA The two furry creatures didn ' t go to Tech — at least not dressed this way. The apes handed out bananas as drink coupons during spring registration. Coliseum confusion-4 With compuli ' i registration now at Tech, students no longer will have to sit on the floor and rework their schedules Col- iseum confusion will be gone. Student Life — II
