STUDENTS UNITE DURING SCHOOL Students not only unite by wearing the same styles or by expressing the same view¬ points, but also by forming non-official groups with commonly shared interests. Al¬ though social cliques may never form, par¬ ticipation in campus classes causes feelings of closeness. For instance, nursing majors probably know each other better than general educa¬ tion students for two reasons. First, they share a common goal of wanting to help others. Second, once they begin courses in their field , they have more classes with each other. As in any relationship the more they talk to each other, the better they know each other. Therefore, it is easier to estab¬ lish a friendly relationship. The Student Union provides a place for people to study, eat, socialize, and relax, as Kevin Bowers and Troy Brodie realized. Unity derives from people helping each other. Cheryl Rainbolt and Stephanie Goerl work together. 8 Class Unity

Silent cooperation is found as Danny Mcatee finds quotes and Danius Patterson records them. Cooperating with each other trains students Tammy Hinsen and Jan Hill for their profession. In the same manner, students know eac h other by working together. For instance, an editor depends on photographers and writ¬ ers in order to complete his or her section. These students also work long after-class hours when they “paste-up” a newspaper page or a yearbook spread. Even stu¬ dents who do not major in a certain area learn to work together by doing homework together or preparing for tests. They also meet in the Union to discuss weekend plans, to play pool, or to watch T.V. Con¬ sequently, students unite by going to class, going to the Union, and by sharing com¬ mon interests.
