12 129 ; — CHEERLEADERS from all over the Indiand Em- pire attended a workshop sponsored by the U.S.A. Cheerleading Association at the UI during the summer. Summer Sweating Out the GPA ummer is a special time in Moscow Most university students have left town, and the pace of life slows down considerably Life on campus is far from boring, though Classes are in session most of the summer, and studying is a major preoccupation. Many summer session classes are ac- celerated, which meant some courses had major exams every week. The university selected its courses in con- junction with WSU, and the two schools published a joint bulletin. Paul Kaus, direc- tor of the UI summer session, said the joint offerings with WSU meant “‘a wider variety of offerings were made available at the two universities.”’ Another addition to the summer scene, although an unwelcome one, was the dramatic rise in fees for summer session courses. Prior to 1981 the university charg- ed a flat fee of $136, which was changed to a per credit fee of $27 for residents. An in state student who paid $136 for 10 credits in 1980, paid $270 for those same 10 credits a year later. Despite the higher cost, enrollment was up by about 10 percent. Classes weren't the only summer ac- tivities, though. Many of the schools and col- leges of the university offered camps and seminars for high school students, including JETS, several music camps, and the cheerleading camps The Hartung Theatre presented a sum- mer season of four plays in repertory. The shows, which played in late July and early August, were: A Far Country, Picnic. Same Time Next Year, and Hayfever. The shows were very popular, and well attended. Pullman was also home to a summer theatre season, with several plays on stage at WSU, attracting UI students. The School of Music hosted several high school music camps, as well as reqular undergraduate and graduate level courses. The various programs offered by the music school resulted in many concerts and recitals throughout the summer. Aside from the cultural offerings, the university also sponsored a series of barbe- ques and picnics, and many special outings such as hikes, cruises, canoeing, and camp- ing trips. All the classes, trips, concerts, and plays came to an end, with August, and the ad- vent of the fall semester. In the second and third weeks of August new and returning students poured into Moscow looking for rush activities, housing, and jobs, and bring the quiet of summer to an end.0

TOTAL CONCENTRATION is required as Dan Haber skillfully returns the serve back to his op- ponent. During the first week on campus, students had plenty of time to enjoy recreational activities without worrying about assignments and exams.
