4': Student life ,,Q-f- .. - 5 Classes and studying were a major part of student life, but there was also another side. After finishing home- work and shelving the books for an- other night, most of us started look- ing around for a little entertainment. As it turned out, we didn't have far to go. Within easy commuting distance for most students, the college was an ideal place for things to happen. Posters cov- ered the walls, doors and bulletin boards to announce up-coming events. There were rock stars and poets, beer blasts and lectures. Current movies were offered, as well as concerts, dance companies and' theater groups. Not a week went by without something spe- cialg and as for variety, we had it all. MUNCHING OUT was only one of the at- tractions of C4's cafeteria. Beginning to fill for the 1 1 o'clock lunch break, the cafeteria is also a place to study, listen to music, or just plain gossip. On later ocmsions it pro- vided the setting for such events as the Folk Art Festival and beer blasts. ,lc ...--, .- .- dt C fd Cfffffyl Qmnpxtugx Student Life Divider 7
