I INFLATION Inflation and unemployment are beginning to hit home with college students. Summer jobs are harder and harder to find, and if you do get one the money you make doesn ' t go very far. With spiraling gas prices, weekend trips have been cut to a minimum, and more and more smaller cars have appeared on cam- pus. In the midst of dire predictions that the economy will get worse before it improves, students just hope it gets better before we ' re out of school. INTERIM That blessed six week break always seems to come when you need it the most. For those who decide to take a course away from campus, there ' s skiing and hiking in Colorado or sightseeing in Europe, and you even get credit for it. For the few who stay at Centenary, the peace and quiet of having the cam- pus all to yourself is almost worth missing out on the travel. The atmos- phere is usually much more relaxed than during the regular term, and this year interim residents got the added pleasure of being able to play in the snow. INTRAMURALS Intramurals are the proving grounds for the campus fraternities. Competitive fever runs high as the Greeks vie for the coveted intramu- rals trophy. Potential football and basketball players are recruited dur- ing rush and practice begins way before the season starts. By the time the sports begin both the Greeks and independents have formed some pretty good teams and the games are well worth watching. 27
