THE LIGHTS burn bright at night in the library. This solitary soul prepares for finals.

KIM and Rena Sadler ready themselves for half-time activities during the homecoming game. Ole’ Kim was portrayed by Don Mitchell. -t? rf a Nine months...one academic year...One chance to grab for the proverbial Loe ring. Fall semester finals roused students back to reality and some students to the library for the first time in...months. Most everyone was still party- ing to celebrate Homecoming, the time when Stu- dent Government President Rena Sadler crown- ed Raylene Hudson queen. The time when we were all celebrating the Aggies’ overtime victory against Central Arkansas. The beer flowed freely that night. Each year is special. We treasure some parts and forget others. Failed exams are forgetable, first romances are nof. Each person absorbs as much of his or her college experience as he or wants to. We all do it in different ways. John Hollarn, the defen- sive captain of the football team, is not likely to forget the feeling of relief when the UCA kicker missed the PAT. Senior Mark Cotner, who qualified for Who Who's, wi ill not forget run- ning to Dr. Si impson’s office so he would have a Richard Nixon for president button on his lapel when his turn before the camera came. President Davis will never forget the struggle, or the trips to Stillwater, to get a change of func- tion so Cameron could put the wheels in motion for a araduate program. The Native American Club won't forget the spring pow-wow held in the gym. 500 people turn- ed out to help the club raise money and to dance and sing in the traditional ways of the Indians. The golf team is not likely to forget its trips to Mexico or the Bahamas, or its District IX victory in the spring of 1986. No one will forget the rained out Homecomin parade that finally sonal without the band members because they could not get their instruments wet, Or the club on Weel trying to stop traffic so the floats could get onto Gore Blvd. We never forget, we just go on. Moving up “‘Rising To The Top.”’ INDIAN WAR dances were performed by Gene Sovo and others sae the Spring pow-wow sponsered by the Native American Club.

Life at any university is made up of many things. Studying, partying, make friends, learning about yourself, learning about others, those alive and dead, growing into a whole new person. Going to football games, dances at Shepler and meetings. Getting involved in the activities around you. Life at Cameron is like most other college campuses. We work and play hard. We go to the Mad Dog and dance our cares away and to Gertlestones to drown our sorrows and cheer our successes. We make new friends and solidify old ones. We learn about people and about new places. We run away to Daytona Beach, Florida and South Padre Island, Texas during spring break. Some are new fo university life, and getting adjusted is difficult and exciting. Getting away from the nest and out on our own, living in the dorm or in an apartment. Working on growing up. Lear- ning about chemistry, English, music and speech. Some things we love and others we hate. But most of all we want to get to a higher place. We are all ‘’Rising to The Top.”’ 8 University Life Division Page
