eil OFF THE RECORD his is strictly off the record, but there was more to the life-styles of CMU students than the University let on, lt was the everyday stuff: the things that students discovered as naive freshmen and took for granted farther on down the line. They encountered academic escape of a spiritual nature--whether the spirits were found in a chapel or a liquor store. While there wasn't a great amount of peer pressure, it was hard for a student to ignore the fact that sexual relations existed on campus when blankets and a pillow were found strewn on the couchg the bedroom doorknob with a Do Not Disturb sign. And the inconveniences, like trying to pry some financial aid out of the University, and meeting every secretary on campus in the effort. Or announcing srnugly that the mid-term isn't until the fifteenth, and then realizing that it's tomorrow. Somehow coffee, no-doze and a lot of study-breaks got students through the all-nighters. You won't find any of this on an official record--it's just a slice of the experiences students lived through every dav. 6 L +77 1 .V Y-, X N X 'b ,ili- - ... 'fx A4 Off-the-Rccordv-2 7 l 4
