DRINKING Alcohol has earned a prominent place in the guide- book, because it has earned a prominent place in the boodstreams of many students. Almost everyone has experienced that drunken feeling of euphoria and that sunken feeling of a hangover. Every weekend some fra- ternity or sorority has a party, and another silver keg floats down fraternity row. Though alcohol is not permit- ted on campus, occasionally a beer or two can be found in a dorm room refrigerator — nothing to worry about though, they disappear quickly. E ELECTIONS Elections are announced in the Conglomerate a few weeks before the day of voting. If anyone is interested, he petitions to the SGA and floods the campus with posters announcing his candidacy. Election day comes and voices fill the air — What are we voting for today? Why is there always just one candidate? Why bother to vote? (Our student body has never taken an over- whelming interest in politics.) Because of apathy, we ' re stuck with what we get, and unless you can say, Well, I certainly didn ' t vote for him, don ' t complain.

The Eng- lish language barrier does not prevent them from scoring high GPAs or becoming an active part of the Centenary campus. 12 • Guidebook

Freshman English has been the downfall of more than one or two students, and people who have always made As in English sudden- ly find themselves looking at a pink slip. Our English de- partment is tough and has a more stringent grading scale than most other departments because the profes- sors believe that English is the foundation for the rest of a college career. Most students soon discover, however, that the basis for their grade is writing in the style of the teacher. G GRADES Grades come out two to four times a year, depending on whether you take Interim and summer school. They are what you ' ve worked for all semester, but likely as not, they are not as high as you had hoped. A week after final grades are due, that little square carbon garde report arrives in your mailbox, you rush inside, Grasp and Pull , and see what the labors of the semester have wrought. ■■■ gL Warn «M J • ■ . i « i 1 J ® r ■ £«fm- v 1 m iy ■ SS JS , | • ft Guidebook • 13
