. In this, tne largest THISTLE in twenty-eight years, we celebrate the interesting, the ordinary, and theS| jfoftenunderestimated details of life here at CMU “Every Day.” By the calendar, our staff wasabletocove] many special events during the period from Labor Day (the beginning of the school year) through g Valentine's Day (our final publishing deadline). Our goal was not to record day-by-day activities withinmi every area of the campus community. Rather, we have chosen to feature certain people, places, and.9 issues which faithfully represent or capture the essence of the larger scene. For instance, the “OneDay”fl Section on page 113 is a photo essay which offers our view of the common experiences any student miahtM have on a typical day at the University. We recognized the great emphasis most students here place on academics and tried to describe what it's like to be a student in each one of the University’s colleges ; today. We observed how people spend their time outside of class, whether it was with the guys down thew9 •hall; in a frat or sorority; at the comp center; in a student organization; or with the girls at a party, i Throughout the book, we have placed a strong emphasis on spotlighting individuals at a special placets in time. Just how did we look and what were we doing at carnival time last spring, during homecomings weekend, on the day of the first big snowfall, at the senior banquet? In addition to the unique happeningsjWn of the present, we ventured a guess at future days with robots and then turned to look back on the earliestS .days pf Carnegie Tech. In this record of our year together, we hope every student connected with then jUnivereity will find something that was a familiar part of life here — Every Day. ■ Chris Barrett, Editor m iv nr. mii IS IN Till.
