Homecoming By the end of the third quarter, the crowd was cheering wildly, at least the part of the crowd consisting of Cowboy fans. The Aztec fans seemed to be some- what more solemn, and understandably so. For the Aztecs to make a comeback and come out ahead at the end of the game would have been all but im- possible. As far as winning the game was con- cerned, the fourth quarter was just for good measure, and just to make it a complete football game. To say that the Aztecs deserved the chance to catch up in the last quarter would have been pure jibberish. and both sides knew it. The final score was 52-10. The Cow- boys gained over 500 yards total offense while keeping the Aztecs down to 30 yards rushing and 177 yards passing. The Cowboys, on the other hand, gained 241 yards rushing and 261 yards passing. Even UW Head Coach Paul Roach admitted that he had not expect- ed the Cowboys to win by such a large margin. The Cowboys had regained their stature with pride, and they were on a roll, which they proved in later games. Like anything accomplished by a num- ber of people, the Cowboys ' over whelming victory was the result of precise, concerted and strong team- work. The Cowboys ' determination saw them through to a victory. It was perhaps important to recognize some particular individuals for outstanding performances. UW quarterback Craig Burnett com- pleted 18 of 31 passes for 257 yards and four touchdowns. Defensive tackle Jeff Knapton took down the same Aztec quarterback three times, deflected two San Diego passes and made six other tackles. Running back Gerald Abraham rushed for 92 yards on 15 carries, and running back Steve Bena gained 87 yards on 15 carries. The importance of teamwork and good sportsmanship in that Saturday ' s victory could not be stressed too much. These qualities were the very essence of a proud and successful team, whether the game was football, basketball or just getting a job done right. It could not be disputed that the Cowboys displayed all of these qualities in their Homecoming victory over the Aztecs. Needless to say. the occasion called for celebration, and the spirit of Homecoming and the pride of victor) ' lasted into the night. There were too many parties around campus to count, and the traditional Homecoming Skid was a big hit. There were several bar- becue parties, both on and off campus. In short. Laramie was an all-night party. Perhaps things stirred a bit slowly the next morning, but the sense of pride, victory ' and teamwork from Homecom- ing lingered for weeks.

WATCHING THE BOOB TUBE is a favorite ac- tivitv when relaxation is the objective. Photo by- Dan Levar Environments enhance individual preferences Housing options offer variety PETS ARE WELCOME additions to any envir- onment especially when they help people feel at home Photo by Dan Levar UVV students had a variety of options open to them concerning where and how to live. Among these, of course- were dormatories. fraternities and sororities. University apartments and married student housing. Options not associated with the University included apartments. houses and parents ' homes. Different housing options offered different features: each one was a separate alternative to be considered by students. Dorms offered a chance to meet a lot of new people and an en- vironment that was supposed to pro- mote and enhance good study habits. They offered the convenience of hot meals in Washakie Cafeteria and a place to live that was perhaps safer from crime than other options. Fraternities and sororities were similar to dorms in some ways but quite differ- ent in others. Unlike dorms, they offered a more relaxed atmosphere and a chance to live with people sharing similar interests. Student apartments and married stu- dent housing offered co-eds a chance to live completely on their own and get a taste of the real world. Off -campus liv- ing also offered independence, as well as privacy, with the exception of living with parents. To find out which of these housing op- tions was the most comfortable, practi- cal and conducive to good study habits, the WTO Yearbook went straight to the students. Four different group of co- eds, ranging from students living in the dorms to those living off -campus, were asked questions about their living ar- rangements. Al though all responses varied, each group seemed to agree upon several things. The first group questioned, the dorm dwellers, all agreed that the dorms were not conducive to good study habits, even on the 24-hour quiet floors. This seemed surprising, since the dorms were designed to promote an educational en- vironment. The reason for it. however, was quite simple. The rules and regula- tions designed to limit rowdy behavior, especially those on 24-hour quiet floors, were all but ignored. Threats taped up in the lobbies of the dorms were«the nearest thing to rule enforcement. The dorms are comfortable enough, but I have to go to the library to get any homework done.
