IS BETTER More students also completed the equation to make for more Tiger fans sporting the traditional orange and black of Cowley. Packed seating became commonplace as Tiger fans filled the stands at Curry Field and the seats of the Auditorium!Gymnasium, rooting Cowley athletic teams on to victory. Bigger also applied to the Cowley campus itself. In the fall of 1982, full use of two recently renovated buildings began. The historic high school became the home of the police science program, the medical laboratory program, and the Cosmetology program as the structure became the new Ser- vice Technology Building.

T h e Auditorium!Gymnasium also was put to full use following a maior renovation because of its destruction in the May 1981 tornado. The two buildings were dedicated in the fall of 1982. While finding .that bigger is better, Cowley students also found the value of the individual. Indeed, when one takes a look within the eye of the Tiger, one really finds that the I of the Tiger is what CCCC is all about. by Paul Englis.

' 1 . F' ,J Living away from home ssleeds to mdfiy adjustments when STUDENTS BREAK AWAY Students breaking the ties with home to attend college are faced with adiustments to survive on their own. The biggest adiustment I had to make was learning to live with someone new or different, said Sonya Williard, sophomore from Cambridge. I lived In the dorm with Cindy Leftwich, who is from Cam- bridge also. Of course I already knew her, but I still had to adiust to living with her. , Williard occupied a space in the dorm throughout her two-year stay at Cowley. It was a neat place to live. I really liked it, she said. You had the chon- ce to meet more people and if you needed help on your homework, all you had to do was go down the hall to get it. However, for students living off- campus, the peacefulness was a blessing. According to Lois Neises, Oxford sophomore, apartment living was great. You don't have people popping in on you all the time, she said. You are your own boss and you don't have any curfews at all and no one wat- ching over you. Neises' biggest adiustment was learning how much to cook for her- self. I come from a family that is quite large. So, l am used to cooking for 1 SOLITARY STUDYING - Chris Farris takes ad- vantage of the quiet surroundings of Renn Memorial Library to complete an out-of-class asignment for his American National Govern- ment class. fPhoto by David Bartonl 6!living away from home eight to 15 people at one time, Neises said. I found myself cooking too much and I had to either reheat it or stuff myself so it dldn't spoil. Cooking for one person was a drag. Another difficulty Neises faced was the grocery bill. It made a bigger dent than I thought It would, she said. Even though students living in the dorm didn't have to worry about food bills, they still had to watch ex- penses. You gotta watch your money more, Williard said, you can't run to Mom and Dad and say 'Hey, I need some money,' it lust doesn't work that way anymore. Turning to parents seemed to be a necessity that students couldn't do without. It is a little scary when you first leave, Neises said. Because when you're at home you know that your parents are right there. But, now you have to make all those decisions you used to turn to them for answers, by yourself. It gets kind of scary. Willlard agreed with Neises. Even though your parents are iust one phone call away, it is still not the same as living with them, she said. For some students getting out from under mommy and daddy was a welcome change. It is really kind of a reIief, said Chris Farris, Winfield freshman. l liked being away from home and not having my parents around all the time. According to Farris, the biggest ad- iustment was getting up in the mor- ning. You had to look out for yourself mostly, he said. You had to make sure you got up and got to your classes. Meeting new and different people was an advantage cited by all three. I had to adiust to the different types of people and personalities, Williard said. I really liked meeting new people and living in the dorm. However, Williard said there was a disadvantage. When you are at home, it's easy to get your homework done, but when you live with 80 other students who sit around until someone says, 'Hey, let's go do something,' it was a little hard to say no, Willard said. Getting away from home also produced a better attitude for studen- ts about themselves. I feel better about myself, Williard said. I was really quiet in high school, but college life really got along with me. I loved it at CowIey. Above all else life away from home was a learning experience. You have to grow up sometime, Neises said. You might as well start n w. . g i b Laurie Randall
