CAMPUS SPORTS Whether they want to participate directly or watch, ail Birmingham- Southern students have the op- portunity to be involved in campus sports. For the spectators there are intercollegiate sporting events throughout the entire school year. ' Southern boasts tal- ented athletes that comprise top intercollegiate baseball, soccer, basketball, and tennis teams. All these teams have records that not only please the team members, but make the entire campus proud to have them wear black and gold. For the more active students who don ' t have the chance to play in varsity sports, ' Southern spon- sors an extremely competitive in- tramurals program. The almost never-ending season of intramural sports gives all students the chance to break the study routine and have a good time. College should teach students not only to read, listen, and study, but just as importantly to interact with other people; and sports are an excel- lent way to learn. Evidently, BSC realizes the vital role that sports play in the college experience. — JAMES PENNINGTON — ' - ' ' s x n a.- 12 CAMPUS SPORTS

ACADEMIC SURVIVAL •«S»»U5lliBW«MB!«E«a!!»M S3t ii Studying, especially alone, is not a favorite activity of many people. It is probably lucky if it makes the top fifty favorite activities. That ' s understandable; few people should enjoy dredging through mountains of material that is sometimes about as interesting as watching grass turn brown and die. De spite an intrinsic aversion to studying, most students spend a large portion of their time study- ing. At ' Southern, academic sur- vival demands it. Your friends will make you work even when they aren ' t willing to do it themselves. Memories of epic studying are vi- tal to experiencing college fully. Hundreds of Krispy Kreme runs to stay awake just a few more hours and black, stomach-hurting U- Tote-M coffee have been good in- terludes in many studying jaunts. Waking up with your head on the book you were supposed to have read happens far too often to get all the work done. All-nighters are inescapable memories of college. No matter how disgusted anyone is with even the concept of study- ing, if you survive academics at ' Southern, the fact is that you have studied meticulously and know you have. Your memory will never let you deny it. — LANDIS SEXTON Studying in front of Art Building (above). Stockham Women ' s Building (opposite left). Dr. Earl Holliman (oppo- site right).
