-4s time at URI passed, we noticed a wide gap between ourselves and the people we left be- hind in our home towns. Our interests differed where before they had always been in agree- ment. It was at this point of becoming aware of the gap that we really started to understand the true meaning of a college education. It was not them, but us who had changed and became concerned with things that seemed totally out of the ordinary to our old friends. Our minds and interests grew beyond theirs. A very important and confusing change that we had to deal with was undoubtedly the mis- givings we had at some point or another, about our sexuality. Remember, if you can, how tough it was to make the transition from dealing with high school boys and girls to dealing with people who were well on their way to becoming ma- ture men and women. In a time when morals and values changed so rapidly, right and wrong did not always coin- cide with the values of Mom and Dad. And decisions that helped form our individuality were frequently very hard to make. But the painful decisions we pushed ourselves through were important in our steady growing process. IV U.R.I.

Possibly the most disconcerting thing for someone who just arrived at UR I is that uncomfortable feeling of being constantly lost and confused, not knowing where to go to or who to turn to for help. It seems that for most college students, once all these unpleasantries are out of the way, the next natural step is to be- come involved in a loving relationship with the school, with fellow students, with education, with teachers, and most of all, with a special someone. Getting totally involved with someone may be the ultimate way to discover just who you really are. We experimented with the idea of love and being in love because we wanted to experiment with the responsibilities as well. We gradually grew to become more responsible in all areas of ourselves, and therefore, we could share real love with others.
