Activites move students into ac¬ tion. Wheels seemed to begin spinning during enrollment this year as students stood in the seemingly endless lines to schedule classes, pay fees, and have their pictures taken. But the pace soon increased as college activities began. Smoke filled the air of the south lawn of the Student Union as faculty gril¬ led hamburgers and hotdogs for the students at the college barbeque. After spending money on tuition and books students were able to release their hostilities at a car bash. At the end of the first week students filled out questionaires in the union, that were fed into computers. Their likes and dislikes were compared and each student was given the name of his or her perfect match at the first dance of the school year. Classes began and students set into the daily routine of figuring out their Tuesday Thursday and rotating Friday classes. Athletes began their training and conditioning. Muscles that had grown soft over the summer were soon strenghened by working out in the new weight room. Coaches started planning their season and looking ahead to the first events. The club activities began rolling into action and sought new and old mem¬ bers alike. There were many choices and decisions for the students to make. Clubs were available for a great variety of interest. As the students cruised through the semesters the wheels continued to acceler¬ ate, pointing toward the end of the year with graduation as a goal.
